@sandileswana So, there might roughly be 14.7% of Basotho in Rsa,!?

@daddyhope Radovan Krejčíř, do you recall his alleged reasons for fleeing to RSA from his country, if you had the privilege of encountering such? 😔

@MickyJnr__ If found to be true, will that be regarded as "improper" in football laws?

You'd be 43 years old today. 🤍

Your greatest legacy was never only the voice that shook power- but the daughters you left behind, who now rise beautifully in your name. In them, your love did not end; it multiplied.

MaDlamini losing you scrambled her soul, but she remains surrounded by care, love, and protection. Your family misses you deeply.

You are gone, but never absent.
Your legacy breathes. 🕊️🤍🌿

Happy heavenly birthday, Nqolo.
Gab’ongapheli.

@pbanura What did he explain (virtually a day after the fact), that his neighbours did this?⤵️

@SizweLo @porklady "South Africa’s economy has become increasingly financialised, making money from financial transactions rather than productive investment". Spot-on. 😊

Profound: "His downfall wasn’t due to lack of legal skill; it was the moral corrosion that comes from defending the indefensible."@MediaZaban865

That public corrective moment was not flattering for a senior advocate of Adv Ngcukaitobi’s stature

Adv Ngcukaitobi's performance at the #MadlangaCommission is testament to how even the most decorated legal minds can stumble, not because their intellect has dimmed, but because poor judgment, ethically questionable alliances and a willingness to play in the mud for problematic clients can erode their standing in the public eye.

What happened there looked like a lack of preparation and a sneaky underhanded tactic.

Mchunu, in his testimony, confidently pushed the false claim that Mrs Sarah Burger was arrested by the PKTT and detained for days on charges of corruption that were later withdrawn. Mchunu alleged that he based this on a piece on News24 but when commissioners combed the article line by line, it became clear that the arrest was by the Hawks.

I'm saying this could mean that Adv Ngcukaitobi failed to prepare enough by verifying Mchunu's version of things, including reading that same article that fell apart at the Commission.

□ Also, Mchunu and his legal team did not notice a devastating contradiction in the Minister’s justification for disbanding PKTT, relying on Burger's affidavit signed nine months AFTER the disbandment.

□ Adv Ngcukaitobi attempted to re-examine the Minister on evidence that has NOT yet been led, even though the Commission had clearly agreed that this portion of testimony would only be dealt with in January 2026.

Adv Mahlape Sello, SC, ever the guardian of due process, caught Adv Ngcukaitobi's maneuver instantly and put her foot down, halting the ambush-style attempt, and pulled the brakes on what was quickly becoming a reckless and procedurally improper exercise.

And that public corrective moment was not pretty. It left us, spectators, asking uncomfortable but necessary questions about the Adv's professional values, strategic intentions and ethical compass.

And this is not new: legal giants have fallen before due to questionable intentions.

Take Michael Cohen, once a formidable attorney in the U.S. and the trusted fixer for Donald Trump. He was sharp, connected, feared — until his choice of cases and his proximity to power poisoned his reputation. Eventually, he was criminally convicted, disgraced and stripped of the prestige he once enjoyed.
His downfall wasn’t due to lack of legal skill; it was the moral corrosion that comes from defending the indefensible.

Sometimes it’s not legal brilliance that fails, it’s character, judgment and the willingness to tether oneself to a cause that cannot withstand the light.

In the end, even the brightest legal stars fade when they abandon the principles that made them shine.

✊🇿🇦💔 HUNGER IN THE LAND OF PLENTY

We agree, President — the cruel and genocidal Israeli regime is using food as a weapon of war against the people of Palestine.
That is abhorrent and must be condemned at all times and in all forums!

But while we speak out against these crimes abroad, we must also open our eyes to the tragedy unfolding at home:
•Roughly 60–65% of South Africans live below the upper poverty line.
•Around 15 million people suffer from food insecurity.
•Over 2 million households experience outright hunger each year.
•Malnutrition contributes directly or indirectly to thousands of child deaths annually.
•Nearly one in three children under five is stunted — their growth and future blunted by hunger.

And yet, while millions go to bed hungry, food worth billions of rand is thrown away every year so that retailers can protect obscene profit margins.

Let’s look at the facts:

💰 Shoprite/Checkers posted R256 billion in revenue and R13.4 billion in trading profit last year.
Its CEO, Pieter Engelbrecht, took home a package worth R87 million — about R1.6 million a month.
That’s more than 1,000 years of a worker’s minimum wage!
Meanwhile, most Shoprite employees earn barely R32 an hour, just above the national minimum of R28.79.

🥫 Boxer, the so-called “discount” retailer, made R42 billion in sales and R2.3 billion in profit last year.
Even while trumpeting “affordability,” its workers still earn poverty wages that cannot buy the food they sell.

This is economic violence — a system that allows billion-rand profits at the top while the majority starve at the bottom.

South Africa’s hunger crisis is not caused by scarcity, but by greed and inequality.
It is a man-made disaster, driven by profit-hungry corporations and a government that refuses to act decisively.

We demand:
🍞 A National Food Security Emergency Plan.
🚫 Laws preventing supermarkets from dumping edible food.
💸 A living wage for all retail and farm workers.
📢 Action — not speeches — to end hunger in our lifetime!
