Dear South Africa,
Today, I officially present “11 Theses on the Call for Batho Pele Convention: Siyazenzela”.
This is not a Think-Tank, Advocacy Group or Civil Rights Organisation. Batho Pele Convention is a call for a permanent, self-sufficient, non-partisan, grassroots social movement to respond to the Great State Paralysis here & now!

If you do not resist injustice when you have the power and opportunity to do so, you are not only letting yourself down - you are also unleashing the beast of injustice on others who may have less capacity to resist #DailyThought💡#Padkos4Life🦋
President @CyrilRamaphosa arrives for the launch of Phase 3 of the Government-Business Partnership.
The launch brings Government and business together to advance the next phase of economic reforms, strengthen investment and accelerate growth and job creation.
Phase 3 will build on the progress achieved through the Partnership, with a focus on scaling interventions across key sectors and driving reforms that support South Africa’s growth ambition of more than 3% and one million jobs by 2030.

Dr. Mmusi Maimane, MP, highlights that South Africans living with disabilities face barriers to voting that go beyond physical infrastructure, including access to proper assistance during elections.
Accessible elections require more than just ramps and physical infrastructure; they demand comprehensive assistance for citizens living with physical, visual, and intellectual disabilities.

‼️Media Statement‼️ Time to come clean.
“If President Ramaphosa maintains his innocence, then the appropriate course of action is clear.
He must subject himself fully to Parliament's impeachment committee and allow the process to reach its conclusion without unnecessary obstruction or prolonged legal diversion.”
I asked the minister of higher education a very important question and the answer is shocking. Truly shocking.
Our Technical Vocational Training Colleges have a dismal throughput rate of 13.9%.
We simply cannot achieve our economic and development goals at this rate.
Ukraine always expresses its gratitude and always remembers clearly who supported us and how after this war began. But it is equally important, especially for Europe, that all partners remember that Ukraine is defending not only itself in this war. Russia wants our territory so that it can capture the territories of others. If it succeeds with one country – one neighbor – it will do the same with others.

[Watch🎥] A message from BOSA Leader Dr @MmusiMaimane this Freedom Day. A reminder that we can triumph over evil despite all the odds stacked against us. In the words of Coretta Scott King, Freedom is never won, it aught to be fought for by every generation.

Nelson Mandela cast his vote in the first South African elections without racial discrimination #OTD in 1994. It was the first time Mandela had voted in his life, as under apartheid Black South Africans had no voting rights. Mandela received the 1993 peace prize.
Today is Freedom Day. This freedom includes a 31% unemployment rate (top 3 in the world), 55% of our people live in poverty, 80%+ of our Grade 4 learners can’t read to understand, and this after 30 years of democratic fruits? South Africa is the most unequal country on earth.
