It's absolutely criminal that over 1,800 qualified South African doctors sit unemployed due to "no funding" — yet government hospitals have money to keep hiring foreign doctors, especially Cubans over our graduates. Unfknbelievable
Since Ramaphosa says there's no more money for Madlanga's commission. Let's see what the government has money for.
1. Eskom Bailout - R496 BILLION
2. State Capture as per Zondo findings R100 BILLION stolen
3. NSFAS Corruption R77 BILLION
4. Transnet Operation Failure R31 BILLION
5. SAA Bailouts R50 BILLION
6. Bloated Cabinet and Ghost employees over R50 BILLION
7. Municipal failed IT projects R12 BILLION
8. South African Post Office failed projects R8 BILLION
9. SANRAL failed projects R50 BILLION
10 Denel capture R9 BILLION.
It can not be stated enough just how bad this messaging is from GHL:
- the FF+ is a natural ally of the DA, not a foe
- it is well known that the DA has lost support to the FF+ because of Steenhuisen’s behaviour, but this will not convince a return
- opinions vary but many consider Groenewald to be the best Minister in the GNU and not any of the DA Minsters. Attacking him comes across as jealous and petty
- the issue being raised by GHL was not created by Groenewald or the FF+, but he is trying to sort it out. Imagine this logic of attack being applied to Macpherson who still has no control over thousands of assets of state owned infrastructure, or Schreiber who has numerically done nothing to stem/reverse illegal immigration
- criticizing someone outside the DA for holding a “talk shop” is very rich when the DA does this exact thing often
- lastly is that Helen Zille will likely be the Mayor of Johannesburg by year end. Just imagine all of the things she will not be able to fix in her first 2 years - GHL just opened the floodgates on hammering her without rebuke
Whomever advised this as a strategy needs to be fired immediately, and the DA really needs to learn how to predict the future consequences of their words and actions better. My goodness.
This is a most concerning development. I don’t blame the Professor. I blame the incompetent leadership in the Gauteng province. Lesufi and Co, must go.
This man is our Minister of Health….the head of the NHI mission. He presides over the healthcare of all South Africans….
He was chosen by Cyril, despite his dismal track record. Never forget.
Once again, evidence of the rank incompetence that permeates this government at every level. People with no skills or expertise put into positions of authority. Nothing works.
The same people want to manage NHI. Every thinking person knows how it will end.
Rape victims are often accused of adultery under Sharia law if they report being raped by married Muslim men.
Here is a shocking example:
A 13-year-old girl in Somalia was raped by a married Muslim man. Instead of punishing the rapist, an Islamic Sharia court sentenced the little girl to death. The Muslim rapist accused her of “seducing” him by appearing in public, and the court agreed — convicting her of adultery.
Hundreds of Muslim men gathered to stone her to death as an offering to Allah.
They laughed, cheered and shouted “Allahu Akbar” as she screamed in agony until her last breath. Not one man stepped forward to save the 13-year-old rape victim.
Everyone in the village heard her cries for help before the execution. Instead of intervening, they tied her hands behind her back and chained her feet. The local imam directed the men to dig a hole and bury her up to her waist so she could not move or dodge the stones aimed at her head.
For hours before and during the stoning she begged for mercy, looking toward her neighbors, her father, and every Muslim man taking part. Until her final breath she cried out, but no one rescued her. Of the hundreds of men present, none showed compassion.
The participants gladly joined this Islamic act of worship, ignoring her pleas and rejoicing with “Allahu Akbar” while brutally killing her.
This is not an isolated barbaric act.
This is Sharia law in practice — where the victim is punished and the rapist protected if he is married.
Not all cultures are equal.
Some protect the innocent.
Islam punishes the raped girl and calls it justice.
The West keeps importing this ideology while pretending it is compatible with our values.
It is not.
Share this. The world must see the true face of Sharia and stop the denial.
Greatest migratory show on Earth, and it's here in Africa. It's now begun, the May to July South African Sardine Run. Pilchards are now moving 1500km from the cold waters of SA's Agulhas Bank northward up the eastern coast toward KwaZulu/Natal in groups (shoals) 32km long and several kilometers wide to make the largest animal migration on the planet by biomass and drawing millions of sharks, dolphins, whales and seagulls who want to eat them!
How did Joburg, the power house city of Africa, get into such a sorry and insolvent state? Morero and Brink should be immediately fired, prosecuted and jailed.

STRAIGHT FROM THE FRONT LINES.
I am a nurse with 12 years’ experience in our public hospitals and I am writing this with a very heavy heart.
I still love my job and I come to work every day wanting to help people, but I can’t anymore. My own colleagues are breaking me down.
Most of the nurses in my ward are only here for the paycheck. They belong to the union and they do the bare minimum. They come late, sit on their phones, ignore patients calling for help, and even shout at old people who are scared and sick.
If I try to do extra, such as wash a patient, finish the notes, or stay late to make sure someone is comfortable, they turn on me. They say I make them look bad and they threaten me.
There is no empathy, no professionalism left. Just laziness, all because they are protected by the union and their relatives.
The hospital bosses are useless. They are deployed cadres who know nothing about healthcare.
Everything is about tenders and friends, while we run out of medicines and patients sleep on the floor. The government people who are supposed to check on us are just as bad, lazy, corrupt, and only put their relatives and comrades in these positions.
I am tired of fighting alone. Every day I see people suffering and dying because basic care is not given.
This is not why I became a nurse.
I have decided I want to leave South Africa.
If President Trump is really offering refuge to South Africans who can’t take it anymore, then I am ready to go. I just want to work somewhere where I can be a proper nurse without being blocked and punished for doing my job.
I am not a traitor. I am simply broken by a system that protects the useless and punishes those who care.

🚨Tembisa Hospital is collapsing in plain sight.
213 vacant posts. No permanent CEO. Severe shortages of doctors, nurses, cleaners and critical medical equipment.
The Gauteng Health Department admits:
⚠️ Ventilator shortages could increase patient deaths
⚠️ Monitor shortages delay detection of deteriorating patients
⚠️ Sterilisation equipment shortages raise infection risks
⚠️ Infusion pump shortages risk overdoses and underdoses
Even basic items like wheelchairs, stretchers and drip stands are missing.
Meanwhile, fire damage from April last year still hasn’t been repaired because of “budget availability” - and the department admits it hasn’t even completed a full assessment of the damage.
This is the same hospital devastated by the R2 billion Tembisa corruption scandal.
Patients suffer. Staff are overwhelmed. The @MYANC government looks away.

In August 2025, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa drew criticism by praising Zimbabwe's land reform, calling its, in part, violent land seizures “essential” and “ambitious” during a speech in Harare.
The seized farms now lie in ruins, with Zimbabwe's economy in the gutter and millions of Zimbabweans starving, many who now reside illegally in South Africa.
How it started vs how it's going.
Hunger isn't fun.

Congratulations on South Africa’s iconic Garden Route being ranked as the world’s best road trip. Stretching along the country’s southern coast, this breathtaking route is renowned for its unique blend of ocean vistas, lush forests and vibrant communities.
So many people I know have been murdered back home in South Africa - or if they’re ‘lucky’ just attacked or robbed.
But this one is utterly senseless.
I grew up with Bruce in Johannesburg. He wouldn’t have hurt a fly. Violence has become so gut-wrenchingly commonplace -but that this genuinely good and kind man was beaten to death in his own home is very very very hard to comprehend.
Unfathomable. Heartbreaking. Utterly shameful
