I completely agree with this position! Let the rest of the world unite against Donald J. Trump’s tyranny, fascism and dictatorship! #BoycottFIFAWORLDCUP
@MbalulaFikile please reign in on ANC Joburg. Phela after the conference they simply muted. Worse no communication from them even after yesterday unfortunate event at CBD. We run the risk of a dead ANC in https://t.co/Hnw60H5E6g thing Rasta will be drawing us
We really need to organise a national braai for Dan Corder, this was a generation cooking. Ernst Roets has been mumbling on these shows without any South African to counter his lies, good to see him tossed around
DRIVING LICENSE CARD PRINTING MACHINE FIXED
PRETORIA: The National Department of Transport can confirm that the driving license card printing machine has been fixed and operations have resumed.
The machine had been out of operation since the 5th of February 2025, which has led to a backlog of 747 748 outstanding cards to be printed. The backlog breakdown per provinces as at 02 May 2025 is as follows:
GP 252 745
KZN 115 020
WC 108 402
MP 66 833
LP 61 769
EC 55 393
NW 39 983
FS 33 741
NC 13 862
This means working hours for staff members at the Driving License Card Agency, which is an entity of the Department, will be extended to ensure the reduction of the backlog.
With the current catch-up plan, updates on the backlog reduction will be provided as and when significant progress is made. However, the backlog reduction is also dependent on the number of orders being received on a daily basis.

@DadaMorero@CityPowerJhb@MbalulaFikile@MYANC@CyrilRamaphosa Whats happening with us at kibler park is really unfair. Everyday the is an outage or blackout which takes forever to be fixed. This is really not on. We cannot live like this.
Afriforum is openly calling for partitioning of South Africa. It is high treason.
This racist fool will claim that he resigned from Afriforum but it was a scheme to afford Afriforum plausible deniability.
Approximately 30 employees from the Butchery were found to be illegal immigrants and were arrested. They will be charged for the contravention of the Immigration Act & be detained at JHB Central SAPS.

Reclaiming the City of Joburg from lawlessness.
Hijacking buildings undermines the rule of law and the rights of owners. This unauthorized occupation of property is illegal and harmful.
Informal Traders were removed from a hijacked building at the corners of De Villiers & Noord Street in JHB. The whole building belongs to the Department of Public Works.
Goods were confiscated!!!
