I voted for for @Action4SA in Pretoria mainly because of work ethics of @nasiphim but the behaviour of @HermanMashaba on social in the past 4 days has been very appalling. Maybe he should cool off social media until end of negotiations @ME_Beaumont#LGE2026
It is clear that Zille and Mashaba don’t get along. Their fallout appears to be irreconcilable. Well, I thought irreconcilable differences are limited to prepubescents because the youth of today mature early and therefore they soon shake off such toxic emotions and mindsets. While they can’t be compelled to reconcile, Mashaba has repeatedly stated that he will never work with Zille. He keeps repeating this message at every opportunity he gets. There’s something unsettling about this behaviour, but can’t call it. I certainly won’t call it immaturity. But maybe it is. It’s like he derives some lucrative pleasure from it. Such a behaviour surely has a name - I just don’t know it. But am certain its name is unflattering. By all means he shouldn’t work with her if he doesn’t want to. But why repeat it a million times 🤔
I just love the way the ANC suggests the klap they got at the elections, was due to a maturing democracy. Nothing to do with their inefficiency, corruption and poor leadership.
@Time2Coach Have no idea what work entails, speeches, conferences, meetings, workshops, engagements, commission of enquiries, public events, talking shit and providing false promises…….
THEN TELL ME WHY YOU GUYS ARE TWEETING ON HER BEHALF??? SHE COULD HAVE SENT OUT A TWEET IN HER PERSONAL CAPACITY ‼️ ‼️ 🚨
NIYANYISA NINA ACTING LIKE YOU OWN THE GOVERNMENT 🤮
On a serious note, the Minister needs to clarify whether she is pursuing this defamation action in her personal capacity as Mamoloko Kubayi or in her official capacity as a Cabinet Minister.
If this is a personal legal dispute, taxpayers should not be expected to foot the bill. Public funds and departmental resources cannot simply be used to finance a minister’s private litigation.
SA common law, as established in Die Spoorbond, does not recognise a right of government or organs of government to sue for defamation to protect their institutional reputation. However, an individual Cabinet Minister retains the right to sue in her personal capacity.
@sacr_official1 will write to the @DOJCD_ZA seeking clarity on the legal position and the use of public funds in such litigation.
You are correct that the Constitution requires the national government to support all 257 municipalities, regardless of how communities voted.
What you leave out is the record. The ANC has held the Presidency and the national instruments of the state for more than 30 years, and has governed the majority of those municipalities for most of that period. The Auditor-General’s latest report shows only 15% of municipalities received clean audits — and not a single metro did.
Your own president has admitted it is “hugely painful” that the best-performing municipalities are usually DA-run, not ANC-run.
Voters have just cut the ANC’s support to around 31% in these local elections. After decades of dry taps, sewage in the streets, potholes and collapsing finances in the places you have governed longest, the claim that national government “serves every household” regardless of how people voted is not a constitutional reminder. It is an attempt to escape accountability for results.
Take legal action with your PERSONAL FUNDS. You were on an ANC work not as a minister so nje ungalinge usebenzise our taxes for your small ego nonsense wenze i hairstyle ngathi yindlu ye ntaka
