Jimmy Mohlala (44)
He was a South African politician, and speaker of the Mbombela local municipality. Early 2008 he blew the whistle on alleged tender irregularities involving Mbombela municipal manager and the awarding of R1.2 billion construction contracts for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
On the 4th of January 2009, armed men confronted him and his 19 year old son outside their home in KaNyamazane, Mpumalanga. His son was shot in the ankle and then they fatally shot him as he tried to flee, he passed away on the way to the hospital. No one has been convicted of his murder and the case remains one of SA's well known political assassination cases.
His family has continued to seek justice.💔🇿🇦
In Africa several countries DO NOT allow women to give Foreign men citizenship, it’s only the men who are allowed to including Nigeria and Somalia 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ it’s so bad that even their children don’t get citizenship if the father is a foreigner… but when South Africans say it the very same foreign men act like South Africans are XENOPHOBIC for wanting the same!!!
This just shows how much @Leon_Schreib is failing at his job as a minister of home affairs His incompetence and inability is beyond comprehension.
Also it’s shows that we are a lawless country because how is @mmkubayi as a minister of justice allowing this girl to dance over their heads . The world is watching how much of a joke you’ve turned into. How did the girl who got deported manage to re-entry South Africa @Leon_Schreib and @mmkubayi ?
🚨SITUATION RIGHT NOW: African governments should be ashamed of themselves. We must face the reality that we are all dealing with criminal syndicates masquerading as governments 😡👹‼️‼️‼️‼️
Daphne Joy breaks down in tears after claiming Jay-Z and Beyoncé paid her $250K for a threesome and begged her to keep it secret, but says she's speaking out before it leaks because the money was far too little to stay silent forever. 😳
"Beyoncé couldn't let me go that night."
"The money was too small to keep quiet."

The Minister of Basic Education, Ms. Siviwe Gwarube @Siviwe_G speaks honestly about the public’s frustration with poor service delivery, the loss of trust in government, and the urgent need for leaders to do better.
A powerful conversation on accountability, leadership, and what it means to serve people properly.
Full episode drops Friday 7am CAT.
Sometimes you have to think about your health when it comes to what you eat. 🍏🥗 Weekends are usually hectic and filled with indulgence, so weekdays are my chance to reset, refocus, and redeem my health. Small daily choices lead to big results. @adidasza in the cut😎
If a presidential election were held today and my only choices were Elon Musk and Patrice Motsepe, I would abstain. I would not vote for either. Not because I lack conviction, but because both represent what is wrong with leadership profit over people, self-interest over service, and a complete disconnect from the struggles of ordinary citizens.
Elon Musk is a brilliant innovator, but he is not a leader of people. He is a capitalist who has built empires on the backs of workers, who has mocked the very concept of empathy, and who has shown little regard for the communities that make his wealth possible. He is not South African in spirit. He is South African by birth. He would not know the pain of our people, he’s a prodigy of apartheid. He would not serve our people. He would serve his ego and his bank account.
Patrice Motsepe is a successful businessman and a philanthropist. He has given back. He has built infrastructure, funded education, and supported the arts. He is a symbol of black excellence. But is he a leader of a nation? Is he willing to stand up against the forces that have stolen our future? Is he willing to make the hard decisions to secure our borders, to confront corruption, to prioritise our people over profit? I am not convinced. He is part of the establishment that has failed us. He is comfortable. And comfort does not breed revolution. His pan-Africanism ideologies are misguided, for as long as African people are still living in poverty we shall have no pan-Africanism nonsense of a movement. For as long as African leaders are calling each other out for the atrocities committed in their countries by their incompetence to lead and govern as well as provide for their people, there shall be no pan/africanism….
So I abstain. Not out of apathy. Out of principle. Because our choices should not be between two billionaire who will always put their interests over people, never felt the sting of what below poverty line actually means , never been denied a job because of their skin or their accent. Our leaders should come from the people. They should have walked the streets of Soweto. They should have queued at Home Affairs. They should have felt the pain of a broken system.
I will not choose between two men who profit from the very system that oppresses us. we will have a candidate who represents us not capital, not ego, not convenience. A candidate who is one of us. Until then, I abstain. Because my vote is not for sale. And neither is my country.
You speak of documented foreigners, of legal status, of businesses and contributions but what businesses and what contributions? Why not set up those businesses in your home countries, how do you travel 1000s of kilometres to open a spaza shop, be a street vendor, salon, a church in someone’s country Uthini wena! You are not even talking about the 2025 proposed new bill in your country Kenya, that proposes to create a powerful new legal framework to force foreign companies to "buy Kenyan and hire Kenyan". And you are right those who are here legally, who follow the rules, who pay taxes and employ people, are not the problem for as long as it’s businesses that add value like MTN, Shoprite etc, but if it’s an informal business, than it’s a no from us. But you are deliberately conflating the legal with the illegal, the documented with the undocumented, to deflect from the real issue. And you know it. Your African people abuse our systems, they overstay, they lie about their reasons to being in our country, they are not critical scarce skilled workers, they are simply rejects who undercut South Africans in the sectors that we are fighting to protect. Being a driver, a waiter, or a plumber is not a scarce skills, we even have over 3000 unemployed doctors. So enough is enough.
Our constitution gives us the right to protest. It gives us the right to demand accountability from our own government, and from those who enter our country unlawfully. South Africans are not harassing documented foreigners. We are saying: enforce the law. Secure the borders. Deport the illegal. Stop making us carry the burden of every failed state on the continent.
You say we should direct our anger at our institutions. We have been and we are. We march against Home Affairs, March on March has been handing memorandums to the offices of government with every march. We protest against corruption. We vote against incompetent leaders. But you cannot separate the institutions from the people they fail to manage. When our borders are porous, when illegal immigrants flood our clinics and schools, when crime syndicates operate with impunity we are allowed to be angry. We are allowed to speak. We are allowed to act within the bounds of the law, including citizens' arrest where applicable.
Now let me ask you, where is your accountability? Where is your protest against your own leaders? Where is your outrage at your own corruption, your own tribalism, your own dictators? Kenya runs to the West for investment partnering with the US while claiming independence. You have mining industries, but who controls them? Not Kenyans. Foreign companies. You have no white minority to blame, yet you still fail. So why is South Africa always the target?
African countries have long failed because of tribalism ethnic divisions that prevent unity, that block economic development, that allow dictators to cling to power for decades. People migrate because of failed policies and incompetent leaders yet those countries are never blamed. Africans blames South Africa but their own countries. You blame South Africa. But when have you ever looked at yourselves?
African people are not hopeless. But they are frustrating. They run from their countries instead of fixing them. They cry xenophobia instead of demanding accountability from their own leaders. They expect South Africa to be their saviour while they refuse to save themselves.
We are done with taking responsibility for people that aren’t and shouldn’t be our problem. Done carrying your burden. Done being lectured by people who cannot fix their own homes and look within, asking reflective questions about why are their people running away from home. Secure your borders. Hold your leaders accountable. Build your own countries. Then talk to us. Until then, your words are hollow. And we are not listening. Just don’t talk about South Africa anymore, focus on your own countries tog.
Let me respond to you calmly, with dignity because nginobuntu, and with the weight of truth you have clearly never been taught. You are a journalist, tweeting from the United States, yet you claim to speak for Nigeria. You call for South African leaders to speak out against "hatred," yet you remain silent on the tribalism that is tearing your own country apart, that has been tearing your country for 65 years!. Let me educate you🤔
Nigeria is a country of over 250 ethnic groups. The three largest Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba, and Igbo have been locked in a perpetual struggle for power, resources, and influence. This tribalism is not a relic of the past. It is alive and destructive. In the North, Boko Haram and banditry have killed thousands. In the South-East, separatist movements like IPOB clash with federal forces. In the South-South, militancy over oil resources continues unabated. These are not random conflicts. They are rooted in ethnic identity, regional exclusion, and the failure of your leaders to build a united nation.
Since independence, Nigeria has been plagued by ethnic violence, military coups, and a civil war that claimed over a million lives all because your people could not agree to be one nation. And what has changed? Today, your leaders still allocate resources along ethnic lines. Your police force is accused of ethnic profiling. Your politicians campaign on regional identity rather than national unity. This is the reality you refuse to confront.
Yet here you are, tweeting from America, lecturing South Africa about "hatred." You are a journalist, but you are not honest. You are a Nigerian, but you are not brave. You ran away from your country, you sit in comfort abroad, and you demand that South Africans be better than your own people have ever been.
Let me tell you where South Africans stand. We are not perfect. We have our divisions, racial, economic, political. But we do not kill each other over tribe. We do not flee our country in droves. We stay and confront our realities and we are currently doing that, we fight, we build. And when we see our leaders fail, we protest , not run to America or other countries to tweet about others.
You want Julius Malema to speak out? He does. Every day. He speaks about land, about economic freedom, about sovereignty. But he is not responsible for your country. He does not speak for Nigerians in Nigeria. Not once have I ever heard him reprimand African leaders for their crimes against poor people in their countries in they way they lead and govern, not once has he spoken about how unconstitutional your countries are, and guess what, he’s been quiet about the children that were abducted by militant groups in your country, he has been quiet about the abuse of political and economical power by useless African leaders. Your leaders are and should be responsible for their own people. We cannot justify incompetence! And you are responsible for holding them accountable.
So sit down. Look and dive deep into Africa and you will realise we are not your enemy, you are. Stop lecturing South Africa from your American sofa. Go home. Fight your tribalism. Unite your people. Demand accountability from your leaders. Then and only then can you talk to us about hatred, about unity, about the continent.
Until then, you are not a journalist. You are a propagandist. Not a truth-teller. A coward. And we have heard enough. Now be quiet. And stay quiet.
