The Construction Industry Development Board has blacklisted a further 12 contractors since the start of 2026 for non-performance.

This brings the total to 52 contractors who have been barred from doing business with the State.

Between 2002 and 2024, only 2 contractors were blacklisted. That era of inaction is over.

We are making strong progress in driving excellence, quality and value in public infrastructure projects. #LetsBuildSA 💙🇿🇦

Ayaan Hirsi Ali - let’s talk a bit about her.

She is one of the most courageous voices of our time.

She was born in 1969 in Mogadishu, Somalia, into a strict Muslim family. As a young girl, she was subjected to female genital mutilation. She grew up between Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and Kenya under a strict Islamic upbringing.

In 1992, she fled to the Netherlands to escape an arranged marriage - she jumped off a train in Europe and applied for asylum.

There, she learned Dutch, earned a degree in political science, and began working with integration.

She lost her faith in Islam. She became an atheist, and later converted to Christianity in 2023.

She saw clearly how Islam oppresses women - forced marriages, honor killings, female genital mutilation, polygamy, and the total lack of freedom.

In 2004, she made the short film Submission together with Theo van Gogh. The film showed violence against women in Islam.

Shortly after, Theo van Gogh was murdered in broad daylight in Amsterdam by a radical Muslim. A threat against Ayaan was left pinned to his chest: she was next.

She received death threats for years. She had to live under police protection.

She was elected to the Dutch parliament for the Liberal Party, where she fought for Muslim women’s rights and against the illusions of multiculturalism.

She has written books such as Infidel, Nomad, and Heretic, where she directly criticizes the core of Islam - not just “extremism,” but the ideology itself.

Today, she lives in the United States, married to historian Niall Ferguson, and continues her work, among other things through her foundation (AHA Foundation).

She warns the West about mass immigration from Muslim countries, parallel societies, and the self-deception that claims Islam can be reformed without confronting its texts and history.

Like Salman Rushdie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali has paid a high price for speaking the truth. Rushdie was hunted for a book. She was hunted for showing the reality of her own life and the lives of millions of Muslim women.

She is not “Islamophobic.” She is a former Muslim who has seen the system from the inside and refuses to stay silent. She points to the uncomfortable truth: that Western values such as freedom of speech, gender equality, and individual liberty are incompatible with classical sharia Islam.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a living example of why the Enlightenment is still worth defending.

She risked her life to say what most people don’t dare: that the problem is not only “extremists,” but a religion that, at its core, oppresses women and rejects criticism.

She deserves respect from all of us - not because she is “controversial,” but because she refuses to lie in order to be politically correct. In a time where many bow to threats, she continues to speak the truth.

These are the kind of people who keep the soul of the West alive. Thank you Ayaan.❤️‍🔥🪽✝️

🚨Mayor Nasiphi Moya tried to sneak in her reports at Tshwane’s monthly Council without mentioning her tenderpreneur Finance MMC and ANC supervisor, Eugene Modise.

We won’t allow her to get away with ignoring this issue. 🚨

@ConCaracal I had to laugh at this.... what nonsense

[Gary Martin @Gamarti2]

@gndzongana We going to vote for HER anyway! We want Jozi fixed and the ANC showed us they cannot!

Fantastic

[Wayne Sussman @waynesussman]

The DA holds W57 (Lyttleton Centurion) Tshwane
DA 53% (59%)
VF+ 44% (16%)
ANC 2% (8%)
TRUTH <1%
Poll: 21% (50%)
The VF+ beat the DA in both Lyttleton voting districts.
The DA's margin in De Hoewes carried it over the line.
The VF+ will be very happy with this suburban showing

One could understand @RonaldLamola & @DIRCO_ZA's silence on the slaughter of protestors in #Iran 20 000 killed 330 000 injured in a single week if #SouthAfrica didn't claim to be a protector of #HumanRights, but now we understand SA is just a puppet proxy regime bought by IRAN

@PolyannaBrey Good for them! If they feel they have a better chance of a better life for their family .... who are we to judge..

@Sthi047 @KrugerLotter @GodPenuel @ErnstRoets Perhaps the farmers WORKED the land with HARD labour to make it fertile 🤔. Just a thought!

@kalliekriel @afriforum @News24 @City_Press Something is seriously wrong with this media house! How many times should society accept the same forced apology for the same falsehood?

[Howard Feldman @HowardFeldman]

Another day another apology from the "trusted news" @News24 stable. @kalliekriel is collecting them like my grandmother used to collect stamps...

The President had almost 600k undeclared US dollars chilling on a farm couch and the nation has been quiet since 2020 like it’s normal interior décor. Any ordinary person hides R1k and SARS arrives with helicopters, but this guy hides dollars and continues ruling peacefully like nothing happened..

South Africa's tax base is highly concentrated, with a tiny proportion of individuals footing most of the personal income tax bill.

It's a special day for Christians. There are 2.6 billion Christians around the world. From Johannesburg, I say have a blessed day.🎄🎅 #MerryChristmas #Christmas2025

Honestly, we expect Johannesburg to be a world-class city while it’s been run for 30 years by ANC councillors whose highest qualification is Standard 6 😭 niyadlala nina. You can’t run Africa’s economic hub like a stokvel meeting and then act surprised when the books don’t balance. 2026 must be the year we upgrade the leadership specs: less vibes, more MBAs, fewer slogans, more accountants. Cities don’t collapse because of bad luck — they collapse because the people in charge can’t read the financial statements 📉💀
