Selfs Max du Preez moet toegee:
“Wat Solidariteit doen is "genius". Hulle bou dinge in rekordtyd — ’n tegniese kollege, ’n universiteit — sonder dat een sent gesteel word. Die kontras met die staat is verpletterend.”

Episode 633 - SA val onder die 12.5% VSA-tarief – Wat beteken dit? https://t.co/ATTLNqxOnf

[Reint Dykema @dinodrop]

Presies, Phumlani.
Die obsessie met ’n groep van minder as 8% wat nie meer politieke mag het nie, is ’n afleiding. Die ekonomie is in puin weens 30+ jaar se swak beleid, korrupsie en kaderskap. Hou jou leiers verantwoordelik in plaas daarvan om ’n klein minderheid te blameer.

[Phumlani M. Majozi @PhumlaniMMajozi]

I've noticed a lot of obsession with White South Africans. White South Africans account for less than 8% of the population, are largely middle class, and lost political power more than 30 years ago. Stop focusing on them and hold your leaders to account for destroying the economy. #economy #politics #markets

Theo de Jager: Boere het nooit gedink ’n DA-minister sou Gupta-streke uithaal nie. Hofuitspraak oor private FMD-inenting is ’n groot oorwinning vir boere.

Dis verstommend dat ’n DA-minister só in die pad kon staan van boere se pogings om hul kuddes te red, skryf Theo de Jager.

@RicoSmith_ Hierdie is belediging vir elke beesboer wat onder John se swak oordeel deurgeloop het. Om die DA self aan te haal: "Farmers and workers are watching their animals suffer in pain, with young calves dying and dairy production collapsing."

[Reint Dykema @dinodrop]

Stuur 'n sos vir John. Kans dat hy hom nie gaan steur aan die versoek is baie goed.

[Democratic Alliance Gauteng Legislature @DA_GPL]

DA demands urgent action on Foot-and-Mouth Disease threat in Gauteng.
FMD is not just an animal disease — it is a serious threat to farmers’ livelihoods, food security, jobs and the provincial economy.
Bronwynn Engelbrecht MPL has tabled a motion calling for:
* A clear public plan to distribute vaccines to all livestock
* An audit of all municipal commonage and grazing land
* Stronger movement control, quarantine measures and biosecurity
* An intergovernmental FMD task team with clear accountability
Farmers and workers are watching their animals suffer in pain, with young calves dying and dairy production collapsing.
The DA stands with Gauteng’s farmers. We cannot allow uncontrolled movement and poor coordination to destroy the agricultural sector.

[Roman Cabanac @RomanCabanac]

All the ANC had to do in 1994, was keep the White, Coloured and Indian civil servants in place, aggressively up skill the black middle class, and let them join the state in 10 - 15 years.

But nope, they kicked everyone out in 5 years and wonder why everyhing went to shit.

Ernst van Zyl gesels met advokaat Gerrie Nel (hoof van AfriForum se privaatvervolgingseenheid) oor die groeiende gesag van privaat vervolging, die Mbalula-dossier, hofsake wat uitgesaai word, en die toekoms daarvan om korrupte politici aanspreeklik te hou.

James Myburgh se nuwe stuk is ’n absolute moet-lees.
Hy ontbloot die swak fondamente en gevaarlike implikasies van Max du Preez se aanval op AfriForum & Solidariteit. Selfs Du Preez se eie vroeëre boeke (Pale Native) weerspreek sy huidige narratief. https://t.co/MAyolF5Wdg

Sal nogal help as jou landbou unie hoor wat kan hy volgende vir sy lede (boere) doen en nie kyk wat moet hy volgende vir die ANC doen nie.

[Theo de Jager @TheoDJager]

@landbou Daar is verskillende landbou-organisasies want hulle het verskillende mandate en hulle verskil in beleid:
Landbou meesterplan
Onteiening teen minder vergoeding
Afrika: bedreiging of geleentheid?
Belange van kleiner boere
Alternatiewe vleis en melk
BEE
"K the farmer, K the boer"

@TheoDJager The government’s blockade on private vaccination was a disaster. Farmers should have been able to protect themselves from the start.

[Reint Dykema @dinodrop]

soveel spin en drama om die weg te steek: The order, in favour of Sakeliga, SAAI, and Free State Agriculture, confirms that owners and managers of cloven-hooved livestock may independently procure and administer lawfully obtained FMD vaccines.

[John Steenhuisen MP @jsteenhuisen]

I note the interim order handed down by the Gauteng Division of the High Court relating to the procurement and administration of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccines.

I note that the practical effect of the matter is now largely overtaken by the gazetted Section 10 animal health scheme, which already provides a lawful framework for participation by private industry role players in the national vaccination effort.

Government has consistently supported a coordinated public-private approach to combating FMD.  

Millions of vaccines have already been allocated to organised industry structures, including the Milk Producers’ Organisation (MPO), while further allocations are being rolled out to feedlots, stud breeders and commercial farmers.

Our primary focus remains the implementation of the national FMD Strategy through the Ministerial Task Team and the Industry Coordinating Committee on FMD.

Our objective remains to vaccinate at least 80% of the national cattle population with two doses of vaccine as swiftly as possible as part of South Africa’s pathway toward achieving WOAH-recognised FMD free with vaccination status.

This would unlock significant export opportunities for South Africa’s red meat sector.

In demonstration of this commitment, since February this year, the Ministry and Department have procured every available local and international matched vaccine available.

Approximately 13.5 million FMD vaccine doses from local and international sources have been procured as part of government’s intensified response to the outbreak.

We remain unwaveringly committed to ensuring the success of the strategy and ensuring this outbreak is the last major outbreak of FMD and becomes a turning point in strengthening South Africa’s long-term biosecurity capability and defeating FMD once and for all.

John Steenhuisen wat nie kan lees nie 😂
Kyk na jou eie artikel, Minister: die 300 000 “nuwe” poste is sedert 2012 se NDP – nie jou werk nie.

[Gideon Jacobs @Gideon_jacobs2]

Listen up kids, this is what happens when you think your voters are dumber than a box of rocks.

He is quick to claim victory and pretend he is a success story. He however neglect to mention that the number of 956000 jobs in the ag sector was already achieved in 2023.

In the 2 years he basically created jack shit in terms of employment.

Now John you are quick to mention Pieter Mulder and the @VFPlus at least they do not bullshit their way through life.

[Theo de Jager @TheoDJager]

@dinodrop Hundreds of farming operations, and hundred thousands of cattle and pigs could have been saved, had farmers and veterinarians not been blocked by government to legally procure vaccines and vaccinate their own livestock

[Reint Dykema @dinodrop]

@tumydimingy @Lekrom No, we can’t agree.
Blocking Starlink to “own Elon” doesn’t help poor South Africans — it keeps them disconnected. Rural schools, clinics and businesses need reliable internet today, not more ideology.

[Reint Dykema @dinodrop]

Redi Tlhabi waarsku teen “vreemde invloed” en Starlink… maar haar stuk is op Phillip van Niekerk se Substack — ’n betaalde konsultant vir MTN.
MTN wil Starlink natuurlik blokkeer.
Die ironie is dikker as ANC-propaganda. 😂

[Jewish Tim Flack 𝕏 @tim_meh87]

Redi Tlhabi just dropped a piece calling
@Starlink a “national security threat” to South Africa… and warning us not to sell our democracy to @elonmusk

But she “forgot” to mention her piece is hosted on Phillip van Niekerk’s Substack, the same guy who’s A PAID CONSULTANT FOR MTN. MTN has every incentive to slow-walk Starlink while pushing its own satellite plays. Transparency matters when lecturing about “democracy” and foreign influence.
