What squirrel really means,
“Dear Fellow South African,
As we mark 30 years since the adoption of our Constitution, we can indeed reflect on the political culture that has been built in South Africa.
A culture where corruption has become normalized.
A culture where cadres loot while millions live without dignity.
A culture where rolling blackouts, collapsing infrastructure, violent crime, unemployment, and institutional decay are treated as acceptable collateral.
We can reflect on Phala Phala.
On millions of undeclared dollars hidden in couches.
On theft concealed instead of transparently reported.
On endless explanations that insult the intelligence of ordinary South Africans.
We can reflect on a government where politicians enrich themselves while citizens barricade their homes, avoid walking at night, and watch roads, rail, policing, healthcare, and municipalities collapse around them.
We can reflect on the farce of being told we live in a “robust democracy” while corruption inquiries come and go with little accountability and almost no meaningful consequences for the politically connected.
We can reflect on a political culture where:
• the connected get richer,
• the poor get poorer,
• criminals operate freely,
• race is weaponized for political survival,
• and accountability remains selective.
South Africans are not angry because they hate democracy.
They are angry because they were promised one thing and delivered another.
The Constitution was supposed to protect the people from the state.
Instead, many feel abandoned by the very institutions meant to serve them.
The greatest threat to South Africa is no longer apartheid.
It is corruption, incompetence, lawlessness, and the systematic erosion of trust under ANC governance.
That is the real legacy many South Africans are living with today.”
Well done squirrel @CyrilRamaphosa
@MbalulaFikile The ANC says it wants a non-racial society, yet it still describes South Africa through a doctrine of permanent racial contradiction and collective white ideological guilt. That is not reconciliation. It is revolutionary race politics dressed up as liberation.
@elonmusk PTA boy here, apprichate the pressure you are putting on SA. We need more. But when are we going to get a engineering cli with sub to grok? 🙏
@europa SANRAL’s draft policy looks like mission creep on steroids: control over roadside businesses, transformation conditions beyond normal contracting, and turnover-linked levies. That is not road management; it is state overreach into private enterprise.
