We’ve found another brothel, K20, that’s operated by Chinese nationals. 54 rooms - and the ladies are charged R4000 per month to rent a room. We are currently conducting a by-law enforcement operation in the Pretoria CBD. @CityTshwane
The Education Labour Relations Council’s report has revealed that more than 610,000 pupils are attending schools undocumented. The council’s spokesperson, Bernice Loxton says the problems are largely related to delays in birth registrations and ID document processing.

FOREIGN NATIONALS FUNDED WITHOUT APPROVAL
The investigation showed that seven students who received bursaries from the OTP were foreign nationals, with six of them funded on a merit basis as top achievers. However, the SIU found no approval to deviate from the bursary policy, which specifies that bursaries are for South African citizens residing in the Free State. This resulted in an expenditure of R576 734.48.
Investigations have found undocumented migrants working in municipal outsourcing contracts – including grass cutting, cleaning and security – instead of locals. https://t.co/CCneYEtesJ
Home Affairs has something to hide.
We will call for an investigation into this dual citizenship & naturalisation matter. Members of Parliament & Executive are positions of National Security and South Africans deserve to know if their leaders are serving their interests or those of other countries.
A few nights ago, dear friends and family came together for a surprise dinner in my honour and I looked around at faces from an industry I’ve walked with for over 30 years. 🤍
When President Ramaphosa honoured me with the Order of Ikhamanga, the citation didn’t say it was for being famous, or for being talented. It said it was for selflessly including others in this industry.
That’s the recognition I carry most proudly because the gift was never meant to shine on me, but through me, onto others. To everyone who believed in me, and everyone I’ve had the privilege to believe in: this is ours. 🙏🏾
Thank you @bathu_sa @cartelevents for putting this together. 🤍 #ibelieve
@Bundesliga_EN has a great opportunity to form a good relationship with @OfficialPSL the level of the South African Premier league is at a good stage and ready for partnership and investment from Bundesliga.
I once lived in Mpumalanga, Kinross, Secunda for one year, in 2012. While I was there, I tried to get involved in Community projects. One project was a "Community garden" in a school yard, started by a Primary school teacher, the aim being to teach her learners how to plant and grow vegetables. Later, the kids' parents were invited to get involved in tending the garden, weeding, watering, and then allowed during weekends after doing the work, we would take some spinach, carrots, pumpkins home. This was a way of putting some food on the table and alleviating hunger.
The teacher had sought permission from the school Principal to use the piece of land.
The teacher's husband was a Sasol employee, he held a senior position at Sasol. He was very supportive to his wife, bought water pipes and watering cans, seeds, whatever was needed, he just sponsored the project from their pockets.
There was an informal settlement emerging around the school, so the parents of these kids came from that informal settlement. When I came on board, I saw potential for the mothers who were part of the project to organize themselves into a Cooperative. I wanted them to own the project when I leave, since I wasn't going to be there for long. At the time I still believed in the government promise of supporting Cooperatives. So I thought maybe they could get support from government too.
Sasol, through the teacher's husband, heard about the project and were entertaining the idea of assisting from their CSI with some resources, a possible borehole, and grow the project to a point where they could supply one or two of their kitchens with vegetables. It was early stages, but it had potential.
Then, the Chairperson of the SGB, who happened to also be an ANC Women's league Chair in the area, and a girlfriend of the principal, heard about the Sasol offer. Suddenly there was interest because they thought money was coming. She called me and some of the ladies from the project to talk. In the meeting she suggested to us that she would like to report on this project as an ANC Women's League initiative. I was like what?? 😂 I said no ways, this is a community project, it has nothing to do with any political party or affiliation to anyone.
To cut the long story short, the project was then sabotaged, the teacher was harassed, told to present in every SGB meeting about the "funds received from Sasol". There were no funds. We were called "outsiders" not welcome on the school premises. I used to run at the time, just for exercise. My heart would bleed when I go for my runs, passing the school and seeing those cabbages rotting there. They had no decency to at least let the parents to come and harvest those vegetables.
I left Secunda later that year, only to receive a call that one of the ladies who was in the leadership of the project had died of a heart attack. I couldn't attend the funeral, but I was sad and angry. 😏
@Stellarated I got this letter yet your department still has a surplus of over R400m Mxm . You truly hate us. Also , we requested for proof. Not just a report
