Western Cape Property Development Forum

WCPDF exists to create awareness and address issues that impede the property development industry. We engage with politicians and government representatives.

[Democratic Alliance @Our_DA]

🚨 IMPORTANT: The DA can confirm reports that lawyers acting for the Minister of Finance have approached our lawyers proposing an out-of-court settlement, in the matter the DA brought to interdict the VAT increase scheduled for May 1.

The DA is awaiting a formal written settlement offer before responding to the Minister’s request. We will update the public of developments in due course.

We can also confirm that a DA delegation is due to meet a high-level ANC delegation tomorrow, at which these discussions will be taken further.

The EFF provides farce, not politics. It sells newspapers but it is not the agenda. The agenda is the economy. The EFF is only capable of ruining that.

[Simon Grindrod @SimonPGrindrod]

Like it or not, the ANC and DA need to reflect on how a party like the EFF with only 10.7% of the vote is dominating the national agenda recently. #EFF #ANC #DA

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. -Arthur Schopenhauer

@Sikelela_D It's sad that South African voters did not support our campaign to "Stop Zuma" in sufficient numbers to prevent the lost decade.

[Western Cape Property Development Forum @WCPDFconference]

You don’t. Businesses are not there to provide employment. Employment is a serendipitous byproduct of business. Choosing employees using any other criterion than ability is is foolish. We need to build an economy, a society will take care of itself.

[Herman Mashaba @HermanMashaba]

South Africans need jobs but businesses prefer to hire foreigners! How do we build a society that puts South Africans first? #SASpeaks

[Helen Zille @helenzille]

I'm quite gobsmacked at this article. The only people blowing the whistle and actively opposing state capture, were the DP/DA. We were dismissed as racists for our trouble, including by the media. The so-called "ANC good guys" actually started and refined State Capture.

Manugrievance? Obfurage? Moron trapping?

The internet has inspired great new words such as Clickbait, and "Kitten-fishing" (making yourself look more attractive than you are on dating sites). Now we need a strong term for "distorting the clear meaning of a tweet in order to manufactire outrage". Any suggestions?

I prefer Homo sapiens or human or other if it’s a tick box.

[Helen Zille @helenzille]

Astounding. I post a tweet to show how WRONG and HATEFUL all race-based generalisations are, and I get accused of making race-based generalisations. Either the problem of reading-for-meaning is worse than we thought or this is just willful misrepresentation. I suspect the latter.

Isn’t libel the word?

Nothing about growing an economy. Farrakhan is just another rabble rouser. He has nothing to offer.

Looks fantastic!!!!

We landed at 07:10, on runway R26L at Frankfurt International Airport. There was a potential for morning fog, but it didn’t materialise during our approach. Our cabin crew, led by Roger, did a great job on this full… https://t.co/xwHGXCcNrU

The minerals are not a blessing; their a curse. And the mining charter is disastrous.

[Gwede Mantashe @GwedeMantashe1]

Mining is not about Gold. It is about a number of minerals that our country is blessed with. We must protect them. We are investing in exploration & geological mapping. We must position ourselves to play our role in the economy #InvestinSAMining @DMR_SA @Energy_ZA

[Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds @ThuliMadonsela3]

It’s staggering how we keep electing into office people who neither understand nor accept our constitution, including its supremacy, which makes judges its ultimate guardians #JustAThought

Shaik meanwhile is still very much alive 10 years after being released on medical parole while his partner in crime is roaming the streets of our country untouched while the evidence against Shaik suggests otherwise. #ArmsDeal
