The most expensive thing about a R350 000 car isn't the R350 000.
Finance it the way most South Africans do and the real cost is closer to R1 million.
Nobody at the dealership will do this maths with you, so let's do it now 🧵
DURING A SALARY INTERVIEW:
"Your Current Salary is 50,000. Why Are You Requesting 80,000?"
Most people say something like: "That is the current market rate."
WINNING ANSWER:
"The GNU government wants to sell Eskom. They want to put Eskom in the market, and they think we don't know that. They are collaborating with the IMF. That will never happen as long as we are alive in South Africa," SACP General Secretary Solly Mapaila.
A video of ANC MPs voting against the Phala Phala report. Only former minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma stood on principle and voted for the report, and history has vindicated her.
Today, the Constitutional Court set their votes aside and declared them unconstitutional.

SWORN STATEMENT BY SINDISO MAGAQA HITMAN MR SIBUSISO NCENGWA [CASE NO: CC35/2019]: PART ONE
Dated at Pietermaritzburg on the 6th of June 2025.
The sworn affidavit reads as follows;
“I confirm that I am the accused herein and that I know and understand the charges preferred against me, which are appearing on the indictment. My legal representative has explained to me the consequences of making this statement and I fully understand it.
I admit that I freely and voluntary made this statement, whilst in my sound and sober self and without having been influenced thereto by anyone and has at all relevant times been assisted by my legal representative.
I confirm that the prosecution has evidence to prosecute in the said offences.
The facts on which I plead guilty are the following:
Sometime around 11th July 2017, I received a call from Sbonelo Myeza while I was at Berea Centre in Durban, and he requested to meet with me downstairs of my flat. I found him standing with Jabulani Mdunge.
I then met with them and Sbonelo Myeza indicated that there is a job that we need to do in Umzimkhulu. I asked what kind of job that we need to do. The answer was that there is a person in Mzimkhulu municipality who wanted to report other people about corruption at the said Municipality. He did not mention the name of the person. He indicated that there are other people that we need to meet before we do the job.
The following day, we met at Berea Centre again. In this meeting, the following people were present including myself, Jabulani Mdunge, Sbonelo Myeza, Lindokuhle Nkosi, Mlungisi Ncalane and Mbulelo Mpofana.
In this meeting, Mbulelo Mpofana explained to us that he was also sent by 2 other people, for requesting assistance from us. I asked him to give us names of those people. He told us that they were the City Manager of the Municipality – Mr Skosana and the City Mayor- Mr Ndobe. The assistance they wanted was for us to go and kill the said person who wanted to report corruption which will implicate them.
Then we started to discuss the issue of payment, which was R120 000.00, only after we have done the job. Further that after that there will be a tender that we may get. I said to them that I am not familiar with the tender business and Mr Mpofana indicated that he will help me on how to apply for a tender. That tender will pay us R1 million.
The following day, which was on the 12 July 2017, I together with Jabulani Mdunge and Mlungisi Ncalani who was driving a Mercedes Benz drove to Umzimkhulu. There was also a BMW, red in colour, which passengers were Lindokuhle Nkosi and Sbonelo Myeza following us to Umzimkhulu.
Upon our arrival at Mzimkhulu, Mlu Ncalani, Sbo Myeza and Lindo Nkosi who were familiar with the area showed us the area and most importantly the home of the deceased Sindiso Magaqa). We were already given his photo to identify him.
The Mercedes Benz was parked near the home of the deceased and me, Mlu Ncalani and Jabu Mdunge were also near the deceased home.
The other vehicle was parked near the car wash area and Lindo Nkosi with Sbo Myeza were also there. They were looking after him so when he entered or passing the car wash, they can see him and tell us.
On this first day, while we were waiting for the deceased, his car emerged, and it was followed by a vehicle of Police officials. Then we left back to Durban without doing our instructed job. At this point we noted his car and the registration number.”
