Let me tell you what the press release didn’t say.
This is exactly the kind of product that looks like a blessing but can become a trap if you don’t understand the numbers.

#KnowYourSIU| 1. The SIU does not target people nor do we investigate people. We investigate procurement processes in State Institutions and all levels of government departments, and it's through these processes that we find people who are responsible. In simple terms, we follow the money and the money leads us to people.
2. The law that governs the SIU states that the SIU does not identify its own investigations. We receive allegations, which we then assess to see if falls within our mandate, and we write a motivation for a proclamation to the President for authorisation.
We rely on whistleblowers or people reporting to our hotline, which is 0800 037 774.

The best way to understand how dangerous her request for people to put aside her ideologies when voting for leaders is comparing it with this specific scenario:
You meet someone online you start engaging and they seem like a very interesting person. For the most part their content seems to align with yours, they seem thoughtful, they seem kind, they are smart, funny and overall seem like a decent human being. They propose a relationship and you want know them better before saying yes, so you ask their stance on GBV, homophobia, religion, cheating, women’s rights, children’s rights, misogyny, how they handle conflict etc. and they refuse to answer, instead they tell you to just focus on what they’ve shown you rather than what they personally believe in…
Would you happily date this person?
Running this back because it's important to remember Solomon Mahlangu's death happened on this day in 1979 because the National Party government wanted to celebrate their invasion of African soil by way of a human sacrifice. White supremacy is witchcraft. Honour to Kalushi, always.

Acoustically brilliant. Community built. The best architecture doesn’t always start with new materials.

The crux of my argument is that we need human oversight & transparency in the AI tools being used for screening job applications. The algorithms are designed on datasets that are biased so they replicate the discrimination from the past to find suitable candidates for the job(1/X
You know what infuriates me the most about these foolish things done by Panyaza & Co?
These guys make us, as abantu abamnyama, look like asikwazi ukuphatha.
Being in charge of government gives you immense power to make serious changes that improve the lives zabahlali.
You just need to work within the bounds of the law and, where the law does not allow, you can change it directly or lobby to the proper authority to do so.
You just need to take abahlali seriously and do things properly. These people really do not. 🚮
