A father critically assesses a daughter's boyfriend

A mother critically assesses a sons girlfriend

Listen to what they say

They have a good way of de-pedestalizing that person you've put on a pedestal

Its out of good faith and for your benefit #Moms #dads

Let’s just take line 1: Cost of a return flight ticket is R50,000. That is R700,000 for 14 people. So you spent another R7,1 million on “travel related expenses”. Thats another half a million per person on top of flight tickets (excluding the R3,3M spent on “suites”)

With 500K you can live in a hotel in Mexico City for 4 months (at World Cup rates).

You should be fired you fucking thief.

[Bronx @Bronx_wrangler]

This guy needs to get fired. 18 people (including him) and a bill of R31 million.

Circa R1,7 million per person.

That’s OUR tax money spent on damn parties and watching soccer.

[🇿🇦 BUZZ 🇿🇦🫶👏 @dgtager]

If the Treasury authorized and allowed Gayton to spend R31 million on a frivolous FIFA soccer trip, then the Minister of Finance needs to be censured & along with Gayton, removed from office.

Hey @sarstax you’re now investigating peoples vacations while your system is trash. Maybe you should be investigating corruption. You’re revealing yourself.

If South Africans do not mobilise and organise some form of tax boycott, then the ever-increasing financial subjucation of the citizens will be allowed to continue unabated.

South Africa has one of the highest tax burdens in the world relative to its economic development level, with a total tax-to-GDP ratio sitting at nearly 30%.

This places South Africa far above the global average tax-to-GDP ratio of roughly 15%, making its extraction rate comparable to advanced, high-income Nordic economies rather than developing peers.

However, unlike those advanced nations, South Africans experience a profound "tax-to-benefit" mismatch, where the return on tax paid is severely undermined by state corruption, incompetence and inefficiencies - thereby necessitating double-payments for basic services.

@sarstax is the enemy.

Time to say #NoToTax.

[Wayne Duvenage @wayneduv]

Very weak PR from these buffoons at @MyJRA. Photographing yourselves fixing the odd pothole, when you are behind with over 3,000 km of road resurfacing, more that 200 bridges that need significant repairs. Not to mention faded road markings and hundreds of faulty traffic lights. Wake up and do your job.

[TOUCHLINE @TouchlineTruth]

Toll Gates. Paying to use the roads that I already pay for through taxes.

[Simon Sithole @Simon_Sithole20]

South Africans🇿🇦 need to free themselves from the exploitation all in the name of TAX!!

We need answers why we are being taxed so much

Zille restores power to Fairland residents after 5months on a mobile generator.

For 5 months, at R22 000 a day. Fairland folks were getting power from a mobile generator burning diesel, when their minisub exploded and JHB Power couldn't "find" a new one.

Enter Zille effect.

Within one day of visiting the area and exposing the endlessly running generator, @helenzille called out Joburg Power, and guess what? They suddenly found a mini-sub.

It is unthinkable that this level of incompetence and ineptitude continues to characterize Joburg but it does. Every day.

And Zille is the only person taking it seriously, locking in and actually delivering to residents.

[Corruption-Hater 🦅🇿🇦🦁 @MadiBoity]

My people, we need to go out in numbers and vote these fools out. We are becoming a laughing as black people to led by such fools. Nie maan!

[Mufasa007 @Mufasa0062]

The irony. An ANC poster asking for votes stands next to a broken robot that has been left not repaired.

[Vusi Sambo @VusiSambo]

ANC celebrity, Fikile Mbalula is hereby rubbishing our dismay & public outrage over the appointment of known & certified ANC rogue, Cde Dina Pule as Minister of Socalial Grants & Such.
He says Cde Dina was a thug more than 10 years ago, but she is no longer a thug. He emphasises that her comeback isn’t a middle finger at us, it’s simply a redemption.
Visibly animated, he further argues rhetorically that if convicted armed robber Gayton McKenzie is fit & proper for a GNU ministerial gig, why is Cde Dina being vilified.

He also mumbles something unintelligible about ANC renewal.

[Vusi Sambo @VusiSambo]

In South Africa 🇿🇦, embezzlement of more than $369,000 (~R6 million) through nepotistic schemes is rewarded with an appointment as a Minister in President Cyril Ramaphosa’s bloated cabinet. The granny below is the latest recipient of this merit appointment process.

You also stand a good chance if you come with a verifiable & valid criminal conviction. President Ramaphosa literally melts on the spot.

[John @pataderp]

Happy to be wrong here, but if we look at ZAR:L Brent crude, and track it against fuel price, we are getting royally fucked.

Diesel is around R25/L, but when oil was the same price previously we were at R18/L.

@DMPR_ZA, can you explain?

[Tshepo Malaka @tshepo_malaka]

@sizwefaithsitho The other aspect that is harrowing is the number of municipalities that received qualified audits … I think the number is 218/257 municipalities… only 39 received clean audits - with all due respect that is an A+ in failure 😞 💔 https://t.co/Umi0s9JvY0

[Dr_Sizwe_Faith_Sithole @sizwefaithsitho]

South Africans, at what point do we admit that we have normalised failure?

How do we accept a system where citizens can lose up to 41% of their salaries to tax, yet corruption continues to thrive, rural roads remain undrivable, municipalities collapse, and local councillors operate with little to no accountability?

Taxation without visible service delivery is not governance; it is betrayal.

This country does not lack money. It lacks ethical leadership, consequence management, and political will. We cannot keep comparing ourselves to countries like Qatar and pretending the difference is luck. The difference is leadership, planning, discipline and accountability.

South Africa deserves a government that respects every rand taken from its people. The amount of tax we are paying is just insane😭💔

[Rob Moore @robprogressive]

Capital gains taxes make no sense & shouldn't exist

I invest my capital. I create the opportunity. I take the risk. I do the work. I take the chances. I accept the losses if things go wrong

So why should the government collect a slice when things go right?

They didn’t take the risk. They didn’t build the business. They just take
