It's also the first time Commissioners tell a witness that they MUST BE PROSECUTED.
Commissioner Baloyi: "You broke the law, you used police officers to do business for a private citizen who pays them, all four of you should be prosecuted."

🎈‼️🔥 Witnesses please! When those Commissioners ask you questions, they already know the answer. When they ask you Who is DD? They already know who's DD.

20 years ago, An Inconvenient Truth put climate change at the center of global debate, shaping politics, influencing leaders, and inspiring a generation of activists.

Two decades later, we can assess not just its impact, but its accuracy. Many of the film’s most alarming predictions did not materialize, while many of the policies it inspired have proven costly and ineffective.

The lesson? Panic is a poor guide for public policy. Focusing on innovation, adaptation, and economic development can do far more to help both people and the climate—at a fraction of the cost.

But this party has still not told South Africans what happened to the original fuel reserves that SA had.
Was it stolen ?

We await an explanation from this Minister.

Dada Morero must surely go down as the current master of “Putting Lipstick on a Pig”. His drivel on the CoJ’s finances, is hysterical. Sigh: City manager tells Parliament Joburg is financially sound https://t.co/IhgHV5zap9

There is no fixing the ANC.

South Africa needs policymakers who want citizens to become richer, freer and more independent.

Not poorer, more dependent and easier to control.

10 cars. 5 motorbikes. ONE Deputy President. 🚔🏍️

Every time Deputy President Paul Mashatile hits the road, taxpayers are footing the bill for a massive blue-light convoy.

Some say it’s a non-negotiable cost to protect the state, especially after real security scares like the N12 shooting incident. But with local police stations strapped for cash and regular citizens facing high crime daily, many are asking: is this a necessary shield, or pure political entitlement? 💸

When do we draw the line between national security and wasting taxpayer money?

PMB MAYOR TAKING BRIBES FROM SOMALIS AND ETHIOPIANS.

A very disturbing and an unexpected incident happened at Pietermaritzburg when a group of Somalis crashed into a council meeting and started shouting at the Mayor. They accused him and his Deputy of not protecting them despite the fact that they were being paid R500,000 every month. The Honorable Mayor, Councillor Thebolla Mzimkhulu and his Deputy, Mxolisi Mkhize, had no where to hide as the Somalis were all over the place demanding to know their money's worth.

They say to them, "We are feeding you, and every month we give more than R500,000 to each of you, because you said you were going to fix our water and electricity matter that we owe to the municipality. But you are also the ones who go to Parliament and say you don't know us as we owe the municipality more than R83 million." The Somalis at Maritz Street or Pietermaritz Street also pay R5 million to the Mayor for protection. The Mayor's body guard collects the money from Somalis every month.

Our country is rotten to the core. The people in the leadership positions are protecting these illegal foreigners because they pay them. All those leaders who are protecting illegal foreigners and see no reason for them to go are being paid exorbitant amounts of money. They stomach politicians are protecting illegal foreigners @GovernmentZA @PresidencyZA @ParliamentofRSA @HomeAffairsSA @TheBMA_SA @Our_DA @EFFSouthAfrica @SAPoliceService @SANDF_ZA @JoburgMPD @mayibuye_afrika @ConCourtSA @SAHRCommission @sarstax

Why don't they call law enforcement. June the 30th is going to be one big disaster, that this country can do without. The mobilization of these protesters over the months, especially into different provinces, tells me there is something more going on here. It's the same MO used before the 2021 insurrection. 🇿🇦

Today, women in Afghanistan are being shot in the streets simply for anting an education, wanting a job. Wanting to work and wanting to walk outside without a man's permission.

Taliban security forces killed one person and several wounded. Dozens arrested including women and girls.

It started last Friday, when Taliban imams announced from mosque loudspeakers that women were forbidden from leaving their homes without full hijab, including face cover.

Morality police flooded Herat's streets, markets, and shopping centers, batons in hand, arresting women for their clothing.

Just one day after some men in the West rolled out the red carpet for the Taliban, normalizing them, legitimizing them, shaking their hands, you can see how savagely women being shot and beaten up in the streets.

Thank Mbeki and his crew need to tell South Africans 🇿🇦 WHY they shut down nursing and teacher colleges, AND factories which used to upskill and employ citizens across country!!

Now its their citizens fault that they lack skills and they are unemployed😴💔

[Wayne Duvenage @wayneduv]

And this same Dada Morero has been part of the Executive team at @CityofJoburgZA , previously as a Mayor and as the MEC for Finance. So he cannot make out now that he hasn’t been aware of the losses and inefficiencies by the CoJ for all these years
