🇿🇦 From Subject to Citizen: a New Vision for South Africa.

This is the South Africa we're going to build - one centered on its citizens. How? By building:

■ A state that belongs to the people, not to the party.

■ An economy that offers opportunities for all, not favours for the politically connected.

■ An education system organised around children's needs, not union interests.

■ A criminal justice system that protects law-abiding citizens, not those who prey on them.

■ A social welfare system that builds agency, not dependency.

Muslims: Jesus never claimed to be God.

The Bible: The Jews picked up stones to stone Jesus because He claimed to be God.

John 10:31-33

Stop saying, “May Allah guide you.”

Guide me to what exactly? 🤔

-To face Mecca before I can pray?

-To learn Arabic before I can pray or read the Quran?

-To keep ticking off a daily checklist just to know if I’m doing enough?

-To live my whole life unsure of where I’m spending eternity?

-To believe I’ll first go to hell before eventually being brought out?

-To wash up before I can even talk to God?

-To keep bending, standing, bending like aerobics just to pray?

-To turn prayer into a daily checklist and still never know if I’ve done enough?

-To follow a man who wasn’t even sure of his own fate?

-To start defending a prophet marrying a 6-year-old and consummating at 9… with a straight face?

-To twist my brain and claim Jesus was a Muslim?

No, thank you. I’m okay with my Jesus. His yoke is easy.

I don’t need to face a particular direction before I pray.

I don’t need to learn a new language to talk to Him or read His Word.

I don’t need to perform a ritual washing before I can approach Him.

I don’t need a daily checklist to measure my standing with God.

He said “Come in spirit and in truth.”

What matters most to Him is the condition of my heart and the sincerity of my motives, not how perfectly I perform a list of rituals.

They are destroying TVs, laptops, antennas, satellites, and other electronic devices because they are haram and did not exist in Muhammad’s time. All while using their phones to film and post it online.

Stupidity knows no bounds.

What is really going on at the a SAHRC...
The South African Human Rights Commission operates on a budget historically tracking at approximately R224 million per fiscal cycle.
Exactly 69% of the entire SAHRC budget is consumed by employee compensation and salaries.

South Africa, once the undisputed economic locomotive and tech giant of the continent, is actively choosing to sit in the dark while the rest of Africa runs at hyper-velocity into the LEO internet era. This is a severe embarrassment.

The very country that produced Elon Musk, the architect of global reusable rocketry and space-based internet infrastructure, cannot legally access his constellation.

Under the guise of the Electronic Communications Act and strict 30% Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) ownership rules, the state has built a brick wall around its digital border.

Starlink even offered a R500 million equity equivalent investment to connect 5,000 rural schools for free, but it remains jammed in the regulatory exhaust pipe of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA).

While South African policymakers hold endless committees and debate "digital sovereignty", more than half the continent has simply run the math. From Nigeria to Zimbabwe, neighboring economies have realized that shielding legacy, terrestrial telecom monopolies is a recipe for economic decay. This isn't about transformation; it's about protectionism over progress.

When a state prioritizes legacy ownership structures over baseline connectivity infrastructure, it doesn't punish the foreign tech company, it punishes its own rural communities, its own SMEs, and its own future developers.

Bad governance doesn't just stall growth, it destroys the capacity to compete. South Africa didn't lose its position as history's continental tech leader because it lacked talent or capital. It is losing it because the regulatory operating system is severely bugged.

Leon handled the interview very well. There remains, two weeks on, the ignorance about lobbying (itself a poorly regulated industry) at the heart of all this sound and fury.

So far, there is no evidence of any wrongdoing

Americans are very generous, but they draw the line when someone has been granted the immense privilege of American citizenship, then throws that gift in our faces by insisting that America on its own is trash—and needs them to reshape us in the image of the place they left.

[Gareth van Onselen @GvanOnselen]

Same point about Redi Thlabi. Literally a journalist and part of a PR agency. Where does one start and the other stop? On one hand she reports news, on the other she advises private clients how to influence it. Again, press council should look at this. DA should lay complaint.

[Nicole Barlow @Nicole_Barlow1]

Let me make this blatantly clear. Pride month, pride marches and all the deviancy that accompanies these obscene parades - in London @MayorofLondon, and in Cape Town, in 2028 @geordinhl - have absolutely nothing to do with the homosexual/bisexual or transvestite communities campaign for sexual emancipation. These rights were achieved long time ago.

These are deliberate and corporate sponsored mechanisms, aimed at eroding traditions, normalising taboos, endangering children (transgenderism), and seizing societal control. They are embedded in "cultural Marxism" and allegedly Protocols-style narratives.

There has been a co-ordinated campaign, over decades, to destroy society, as we know it. The proliferation of on-line pornography, on-line gambling, gender fluidity, paedophilia, mass illegal migration, the destruction of the nuclear family - all part of a stealth like revolution to reorganise (destroy) society and nations.

It is far easier to influence and control a population when, pornography erodes moral standards, transgenderism creates confusion about personal identity, mass illegal migration weakens patriotism and national cohesion, and media narratives discourage people from defending their families or their nation, by portraying opposition to these developments as racist, xenophobic, or bigoted.

My mission is to teach South Africans about the importance of capitalism, the family unit, personal responsibility, and law and order. South Africa is a lawless country with broken families and a government that’s killing economic growth. We have serious problems.

Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary since this man blew the lid on a level of police and state capture that resulted in a Police Minister being suspended( 1 year full pay for Mchunu so far), and the arrests of multiple high level policemen, including the commissioner.

Through the Madlanga Commission massive cartels have been revealed, vicious smear campaigns uncovered and extensive criminal networks exposed.

The capture of Metro Policing in Ekurhuleni, security tenders in Tshwane, and police officers who masquerade as criminals more than law enforcement has shocked the nation.

We are still just scraping the surface.

[Mike Abel @abelmike]

There are a number of articles I want to read, just to get the gist of what they saying, and the angle / agenda chosen.
Unfortunately I have cancelled my subscription to many of these rags out of principle.

One principle only: A complete intolerance for blatant hypocrisy.

I often get irritated with myself for doing this, but then I remember who they are, and what they doing, and although frustrating, I would still not give 1c of my hard-earned dosh to those who actively and strategically perpetuate prejudice under the guise of journalism.

Tshwane City Manager delivers Smackdown on unlawful attempt to suspend him by Mayor Moya!

Johann Mettler, has fired back at the ANC/EFF backed ActionSA Mayor's unlawful suspension attempt with response which sends the Mayor and her team back to school!

The City Manager's response shows the attempted suspension is procedurally unfair, irrational and unlawful. So deficient in fact that the EFF who wrote the complaint and the Mayor's office are basically exposed as illiterates in law.

The CM has identified that the complaint against him has NONE of the following:

•Specific facts supporting each allegation;
•Relevant dates;
•Relevant documents and reports;
•Applicable legal or policy provisions allegedly breached;
•Names of officials involved where relevant;
•Any real evidence relied upon by Council

It is basically a broad, made up smear campaign devoid of truth or facts. Despite this he responded to each one pointing out how there is zero evidence behind anything. Mettler came under attack after he refused to sign off on R1.3 billion in irregular tenders.

Moya and the EFF have also attacked him in their complaint for appointing DC Spies who blew the lid on corruption at the Madlanga Commission.

The CM's submission is clear. Any attempt to suspend him will be taken to court and overturned. Its a comprehensive 19 page smackdown!

[Mike Abel @abelmike]

This is an odd and scary realisation.
One would usually assume people who go into politics are patriots?

Well, I have naively always held this view.

Yes, some may be rogues as individuals, but usually they want the best for their country. You’d think so.
But looking globally there seems to be a new emerging breed of politician whose words and actions are anything but patriotic.

It seems they don’t love nor respect the country they live in (whether born there or having moved there for a a supposedly better life).

That’s a truly concerning reality.

People who choose public office, as mayors, congress, municipal roles and other key positions, not to advance the character and style of their host country or constitution, but specifically to break it and change it, - according to their personal, economic or religious beliefs.

This is uncharted territory. And although maybe 10 years in the making, it’s clearly decades in the planning.

These people did not wake up one day and choose this career path.
It’s been a long term plan of identifying the right candidates, the right path, the right words, making false promises and creating cunning strategies to get here. All planned, funded and coordinated.

And it’s far too noticeable today to be a coincidence. One or two instances, sure, maybe by chance. But it’s now a pattern. Wallpaper in fact.

So back to my original observation. The greatest disservice we can do ourselves is to believe those who seek public office are patriots.

Today I think it’s almost the exact opposite in many, many instances. The evidence is simply too overwhelming to suggest otherwise. And I seem to be arriving at this realisation very late 🫣

[steve van niekerk @NiekerkSteve]

If you want to get the shock of your life do an audit on the following in all government departments, SOEs and municipalities :
- Overtime worked vs.overtime payments
-Sick leave taken vs.actual sick time
- Sleep out allowances paid vs.actual need/work performance
- Performance bonuses paid vs.actual performance
- Private use of government vehicles
Making these figure public would result in an immidiate tax payers revolt and boycott.

@MbalulaFikile Was it a panel of 11? But you guys a not serious, whatever the outcome,no one takes you seriously. All your appointments are dodgy, and the recent Dina Pule fiasco is just one of many. You are fast “killing” the once formidable and respected ANC. Now viewed as unethical, sies
