Another day, another wish for my death.
Why? Because an ex police chief whose corruption charges I reported on has claimed with zero evidence that me - and others who reported on his highly publicised case - were agents.
You are so eager to threaten me, you’ll believe anything.

I know we are deep in the drama of GNU, whether people are staying or leaving.
But there are other things happening politically 😎

My campaign @Zackie2024 signed onto a letter to the @IECSouthAfrica because a number of people who voted for me across the City could not meet the deadline for their objections and we supported an extension of the deadline. I now withdraw my name from that letter.

Any number of objections from people who voted for me would not in any way alter the outcome in a material way but the principle is to count every vote. And, this should still happen.

Right now anti-democratic forces aim to discredit a credible result provincially and nationally.

All of us are disheartened by the results for the forces of hate such as MK, the Patriotic Alliance and the Coloured Congress but we accept the will of their voters without question.

These are forces that will destroy our society and no democrat should encourage them faux leftists notwithstanding.

The EFF says it draws "inspiration from the broad Marxist-Leninist tradition school of thought in their analysis of the state, imperialism,  culture and class contradictions in every society."
Marx: "Religion is the opium of the masses." 🤔

The incoming President of South Africa, @julius_s_malema speaking at the New Generation church this morning.

Then the Lord said to Joshua “Don’t be Afraid, don’t give up. I will help you defeat the king of Ai.”

[Jan Gerber @gerbjan]

Of course Ramaphosa thanked Parliament in his state sponsored stump speech tonight. The ANC benches ensured Parliament continually deferred to his executive, refused to investigate Phala Phala, and gave him cart blanche to set the limits and thresholds for party donations.

This is not true. There is no UN Human Rights committee. The UN Human Rights Council is not a court & doesn’t have the power to overturn domestic court decisions. In SA the Con Court is the end of the road.

[Karyn Maughan @karynmaughan]

The MK bots don't seem to realise that threatening to destroy any vestige of rule of law/your enemies/democracy itself --- if and when you ascend to positions of power --- doesn't exactly scream "vote for us, we are sane".

It's an election guys.
Not a pre-school rap battle.

[Jan Gerber @gerbjan]

She wrote straight from @IOL's court papers, are you saying your court papers are not true? And how does this idiotic, baseless, misogynistic attack "uncover the truth"?

[The Star @TheStar_news]

Journalism's duty is to uncover the truth, not to spread propaganda. Is Karyn Maughan using her platform to influence the judiciary? @karynmaughan

I often advise Karyn to ignore the unwarranted and abusive attacks she faces for doing her job. She must ignore it. I will FIGHT this. This level of abuse can never be tolerated.
