@Rantsho_black @CapeTown_Bru Agreed. One lacked the qualifications, the other had them. Neither delivered.

That tells us race and education aren’t the answer. Competence, results, and accountability are.

@Rantsho_black @CapeTown_Bru This isn’t about race or education. The point is about performance. Measured by that standard, South Africa deserves better.

@plexieym @CapeTown_Bru They did.

@KwazaUnathi “Invested” is the wrong word.

Investment requires due diligence and accountability. This was a deliberate choice made with no concern for the consequences or the stakeholders left to carry the risk.

[Crafford Smith @craffordsmith]

@SkyeZedA Afrimaga?

It’s a term for people who want a better governed country, accountable leadership, functioning institutions, economic growth, safe communities, reliable services, and opportunities for all citizens.

In short: people who believe South Africa can do better.

@Itumelanin After decades of taxes, international loans, foreign grants, corruption, waste and outright theft, what exactly do we have to show for it?

Citizens are funding government failure twice: once through taxes and again through paying privately for services government should provide.

@Recon1_ZA We simply cannot afford this government.

@DailyInvestorSA If this were a company, the CEO would be fired. Yet in government, failure is rewarded, accountability is avoided, and the consequences are borne by constituents.

@jsteenhuisen Employees rarely act this way in isolation. Such behaviour is often a reflection of the culture set by leadership. Perhaps that is why the consequence is merely an apology, rather than meaningful disciplinary action for conduct that has brought the department into disrepute.

@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa When laws apply only to citizens and not to the government enforcing them, justice becomes power masquerading as principle.
