⚖️ | That deceased man was really creating his own parallel government.
Which is treason by the way. 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 where the constitution of that country is undermined and citizens rights violated extremely. Just like he created an unconstitutional spy unit at SARS to torture SARS employees and public officials.
Anyone who challenged him for misconduct was targeted, removed or arrested.
He should have been charged and prosecuted but he was more in charge of the country than anyone else.
Today the criminal justice system has collapsed because instead of following the law, many people were abused and tortured.

South Africa has gone from Tony Gupta to Tony Leon.
According to the World Bank “State capture” is a type of systemic political corruption in which private interests influence a state’s decision-making processes to their own advantage.
Now, former DA leader Tony Leon and his PR firm, Resolve Communications have allegedly used his ties to the DA to lobby for private clients, and has been doing this for at least a decade now where the DA governs and now in the government ministries under Democratic Alliance members.
Leon and his supporters say this is actually normal behaviour which they call “lobbying”.
Many will recall how South Africa had a 4-year long commission of inquiry into allegations of such “lobbying”, which was and is still presented as the largest corruption scandal in the history of South Africa. (See Gupta family).
Now that the “lobbying” is being done by the corner leader of the vanguards of clean governance and the fight against corruption, a whole gaggle of experts are coming out of the woodwork to explain to the public that this kind of thing is actually quite common ... in the United States of America.
According to the experts, the US does this sort of thing far more efficiently because it has rules and regulations governing it, while South Africa doesn’t.
To be clear, they’re saying there’s actually nothing really wrong with this Gupta-style of handling business, because South Africa has no regulations around it.
Apparently, “There is no equivalent national lobbying register here. No routine disclosure of lobbyist clients. No standard publication of lobbying meetings with ministers. No easy way to see who is trying to shape policy from behind the curtain”, according to /explain/ dot co za.
For his part, Tony Leon says there’s nothing unethical and certainly nothing unlawful about anything he has done. Using big words, the former DA leader was quoted saying, “What the Guptas and Bell Pottinger did was to poison our democracy, plunder the state, undermine public institutions, and corrupt outcomes. To even suggest that any work we did is comparable to that is an Alice in Wonderland world of insane twisting and lies. It’s comparing a daisy to an oleander”.
I had to go and Google what an “oleander” is.
NEWS: Two suspects who were planning to kill an employee of the Department of Human Settlements in Gauteng have been arrested.
One of the suspects is an Admin Clerk in the Department.

H.E. Dr.Chihombori,
Please allow me to clarify a mischaracterisation in your recent remarks as per the clip below.
South Africa is not doing what you allege or imply.
This is what is actually happening in South Africa without delving into the merits or demerits.
1. The civil movement marches are directed at illegal and undocumented foreign nationals, not at foreigners as a category.
2. There is no blanket or indiscriminate expulsion of foreigners. Those with legitimate documentation remain welcome and protected.
3. The South African Government is conducting a repatriation exercise for those voluntarily returning to their home countries, alongside deportation of those in the country illegally.
4. No South African anywhere in the world, least of all our business people, operates without proper documentation in their host country. The same standard applies here.
5. In sum, South Africa, through both government and civil society, is simply enforcing the Immigration Act, legislation the Government itself has for years failed to implement consistently.
This is a matter of law and sovereignty, not xenophobia/afrophobia. Conflating lawful enforcement of immigration legislation with hostility toward Africans or Pan-Africanism does a disservice to the very principles of Pan-African solidarity, which have never required any state to abandon its right to regulate its borders.
We depend on Honourable and respectable people like yourselves to put matters in their proper perspective to avoid uncalled for animosity in our Continent.
I submit
Magogoe Tshepang village residents, near Mahikeng, North West, are demanding that Home Affairs and the local municipality enforce immigration laws. Today, they staged a march following the arrest of an Ethiopian national in connection with the fatal stabbing of a 26-year-old man. @RefiloeSeboko reports.

Tomorrow will be exactly 6 months since America kidnapped him and his wife in their residence. An entire Head of State is kidnapped and taken away from his country - that's a terrorist attack. Yet no global organization nor other Heads of State around the world are saying anything? Or condemning such an action?
Last week, Venezuela was hit by a massive earthquake killing and injuring so many people in country. They couldn't even let Maduro send condolences or words of comfort to his own people? The US is cruel. Horrible.
UPDATE: ActionSA in Johannesburg has opened a hotline where South Africans can report an RDP that is unlawfully occupied by a foreign national - KZN Tonight Podcast
UPDATE: The uncompromising Gauteng Department of Education is carrying on with its directive that all parents of foreign learners enrolled in public schools should produce papers showing that they are in South Africa legally.
Even though schools are currently closed, the parents were told to submit the documentation to admin clerks who are always in schools working between Monday and Friday.
The move comes after it was found that most foreign nationals registered their kids without full documents.
One school in the Germiston area was found suffocsted by 300 foreign learners with no proper documents - KZN Tonight Podcast
Medicine disappears. Patients suffer. MPs ask questions. Minister of @HealthZA disappears too.
South Africans stand in long queues only to be told that medication is out of stock. Hospitals struggle with shortages. Clinics are under pressure.
We are not seeking for Neurosurgery! Sicela izimpendulo Minister!

UPDATE: Nkosikhona Phakelumthakathi Ndabandaba also announced that they would soon compile a list of corrupt police officers who are involved in the drug trade in Richards Bay, Stanger, Durban and other areas.
The list would be handed over to Lt General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and KwaZulu-Natal Premier Thamsanqa Ntuli for action.
This is one of their moves post the June 30 protests - KZN Tonight Podcast
Just to clear deliberate confusion and obfuscation by some.
South Africans living abroad know a simple reality: if you are in another country without lawful status or the required documentation, you are liable to deportation.
That is how sovereign states operate, including South Africa.
The same principle should apply within South Africa. This is not about nationality, race, ethnicity, xenophobia or afrophobia.
It is about the rule of law. In South Africa there's a Constitution and rule of law. Akukho vula zibhuqe.
A state cannot effectively police crime, administer justice, plan public services or protect its citizens if it does not know who is within its borders.
Documentation enables identification, accountability and due process. Without it, law enforcement is more difficult.
I don’t know if Palantir does any government work; please keep an eye out. I doubt it, though. Hope not. It has to be one of the most evil tech giants out there. Our data sovereignty must never be compromised & sold off to Palantir and the data oligarchy.
So. We have confirmation that Starlink is a client of Resolve. This means that the former Leader of the DA, facilitated a meeting with a prospective “tender” applicant which resulted in the Minister beginning changing rules to fit the requirements of said “bidder.”
That, my dears is corruption.
