Truth matters. Efficiency matters.
We may be doomed in South Africa.

This week, President Ramaphosa has once again promised that high-speed rail is coming to South Africa.

Meanwhile, the normal speed rail:

@LadyM1306 Really?.

There’s a woman on TikTok named Olive. She shows South Africans how to cook affordable meals to help them get through the month. She also uses donations and her own money to feed the poor. Hundreds, maybe thousands every month.

Your president just burned R7 million on a spectacle. Bloated politicians in designer outfits worth more than your annual salary. A red carpet parade funded by the same taxpayers who can’t afford school fees or new clothes for their children.

You stretch every cent, while they sip champagne and lecture you about progress.

They tell you the country has turned a corner while your budget says otherwise. They tell you the economy is recovering while you cut back on groceries. They tell you to stop believing your lying eyes, ears and bank balance.

1 woman feeds the hungry with almost nothing. The state feasts on trillions and demands applause for failure.

You think you hate politicians enough, but trust me, you don’t.

Water is becoming so scarce in parts of Johannesburg, South Africa - that residents are showering in the rain. Again.. you are living in the decline.. it is what it is.

Panyaza's hotel foot-in-mouth episode, followed by the garish display of wealth at SONA, is impeccable timing, I must say.

Bernice needs to be investigated for corruption. Hand sewn pearls.... At least R150k for this hideous outfit.

🇿🇦The current situation in Johannesburg, Gauteng. The economic hub of South Africa, the largest industrial city in Africa... It is not only the largest city in Africa but also one of the largest urban agglomerations in the world. Johannesburg generates 16 percent of South Africa's GDP and employs 12 percent of the national workforce, making it the most powerful commercial centre on the African continent.

HOWEVER...
The city led by the ANC Mayor Dada Morero cannot provide basic services and water and the city has now begun deteriorating to the levels of a backward country (oh wait - we are that now thanks to our overall "leadership") - only the work of the people of Johannesburg has allowed it to survive this long and prevent it from ultimately collapsing....

Do also note, the current status quo, is the elected choice of the many people who are now in dire poverty, perhaps a good lesson, or not?
Different, better choices need to be made by all.

[FINAL BLOW] The ANC can kiss Gauteng goodbye.🤞

This is thanks to Panyaza Lesufi & Gauteng Health MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko, who said some patients prefer to lie on the floor instead of using hospital beds.

NONSENSE! 🤮

You can’t make this stuff up!

Not quite the hotel, but, since this is the only water we have in Melville, remember, #DayZero with @JHBWater and @DadaMorero - Residents showering in the rain! @helenzille @ewnupdates @IOL @NewsNMT @News24 @SABCNews @carteblanchetv @Newzroom405

Cyril Ramaphosa went to
Play Golf, Panyaza Lesufi booked him in a hotel and Fikile Mbalula is on holiday in the states, while South Africans are without water. Yes these are the People you’ve elected.

Translation: I was caught out in forming a fly by night police force that operates outside the bounds of the law. I will now remove them.
