@Markosonke1 I have never seen or heard such ignorance and stupidity and plain disrespect and callousness from a Minister for his own population. Did anyone tell
This idiot that more than 60% of our youth are unemployed. They are more worried about surviving right now.

@CyrilRamaphosa The next time you or your government acts with any urgency will be the first time.

STOP WASTING AND LOOTING OUR MONEY.

"We cannot be dictated to on our transformation policies. If you say the ANC must abandon BEE, you are saying we must cease to exist, and we won't do that."

— ANC SECRETARY-GENERAL, FIKILE MBALULA

When the ANC cadre says "we," he is not talking about the South African people. He is talking about the ANC bosses.

What would cease to exist are the ANC tenderpreneurs, the mining cartels, and the bogus businessmen. These are the people who just pin their names onto investments and companies through their proximity to power, without offering any actual service or value.

@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa Stating the obvious again. Would be nice if you made an effort to fix things.

Zimbabwe's President Says Its People Will Walk Back Home the Same Way They Walked to South Africa; He Doesn't Have a Budget to Transport Them for Free Before 30 June.

ANC cadres are truly incredible magicians.

They turned the taxpayers' money into Range Rovers, Ferraris, Bentleys and Bugattis.

@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa And yet we have the highest youth unemployment rate in the world ? Empty words mean nothing.

Dear @GwedeMantashe1

Fix mining or forfeit SA’s future. Policy sabotage not geology killed the golden goose.

- Gold output down 86%.
- GDP contribution halved.
- 300k+ jobs lost.
- No new mines while the world begs for our copper, lithium, manganese.
- BEE uncertainty, nationalisation threats and regulatory chaos have made us uninvestable.

We sit on the minerals the green transition needs yet ANC incompetence chooses decline.

Time to choose prosperity over ideology. South Africa deserves better.

The SABC 2 coverage of the Comrades this year is a perfect indicator of what the ANC has done to this country. They have destroyed literally everything. #voetsekANC

According to Corruption Watch, South Africa went from being one of the least corrupt countries in the world in 1995, ranking alongside Belgium and Japan, to one of the most corrupt countries in the world, ranking alongside Cuba and Kazakhstan in 2026.

And then there is South Africa.

[Farai Mazhindu @FaraiMazhindu]

Elon Musk's statement that Africa's poverty is not rooted in colonialism is a harsh but necessary economic truth.

Clinging to centuries-old colonial grievances has become a bankrupt strategy used by modern ruling elites to excuse their own policy failures and institutional decay.

Ethiopia avoided colonial rule, yet it stagnated for decades. Vietnam endured brutal French colonization and war, yet it is now a booming economic power.

If colonialism were the sole determinant of wealth, Ethiopia would be rich and Vietnam would be broke.

The core issue is present governance, not past extraction. Former colonies like Singapore grew because they protected property rights and enforced the rule of law.

Africa remains trapped because leadership prioritizes elite survival over economic productivity.

🇿🇦 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 ?

I hate to jump on a bandwagon in times when inspiration and hope is required, but Bafana Bafana’s performance was a perfect mirror to the state of South Africa itself.

Plenty of potential, and somehow a shocking inability to get the basics right when it matters.

The ball was moving faster than the ideas on the field, ironically, also how most government plans work. All I saw was vibes. A little like a country watching potholes multiply, power disappear, and jobs evaporate all while politicians are saying: "Don't worry... next time"

Red cards are obviously symbolic... like the usual self-inflicted disasters. South Africa has become so good at taking itself out of the game that opponents barely need to do the work.

You can’t keep arriving at the stadium with a beautiful jersey and expect the scoreboard to respect your intentions. It's a slap in the face, no pun intended.

Meanwhile, politicians sit comfortably in the VIP boxes trying to convince us all we're making progress. We keep hearing about Ubuntu as if kindness alone is a substitute for competence. At some point we're going to need more than good hearts, nice words and vibes.

South Africa is playing against itself.
Next time boys...
