@ZANewsFlash Prince Zulu is a well known snake 🐍,the audacity & idea 🤔 that everything the king does must be known by themselves is un thinkable,he wants to render his majesty helpless & hamstrung by holding secretive & sensitive information & later use it against the Zulu Royal
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
@MadiBoity Some DA cabal is power hungry , they can't hide their condescending attitude towards a government led by a black party, while being part of the GNU they still have this narrow & distasteful attitude towards blacks .....
I never thought a day would come when I would need to publicly thank John Steenhuisen for being a patriotic South African.
Some fools, both within the DA and the Freedom Front Plus, wanted him to stand with Trump against his own president in the White House by supporting a genocide lie, but John refused to endorse that lie.
He is now being persecuted by @geordinhl and @TonyLeonSA for taking a principled stand for South Africa.
@niehaus_carl One thing must be absolutely clear we are not advocating for chasing our own brothers & sisters whom their legal status has been confirmed to be legal & above board, SADC and AU must take a firm on illegal immigrants across board
@SihleLonzi It does not take a genius to understand power dynamics at play within the GNU, its in inconceivable he will act within the agreed arrangement of power sharing within the GNU,ANC did not win elections outrightly as expected therefore cannot take key decisions alone ...
This is Jacob Zuma, the former President of South Africa, whose political party, MK, has been encouraging South Africans to chase not only undocumented immigrants out of the country, but even black Africans who are legally living and working in South Africa. His campaign vehicles have been driving around KwaZulu-Natal with loudspeakers urging people to drive black Africans out of the country, regardless of whether they are in South Africa legally or not.
And then, after all of that, he flew to India to meet the Gupta family, the very people accused of helping to orchestrate the industrial-scale corruption that nearly bankrupted South Africa through state capture. When they faced accountability, they ran away from South Africa, first for Dubai and then for India.
Think about the contradiction. A man whose campaign encourages hostility towards fellow Africans is, at the same time, embracing foreign friends who became synonymous with one of the biggest corruption scandals in South African history.
By his own admission in this video, he has made it clear that he is unhappy with the direction the country took in pursuing those implicated in state capture.
Meanwhile, ordinary black South Africans are being mobilised against fellow black Africans who are living in South Africa legally, while the political battle being fought is, in reality, about power, accountability and the legacy of state capture.
They are being drawn into a campaign that serves political interests rather than addressing the country’s real challenges.
History should record this moment. It should record the irony of fellow Africans being turned against one another while those accused of presiding over one of the darkest chapters of corruption in South Africa seek a return to political power. That is a tragedy that future generations should never forget.
Imagine dehumanising fellow black Africans who look like you, speak languages like yours, and share the same continent, all so that Jacob Zuma’s Indian friends can return and loot South Africa again.
