Not one single street light working on William Nicol, sorry I mean Winnie Mandela Drive. Oh the irony of changing the name to “an icon” but then also letting it go to shit at the same time. An advert for the ANC.

[John Perlman @JohnPerlman]

Good morning @JHBWater. Thousands of litres of drinking water, tens of thousands of Rand. Just pouring down Anerley Road into Oxford Road. For at least five days.

@CityofJoburgZA @CleanerJoburg @jozi117 Dear Pikitup, JHB city and Parkhurst DA counsellor. Refuse removal most of Parkhurst DID NOT OCCUR as per schedule on Monday. Full bins on most streets. What’s the plan, when will this be collected ?

South African teenager Bohlale Mphahlele developed an innovative personal safety device designed to look like a simple piece of jewelry.

Known as the Alerting Earpiece, the device is built to resemble a regular earring while discreetly containing a small camera and emergency alert system.

When activated, the earpiece can capture images and send a distress signal to selected contacts. The alert can also include the wearer’s live GPS location, helping trusted individuals or emergency responders locate the person quickly.

The idea behind the design is to provide a discreet safety tool that can be used in situations where reaching for a phone or drawing attention may not be possible.

Mphahlele presented the concept at the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists, where the project received recognition from judges and education officials.

Her invention highlights how young innovators are using technology to address real-world challenges, particularly around personal safety and rapid emergency communication.

The party started off with a fashion show that only a mother could be proud of.

Then, Daddy Cupcake went:

• Hello to you in the audience, plus the mayor of Cape Town, plus everyone. Actually, hello to you all, except that one shower prez.
• Women. So strong those ones.
• Apartheid...
• Clap for women.
• Bantu Education and Afrikaans oppression.
• I salute the youth. Not Gen Z. The Gen X youth.
• Everyone deserves food, shelter, water (ha!), and such. We must make these things happen now. It's time.
• Our country is beautiful and rich. Plus we have the kumbaya spirit. Wakanda Forever, y'all.
• We're a nation of sports champions. It's new, guys.
• Our economy is growing again, and gathering pace (like a baby?)
• The Rand is stronger than the Dollar. The JSE is a prince amongst paupers in Africa.
• Loadshedding is over.
• Everything is working: ports, railways, roads, solar farms.
• We created 2.5 million... opportunities. You thought I was gonna say “jobs” neh?
• Unemployment? What?
• Moving on. We are no longer on the financial grey list. Yay.
• Remember that I'm the State Capture dragon slayer.
• The GNU. Smile everyone. Look at us working together.
• G20 Summit. You didn't think I'd leave that out, hey.
• Eish, but you know what? Life is tough. People are poor. They need money and services. We must become equal.
• The children...
• Crime...
• Task teams for everything.
• We've worked hard... since last year.
• GBV, Zama-Zamas, hijacked buildings
• We will create new ways to fight crime.
• The SANDF is coming for the gangs. Where? Somewhere in Western Cape and Gauteng.
• We will combat crime by fixing street lights and other things like being strict.
• We will have a new programme for policing illicit goods. I'll task-team the hell out of it.
• The Madlanga Commission... the Ad Hoc Commission... there will be, uhm, consequences.
• Whistleblowers will be protected with a new law that will make it illegal to do illegal things like killing whistleblowers. We will take measures.
• Water is almost as important as the crime issue. The ministers of water and COGTA will fix this matter by talking to residents about it. They were uninvited to the SONA so they could do this talking thing that will get the water running again.
• The reason we have water problems is because infrastructure. Infrastructure is not infrastructuring, so there's no infrastructure.
• New agency alert: the water something something agency.
• Task team.
• There will be a R54bn incentive from the government for municipalities to do their job of getting water to people. A salary upon and within a salary. Salary-ception.
• Government will now interfere and intervene in municipal issues, being strict and everything.
• Johannesburg is collapsing. Infrastructure.
• Climate change... infrastructure.
• Opportunities for youth. Infrastructure.
• Infrastructure drive
• A new state property company will change land into moneymaking machines.
• Loadshedding is behind us. Infrastructure.
• State Capture. Don't forget that nothing is my fault. It was that other guy.
• By 2030 our energy will be cheap and clean. Not cheap for you, just cheap to make.
• Eskom for who? I will open this marriage up into a polygamy. No more exclusivity.
• Task team.
• We will probably, maybe, get rid of load reduction (AKA Apartheid loadshedding.)
• Infrastructure. Rail. Ports. More Gautrains.
• Imagine, dream, wonder, even, about a high-speed train from Joburg to Musina, or to Durban.
• The chrome, steel and motor industries will be revived.
• We are competitive. The best, even. Have you seen our oranges all over the world? Everywhere.
• We need more farmers. We will copy the Ethiopia model of employing agricultural officers.

#CitizenCam Johannesburg’s crumbling infrastructure is becoming impossible to ignore. From pothole-riddled roads and failing services to visible signs of urban decay across the city. For many residents and commuters, daily life has become a test of patience, safety and trust in local government. As the city heads toward the 2026 local government elections, these service delivery failures are increasingly shaping public mood and political choices. Citizen Cam spent the day in the city, speaking to residents and commuters about their everyday experiences, and whether these realities will influence how they vote in the upcoming elections. #AMReport405

@ProctorPiers @CityPowerJhb Agree @CityPowerJhb you are jokers, lying and leaving us with no power. Please send pic of team on site doing something so we can verify your claims?

[piers (not Morgan ) @ProctorPiers]

@CityPowerJhb after 48 hours with no power in 21st street Parkhurst can you at the very least give the 300 households some sort of update instead of ignoring this outage
