An American just got sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for moving “Antifa” zines and there’s about 1000x as much media coverage of Trump’s reflecting pool 👍
IDAC is a big problem for this country. It boggles the mind that the PKTT is a structure that was established at the instruction of President Ramaphosa, to be overseen by the Inter-Ministerial Committee. But today when they are being hindered by IDAC to do their work, the President is silent and that IMC is quiet. Matlala is arrested today because of the PKTT. Matlala clearly become the ultimate beneficiary in all this mess. I truly hope that #MadlangaCommission is noting the erosion of trust and outcry by many of us citizens, that we want to see IDAC disbanded asap, and have this as one of their recommendations. We can't be ruled by criminals. "Favorable conditions for Matlala?" Wow!

The Passing of a "Caretaker" Guard.
While Nelson Mandela's release in 1990 grabbed global headlines, Oliver Tambo had been the glue holding the ANC together in exile since 1967. At this very July 1991 conference, a frail Tambo, recovering from a severe stroke he suffered in 1989, gracefully stepped aside to let Mandela assume the ANC presidency. Tambo viewed himself merely as a "caretaker" president keeping the seat warm for Mandela. To honor his decades of service, the ANC created a brand new title specifically for him at this event: National Chairperson.

Both teams were in Group A.
sometimes i wonder why i even bother doing what i do; then i realize that if i quit, some of the worst people in the country would be pleased. Fuck that!
(Never underestimate the power of spite)
The Freedom Charter was adopted on this day in 1955. It explicitly states that South Africa belongs to "all who live in it, black and white". This famous assertion from the Charter’s Preamble was a direct challenge to the apartheid regime's laws, which claimed South Africa was a white-owned country while relegating Black South Africans to second-class status or stripping them of citizenship entirely. It DOES NOT mean that South Africa is no man's land and thus its immigration laws should be disrespected or not enforced.
BREAKING:
A forensic report seen by eNCA has recommended that the City of Tshwane Council directs the City Manager to institute disciplinary action against suspended CFO Garry Mnisi.
The allegations against Mnisi include that he failed to declare his directorship in companies. That Mnisi breached the code of conduct for municipal staff by failing to declare his relationship with construction company Ngaphesheya in two tenders.
The scathing report also reccomends that the Tshwane City Manager institutes disciplinary action against suspended TMPD DC Umashi Dlamini for breach of confidentiality when he shared GUBIs invoice with Sergeant Nkosi.
All were implicated at the #MadlangaCommission
More on @eNCA shortly.

I wonder if people realise that Israel is not just a threat to the ME but to all of us. Their tentacles run deep and they have more than once openly stated their scorn for non Jews. They wont stop at Palestine, Lebanon, Turkey, Iran, Egypt & Syria, they just want a bigger base.
He struggled to explain the R60k he had on him that day. He called it petty cash. Chair was shocked " You have R60k petty cash? You must have a big company". 😅
The problem with these young intelligent educated fellows like Nku and Mnisi, is that they were groomed into corruption, now their English and accents cannot save them. Tragic!
