[DA Western Cape @WesternCapeDA]

👀 Gayton McKenzie's department spent R31 million on a FIFA World Cup trip.

The DA-led City of Cape Town invested the same amount in sports infrastructure in Atlantis.

Priorities matter. Choose a party that works for you 💙

@RyanCoetzee @JacquesMaree73 @PieterDuToit Makin' absolutely no sense at all.

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

@SABCNews @Chrispin_JPhiri Actually, it's mainly your President's job to decide if he wants the DA in his government. And he keeps on saying he does!

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

@RyanCoetzee @richardcalland Play the ball.

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

Haven't heard David Mahlobo's name pop up so much since the Zondo Report.

@MyLeaderNicole @Lesufi "The same inconveniences of any other person" 🤣🤣

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

@Bruceps @JamesRLorimer @Our_DA Non racialism isn't backward looking but must be the progressive endgoal. All DA policy sees past injustice, and the damage in other societies divided on race. Never again. Focus on those who need empowering, not already empowered. This targets 'black' people in need. Not elites.

@Werries_ You are not allowed to bowl from mid-on.

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

@AfricaCheck What? It was a general remark on maintenance (new question). Why would you weave in your view, based on some topic several minutes earlier, position as a quote, then 'fact-check' it on the new words you inserted? Suggests bad intent.

As for clarity, why not just refer to above?

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

@AfricaCheck Why would you add those words in parenthesis, which Zille did not say, and use them to 'prove' her claim false?

Really bad faith! Completely discredits you. Now, we must go around fact-checking the fact-checkers.

What Zille said comes straight out of the AG report, see pg 108.

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

@geordinhl @AndrewsEddie bit slow off your marks.

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

Lots calling the DA weak for letting itself be abused, and de-escalating conflicts.

The alternative is far worse.

I think it is the greatest show of strength to put national interests above party interests. To be calm in the face of crisis.

I don't see anybody else doing that.

When you win the toss on a cold, damp morning at Headingley and decide to have a bowl.

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

@GaytonMcK @Action4SA @BuildOneSA @Our_DA I think most people who read this will feel that these are entirely reasonable proposals.

[Ryan Coetzee @RyanCoetzee]

The UK treasury can cut £14 billion in one fiscal event but SA’s treasury says it’s all very complicated and will take a long time.

@RonakGopaldas It's designed to stop your fans from escaping at half time.

[Emma Louise Powell MP @powellemmaloui1]

Stand up to tyranny! Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 @ZelenskyyUa

@GvanOnselen Also, Trump, the free speech champion: I let Russian state media, and MTG's boyfriend in to cover the proceedings. But AP and Reuters are banned for misnaming my Gulf.

[Mike Law @MikeLaw111]

@spectatorindex No shit.
