James Baldwin: "What white people have to do is try to find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a 'nigger' in the first place, because I'm not a nigger, I'm a man. But if you think I'm a nigger, it means you need him...and you've got to find out why"
Raila Odinga was like the elephant in a dark room.Each of us touched a part of him;a leg and thought him a tree, a side and thought him a wall, a trunk and thought him a hose, a tail and thought him a whip.Only now, with the light on, and him resting with the ancestors do we see the enormity of who he was — good, flawed, immense, divisive and deliberative. An indelible part of 🇰🇪 journey.
Greta Thunberg, newly released from Israeli detention where she says she was beaten and forced to kiss the Israeli flag, delivers her first statement: this isn’t about us — the real story is Gaza.

@SADHomeAffairs Open letter to the Minister:
It took a week to speak to someone at the call centre number and the number on the Application for waiver letter. When someone answered today I had to hold for 30 mins while they “checked”, and then dropped the phone on me. 😢

[President @CyrilRamaphosa's Christmas Wishlist] It has been such a tough year for many people. Many had no means of putting food on the table. No one can survive on a R370 grant, but it continues to make a difference. Minister Godongwana and President Cyril Ramaphosa, so many families across Mzansi will have no food during Christmas. Prioritise grants and fix the R350, increase it beyond March 2025 and turn it into a Basic Income Grant (BIG)
Tax the rich—Introduce a net wealth tax and increase the tax on those earning more than R1 million. Spread some Christmas joy and give pensioners a 13th cheque, which they have asked for time and time again. Increase tax on sugary drinks, tobacco, e-cigarettes, and alcohol.
People are counting on you. Show leadership

[Premier Panyaza @Lesufi's Christmas Wishlist] In 2024, together, we presented our different campaign demands to Parliamentary Committees. One of the presentations was at the Gauteng Provincial Legislature, where we called on them to ensure that the Gauteng Department of Social Development releases payments for all NPOs, to also answer the Gauteng Youth Brigades on the Nasi Spani program and other campaign demands.
In 2025, we will continue to engage with relevant committees to push progressive policies forward.
People are counting on you, Premier Panyaza. Show leadership!

In 2024, together, we continued to call on Minister Godonongwana and his Deputies to increase and expand the sugary drinks tax. With the moratorium set to be lifted in the coming year, we will continue to increase the pressure.
