Perhaps she and the chief should read 'The Surplus People' vol. 5 repirt to understand they are repeating apartheid history in Bushbuckridge!

[Richard Spoor @Richard_Spoor]

A politically connected developer is building another shopping mall in Marite near Bushbuckridge. She needs to move a whole bunch of people who have lived there forever to clear the land she needs. She hired the local chief to do the removals.

next 'big alcohol ' will want seats inside policy making sittings just as they've done in UK. The Alcohol Industry undermines & delays improved regulation. Conflict of Interest? @ParliamentofRSA @ANCParliament @Saapa7 @profparry @ThokoDidiza @MYANC @The_DSD

[Charles Parry @profparry]

No company makes a "donation" of this maginitude without expecting something in return. Keep digging @IOL, we need to know who the anonymous benefactor to @sona2025 @ParliamentofRSA is /benefactors are. This is a story worth following @mailandguardian @Bhekisisa_MG @BigAexposed

[Charles Parry @profparry]

There is an obvious conflict of interest with @ParliamentofRSA accepting free alcohol at #Sona2025. 👏 👏 @EFF and @A_C_D_P for calling this out. We need to know who is making the donation & who approved it. It should be rejected ASAP. @IOL @MRCza @Saapa7 https://t.co/ojjpxHFVKM

[laurine platzky @LPlatzky]

sounds like a conflict of interest?? @Saapa7 @profparry

https://t.co/FddmycgRVw liquor industry once again exploiting 1956 Women's anti-apartheid march to sell alcohol, like 'Pens Down' E Cape parties resulting in #Enyobeni 21 underage deaths in 2022. Protect don't exploit women & youth, @Saapa7 @_WCLA @HealthZA @The_DSD

Another airport for Cape Town as long distance travel starting to decline amongst climate change concerned tourists? Responsible? sustainable? more precious land 'developed' as our unique biodiversity is threatened? only short term profits benefit a few. Let's think again!

[Jodi Allemeier 🌇 @urbanjodi]

CWA will “pull” development out of the “urban inner core” - a concept in the CCTs spatial development framework. Has this been adopted as policy?

If you're voting in the Western Cape you can vote for both @Zackie2024 & @Rise_Mzansi You have 1 regional &1 national vote for national parliament. Good for ethical action AND social democracy #FixTheState #RebuildSouthAfrica

[Cedric De Beer @CedricDeBeer1]

I dont disagree, and I would not discourage anyone from voting for him.

[laurine platzky @LPlatzky]

We desperately need an experienced, ethical & and progressive voice in parliament untainted by funding agendas, settling political scores & populism. @Zackie2024 in WCape regional vote will help #fixthestate

[Shareen Singh @ShareenSingh8]

I am not campaigning for any political party but voluntarily campaigning for independent candidate Zackie Achmat on the regional ballot. I cannot vote for him because I do not live in the Western Cape. He will need 80,000 votes for a seat in parliament.

[Shareen Singh @ShareenSingh8]

If you live in the Western Cape - listen till the end. We need Zackie Achmat in Parliament - he will need 80,000 votes. He will be on the regional ballot.

Hamba Kahle #EddieWebster, who taught us students so much in the 70s & 80s, not least to think critically & debate vigorously, both qualities our young democracy could now benefit in abundance. RIP Eddie, what an honour to defend you all those years ago.

[Neil Coleman @NeilColemanSA]

Shocked by the passing today of Eddie Webster, intellectual giant and friend of workers.
Involved in the re- emergence of the black union movement, he inspired many of us to a life of activism in the labour movement. A great thinker & inspiring person. Hamba Kahle Eddie.

disgraceful! when is the inquest?

[Bingz @Luveni2020]

@News24 21 kids died and the punishment is 5k qha. This is ridiculous shame. What justice is this

[laurine platzky @LPlatzky]

wow! and who sold alcohol to those kids who died? @ECLiquorBoard @The_DSD @the_dtic @SHAAPAlcohol @EnyobeniTavern @Saapa7 @profparry

"I would apologize if the condition were different. I cannot be remorseful to people who harass me wherever I go. I cannot allow that. These people are blaming me for the death of their children because of influence." Enyobeni Tavern owners Siyakhangela Ndevu

[laurine platzky @LPlatzky]

tap on the wrist is totally inappropriate when 21 youngsters died. how does this sentence send a serious message to all those who put profit before people?

[Newzroom Afrika @Newzroom405]

[BREAKING] Magistrate Kevin Von Bratt has fined #Enyobeni tavern owners R5000 each or alternatively spend 100 days in prison. "Let me say that the extreme punishment on first offenders will be impossible. A fine will be appropriate." #Newzroom405
