A people's person. Though many think I'm talkative, contrary to this, I'm too shy. There is one thing boring though; too principled. Retweets not endorsement.

@MDNnewss You call for peace. The marchers delivered a peaceful march. Instead of lauding the organisers for the discipline, you just can’t stomach their success and, as a result, you would rather sound like a bitter ex. Cde Mbaks, this is NOT NECESSARY. The movement has far bigger issues!

@robertmarawa Also, the Belgian 🇧🇪 #8 tackled from behind!

@ZungulaVuyo To be fair to him, he inherited the mess and has been showing the necessary political leadership when it matters the most.

Immigration crisis as it is in South Africa needs a multi stakeholder approach.

I have served long enough in leadership to recognise a troubling pattern. Too many among South Africa’s elite - black and white - appear to believe the rules that govern the rest of us do not apply to them.

As chairman of an SOE, I am regularly approached by business leaders asking me to intervene in operational or procurement matters. When I explain that my role is governance and oversight, not management, they say they understand. Yet the requests continue. This reveals a belief that exceptions exist for the connected few.

It was therefore striking to see Business Leadership South Africa and BUSA, organisations that have been vocal against state capture and political interference in state-owned enterprises, actively advocate for political intervention to transfer transmission assets to the Transmission System Operator. These are the same bodies that insist on corporate governance and board independence. Where, then, is the role of the SOE board? What exactly do they believe in?

Equally concerning are recent allegations involving former Democratic Alliance leader Tony Leon. Senior figures within his own party, including John Steenhuisen and Dion George, have raised issues that appear to involve conflicts of interest and undue influence. This from a voice that has long lectured on ethical standards and clean governance. Do these rules apply to everyone, or only when politically convenient? Selective morality is not morality at all.

When those who position themselves as guardians of good governance apply different standards to themselves, public trust erodes. But South Africans are watching. We see the inconsistencies. We now know where people stand.

The path forward requires courage. We must expose wrongdoing wherever it occurs without fear or favour. We must demand that those who preach accountability live it consistently. We must insist that rules bind the powerful as they bind ordinary citizens. And we must model the ethical society we want to build.

South Africa does not lack good people. What we need is the collective will to insist that principle applies to all. Let us find that courage. Let us call out double standards and build a nation where no one is above the law. That is the South Africa worth fighting for. #ProudlySA

@SixoGcilishe SABC is has a Public Interest Mandate to report on issues of public interest. Today’s marches were the main public interest agenda. Beyond this, it was for public safety to keep the nation informed, from information to incidents.

Of course, you are intentionally not objective!

[Enos D. Lekala @Enos_D]

Nothing scares the ruling hegemony like @JacintaNgobese showing “…you can liberate yourselves without politicians putting their names to it” and to the ruling hegemony that “…we can do this without you.”

Not only is this empowering; it is also threatening political legitimacy!

It was wonderful to be at ONEO Farms in Tarlton, Gauteng. This successful farm supplies Woolworths with produce and is managed by 20 year old Oratilwe. Thank you for having me!

[Enos D. Lekala @Enos_D]

@green_pippa I have learnt that people will always obfuscate when they are not prepared to understand the ‘other’ view. When a farmer complains about drought, it’s easy to remind him of the sea water if you can’t relate.

Let me entertain you: how do you reliably count undocumented people?

[Enos D. Lekala @Enos_D]

@ClaysonMonyela The third forces so desperately want South Africa to descend into chaos. I thought by now they would’ve learned that we are guarding this flag patriotically 🇿🇦 ! ✊🏾

[Enos D. Lekala @Enos_D]

True. I just saw a man who was deported in December 2025 back in Limpopo.

[Bear🐻🜲 @Brother_Bear07]

A Malawian illegal foreigner says that other Africans tell each other South Africa's laws are lax, which is why most of them come here, they get to do whatever they want. He says he's been caught at the border many times, yet he's still a free man. 😳😳😳

@Stapvermaxxen @MARIUSBROODRYK Interference with an officer of the law for a start. You can add obstruction of justice if you will. Have you considered that an uncertified vehicle potentially puts other drivers at risk as its roadworthiness is in question?

[Enos D. Lekala @Enos_D]

@Stapvermaxxen @MARIUSBROODRYK Yes. He was also supposed to arrest him!

Unbelievable. One of the SANDF’s most highly secure military bases in Pretoria,Tek Base , was broken into, and military-grade weapons, including grenade launchers were stolen.

Three foreign nationals have now been arrested in connection to the heist.

How is our national security this vulnerable? 🚨🇿🇦
