@News24 Shows you what a hypocrite @CyrilRamaphosa @MYANC is! Hates capitalists, Whites, successful entrepreneurs, America but takes a huge delegation to learn about AI. What a joke.

[In A Nutshell🥜 @Markosonke1]

🚨 HELEN ZILLE HAS JUST GIVEN SOUTH AFRICAN POLITICIANS A MASTERCLASS IN CAMPAIGNING! 🔥

Whether she takes over Joburg or not, she will go down in history as someone who reminded politicians what campaigning is supposed to look like.

At 75, this woman is swimming, spinning, rowing and doing stunts that have some of our younger politicians looking like they need a medical certificate just to attend a rally! 😭😂

I have honestly never seen a 75-year-old politician with this much energy. Even Trump would have to sit down and ask for a glass of water after some of these campaign activities!

But jokes aside, big up to @helenzille and her team. They brought energy, creativity, humour and entertainment into politics.

They understood that campaigning in 2026 is not just about standing behind a microphone, insulting opponents and repeating the same promises every five years.

You have to capture people's attention, make them talk, create memorable moments and get your message out there.

She has turned campaigning into a full-time fun fitness challenge! 😭And the funniest part? AI is free! Every party can use it to create innovative adverts, funny videos and creative campaigns.

Yet some politicians are still campaigning as if social media was invented yesterday.

Whether you support the DA or not, you have to give credit where it's due. Zille and her team have raised the bar, and every political party should be taking notes.

Winning Johannesburg is one thing. Teaching an entire generation how to campaign is another.

You can hate her politics, but you know and saying the truth and u cannot pretend you haven't noticed her campaign.👏🏽😂

@USAmbRSA Don't hold your breath I'm afraid.

@ModiseBafana OMG this is horrendous! The end of sanity & peace is here. These lunatics are going to be the death of us or we'll all have to be subjected to Sharia Law - that is their ultimate aim!

[Kerry van Schalkwyk @kerry_vs]

@peterboghossian Yes, of course!! France can not afford to lose a national / international icon like the Louvre! These barbarians are out of control.

@GuntherEagdn Bravo!

🇮🇪 Far-left pro-Palestine protesters were pepper-sprayed and hit with batons by Irish Police earlier today after trying to break through a Barricade.

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day. Well done to those Police Officers! 👏👏

Thoughts @JessicaTarlov?

[Democratic Alliance @Our_DA]

🚨 The confirmation that Cholera has been found in Tshwane water and Mayor Nasiphi Moya’s admission of negligence in the unfolding public health crisis demand urgent action.

This failure has left hundreds of residents ill and has devastating effects!

Stop the chaos. Start service delivery.

#VoteDA

[Sir Mo @moreki_mo]

Johannesburg deserves a LEADER, not a man who throws tantrums every time @helenzille enters the conversation. @HermanMashaba’s politics increasingly look like personal vendettas dressed up as leadership. The obsession, the petty insults, the emotional outbursts where is the vision?
Helen has a track record in public service, business leadership and fighting corruption. Mashaba offers more noise than substance. Joburg, please choose competence over bitterness. Vote Helen Zille. Leave the political theatrics to Mashaba. #VoteDA #VoetsekActionSA

UPDATE:

SULIMAN CARRIM ARRESTED AFTER FAILING TO APPEAR BEFORE MADLANGA COMMISSION:

Suliman Carrim has been arrested at OR Tambo International Airport, moments before he was due to board an international flight.

The 49-year-old controversial businessman and former ANC North West Regional Treasurer was arrested last night by the Commissions Recommendations Task Team (CRTT) for failing to appear before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

He is expected to appear in the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court this morning.

Carrim previously testified about his business dealings with controversial businessman Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, whose company, Medicare24, was awarded a controversial R360-million SAPS healthcare services tender.

Carrim told the commission about a loan of approximately R10-million to Matlala. His financial dealings and related transactions came under scrutiny during questioning.

However, Carrim’s failure to return for further questioning became a major issue before the commission.

After giving evidence in March, his further testimony was delayed repeatedly because of alleged “health issues”.

The commission raised concerns about his continued absence and his failure to comply with its directives, including a request for an independent medical assessment.

Evidence was led showing him moving around Cape Town - at a time he claimed he was admitted to a medical facility.

His legal representatives maintained that his health concerns were genuine. The commission, however, moved to initiate criminal proceedings after he failed to appear as required. He also failed to undergo an independent medical assessment.

His arrest at OR Tambo now brings the matter before the criminal courts.

The immediate issue is his failure to attend the commission. He faces charges under the Commissions Act. The Commission opened charges with the police weeks ago.

Sources say Carrim is under investigation on a number of fronts. His non-appearance at the Commission is only one element. Tenders awarded to his companies by the North West Govt is also under scrutiny.

Carrim failed to submit details of his auditors and make financial records available to the Commission. This is also the subject of another investigation.

Carrim’s “deals” with controversial business people is the subject of scrutiny.

The SIU, sources say, are also looking into some matters.

So when you upload your tax returns to SARS - but do not click 'Submit' - you have, in fact, validly submitted?

Be very afraid about the state of elections in South Africa. Be more afraid about the state of the judiciary.

[Kerry van Schalkwyk @kerry_vs]

@Martin_ASFL So true! I must remember that next year! Such hypocrisy! Rules for thee but not for me!

[Megan S. @SimplyMegszcpt]

What the heck! The ConCourt has failed SA. The ANC's case was weak. Mbabula stands there bawling like a baby because he knows the people of SA have been failed today. I couldn't hate this party more right now. To threaten the DA, is unconstitutional, undemocratic and asking for trouble. 🇿🇦
