Media will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing. Malcolm X

No one should excuse illegal entry. But exploiting undocumented foreigners as the cause of unemployment is dishonest. The evidence doesn't support that link; it's scapegoating.
Once that talking point dies--because it was a decoy in the first place--who gets scapegoated next? Let's discuss what's actually driving unemployment.
Cool heads are needed here!
Adv. Busisiwe Mkhwebane was suspended by President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2022 while she was investigating Phala Phala, then later removed through a Section 194 process backed by the ANC and DA.
Today, the Constitutional Court has confirmed that Parliament acted unconstitutionally in protecting Ramaphosa over Phala Phala. That judgment will make many South Africans question whether Mkhwebane was punished for asking uncomfortable questions and refusing to protect the powerful.
Whether people agreed with her or not, one thing is clear: the political establishment wanted her out, and now the same Phala Phala matter they buried has returned to haunt them.
People like you don’t actually hate me rather you hate when the status quo script and narrative gets disrupted. The moment someone doesn’t echo the mainstream narrative about Zuma, you label them a praise singer. It’s predictable.
You’re so invested in the dominant storyline that anything outside of it feels like betrayal. If it’s not outright condemnation, then it must be worship, right? That’s sadly such a boxed way of thinking. Politics certainly isn’t religion. You’re allowed to critique where necessary and still acknowledge facts where they stand.
Some of you are mentally locked into defending the status quo narrative at all costs. The second someone offers a balanced or counter view, you go into attack mode instead of engaging the substance. That’s not robust debate because that’s conditioning.
Disagree all you want, but don’t confuse independent thinking with praise singing. We are not all in the payroll of those who are recruited to character assassinate Zuma, nor am i one of those whose livelihood depends to the proximity of the powers that be. My financial stability doesn't depend on being a attack dog of senior politicians, am not captured to fight battles of elders i don't even know when they started and what for.
Mr Ramaphosa has been President for 8 years, Deputy President for 4 years. That’s over 12 years in the highest office in the land.
For him to speak as if the challenges currently faced by the country come before him shows how he undermines the country.
He is powerful, he has used that power to silence his political opponents, suspend & fire heads of institutions that investigate him. He doesnt use his Executive power to address problems faced by the people!
Former Gauteng Hawks Head, General Prince Mokotedi says Paul O'Sullivan is The President's Keepers' ghost writer
Jacques Pauw took R25m proceeds, without sharing with Paul O'Sullivan, George the man who supplied information & others.
George was killed after he said he wanted to come clean.

Mike Brown was Nedbank CEO at the time Nedbank looted R12bn from Transnet + R120m in transaction fees with Regiments Capital. He did this while earning R280k per day and a R53m bonus. No Media coverage because it is Private Sector Corruption.
@AnnieBookWorm@Qhawe___L@JojoNqandela You're aren't even ashamed to write this crap when you and your forebears benefited from race based policies that meant to discriminate against African people. Economic racism continues post 1994. Nothing changed.
They hate President Zuma because he loves black people that much. See they paid legal fees of those who killed us for fighting for freedom. This country is ruled by Satanists!
Zuma got Transnet from Mbeki with 73.7Mt Freight Volume in 2009 increased it by almost 200% to 218Mt in 2017.
Got Denel from Mbeki with R4.3bn Loss ('03 - '08) and left it with a R1.42bn Profit in 2017.
Hate the man but don't distort facts to lie.

By the way Government bailout
Edcon - R2.7bn
Woolworths - R5.4bn
Nedbank - R8.5bn
ArcelorMittal - R2.5bn
Despite R2.7bn bailout, Edcon retrenched 10k employees. ArcelorMittal with R2.5bn ended 100k jobs.
There's a hullabaloo when Eskom gets R64bn bailout and makes R24bn profit
UCT Prof Anton Eberhard is angry that Eskom made a R24bn profit for the first time since 2017. He spins it to the R64bn bailout received by Eskom. Yet when Eskom posted R60bn losses under Andre de Ruyter with R158.6bn bailouts, He called him a genius who's "turning Eskom around"
Drawing from my experience as a former investigation officer and a shop steward for 12 years, I can attest that Lieutenant General Mkhwanazi presented substantial evidence during his testimony, despite facing the challenge of satisfying both the commissioners and the public. He skillfully navigated this difficult situation without compromising ongoing investigations or matters before the court.
It is unlikely that a journalist, reliant on stolen documents and self-proclaimed as "investigative", would be satisfied. Their dissatisfaction stems from not possessing the same evidence General Mkhwanazi presented to the commission. These journalists are accustomed to politicians leaking information and mistakenly expected Mkhwanazi and his team to do the same.
The concerted effort to discredit Lt-General Mkhwanazi by casting aspersions and poking holes in testimony given under oath, backed by receipts that must (and will) be tested, is not only relentless but deeply infuriating.
It is, quite frankly, an insult to our collective intelligence, especially considering the General’s own remarks about how media houses exploit clickbait, leading people to accept headlines as truth and fact.
One cannot help but ask: whose interests does this serve?
A senior politician called a press conference,complained about corruption& asked the nation to connect the dots &the nation did & was up in arms.
A decorated, career policeman does the same,asks his country to connect the dots &those who claim to be against corruption attack him
Loadshedding from around 2021 was caused by the false belief that @Eskom_SA coal generation can be quickly replaced by solar & wind. This false belief was generally propagated by European sponsored ‘energy expert’ to imitate what was happening in Europe.
It’s clear now that the perceived ‘success’ of European Energy Transition was false. The reality is that the accelerated transition is causing high energy prices, deindustrialisation and diminished energy security
@MbalulaFikile He's completing what he started. Kill the ANC at all cost. President JG Zuma was right about the plan to divide the black vote. Worse, you guys are now praise singers of racist DA. You have no shame.
