Revolution Day returns on 7 November 2026 https://t.co/vKA1FXnnZO
L'est we forget.
"Revolution Day returns on Saturday, 7 November 2026, under the banner Honouring Fallen Heroes, inviting Cannabis .... and members of the wider community to take part."
🇿🇦 Read and weep... its about time the truth starts coming out...‼️
"I am a contractor and I worked at the Medupi Power Station. I wish to add a few comments...
"The working staff get the last day of each month off as well as half the previous day for pay day.
"General workers arrive between eight and nine and start working on the new substations by ten.
"Lunch starts at about 11:30 and finishes about 14:00
They leave at about 15:30
"These are the general workers pulling in new cables, moving panels etc.
"So very little real work gets done because of the short working hours.
"I was working in a substation. The air conditioning system was not working because the controller is the wrong type. It has taken four months to find a replacement. It was 40 degrees in the substation
"The two main chimneys at Medupi have been built facing the wrong direction. They are 180 degrees the wrong way round. This means the pipework will all have to be changed. The efficiency of the blowers will be affected as the pipework is incorrect.
"The management of staff is a mess. The staff sit and look at you if you ask them to do anything. They know that if they don’t like what you are asking, they can on strike and they have done it. So nobody messes with them.
"The engineer who signed off the building of the chimneys the wrong way round has disappeared. There was insufficient management oversight. The wrong air conditioning unit in the substation was also due to lack of management.
LUNCH
"Apparently the “kitchen” or food contract is run by the local ANC mayor or leader.
The workers are guaranteed a hot lunch every day.
There is a central kitchen and mess.
"Thus a worker who is an hour away from the kitchen, is transported in a little bus. His lunch hour only starts when he picks up the plate to be served.
"So an hour lunch break lasts 2 or 3 hours in some sections.
"When the workforce was on strike the lunch providers were paid full value – not just the profit section even though they were not supplying any meals.
"The lunch contract has come up for review many times and every time the same person is awarded the contract despite better or other bids."
Now this is just lunch.... Imagine the rest ?

Minister Steenhuisen, You know, they say every child is a silver lining. And I think the silver lining that came from the U.S. upset with tariffs, etc., is that it forced us to be less complacent on the line on existing markets and to go out and look for other opportunities around the world.
Minister Steenhuisen: We have been absolutely staggered with the demand out there for South African products, mainly in the Middle East and, of course, Eastern and Southeast Asia. We have seen massive growth in our potential now into China. And the zero tariff on wine on May is going to be a game-changer. Suddenly, now, we do compete on wine with Australia. We do compete on soy with other countries. And this is going to give us a huge opportunity to expand. So the approach of the department has been twofold. One, deepen and widen existing trade relations. And that is why we continue.@jsteenhuisen@MissThabiNkosi
