π¨ South Africans please share these videos as widely as possible π¨ corrupt police officers in Eastern Cape have shot & killed a young man in broad daylight π¨
Although the videos are long, they capture a police incident that happened in the Eastern Cape, around Idutywa.
A young black man was stopped by the police while driving fortunately his car was fitted with cameras that recorded everything. The officers instructed him to follow them to Idutywa Police Station & he complied.
However, somewhere along the way, they stopped. They instructed him to get out of his vehicle & leave it behind. As you can see in the footage, his car was still idlinghe then got into the front of the police double cab while another person came & drove his vehicle away.
What makes the footage even more disturbing is the audio in the last video, where the officers can allegedly be heard discussing what appears to be a plan to cover up his killing by claiming that he jumped out & ran away.
The footage also appears to capture the moments surrounding the shooting, the young man was reportedly unarmed. His vehicle was parked next to the road & the circumstances surrounding his death need to be thoroughly investigated.
Please share these videos widely so they can reach the government, the relevant authorities, crime intelligence, the PKTT & everyone who can help this young man's family get answers & justice.
One thing about local government elections is that even the mighty can feel the wrath of communities. In the Northern Cape, there's a community party called Rise Tsantsabane Community. They contested their local municipality and took every single ward πππ. They ate and left no crumbs..
These are some of the reasons why I have a problem with the idea that we have too many parties
@phethani4 I personally wish that local elections will be dominated by independents or parties that only operate in that area like team Shuga in Newcastle unfortunately big parties got the kicked out of IEC
I'm realizing that we didn't love the ANC the same. To us it was a church, it was sacrosanct, it was an institution for black people's freedom and upliftment. To others it was an opportunity to get rich and exercise power. There are some who would rather it die in their hands , then release it because for them it is a livelihood....to us it was a philosophy.
@onscryn The bill about exempting pensioners from rate does exist it's called pensioner property rate relief so EFF was jst reaching with that bill
When it comes to insourcing Actions SA has implemented it on security, cleaning and water delivery
Political parties that manipulate the frustrations of South Africans by falsely promising to chase foreigners away will soon be chased out of office by the very people who voted for them.
In America, Donald Trump won elections by promising to build a wall to keep immigrants out.
His administration took videos of children held in cages at the border. Immigration officers carried out βraidsβ in the streets with television cameras following them. When conducting their raids, they would even bring along TV personalities like Dr Phil to film the arrests. Arresting people became a show for an audience.
These are the same tricks we see in South Africa, where politicians arrive with cameras to perform βraidsβ for social media, making a spectacle, and calling it delivery, only for those same immigrants to come back tomorrow when the cameras are switched off.
However, the recent loss of the Republicans in the Midterm Elections in America is proof that you cannot fool and trick voters forever. In the end the people want to see their lives improve, not slogans.
They want jobs, they want dignified and affordable housing. They want access to healthcare, they want safe communities, and they want education and a future for their children.
You cannot put a wall on the dinner table. Chasing an immigrant away does not mean your food prices will come down, or a factory will be built to create jobs.
The same can be said about elections in Australia. Peter Dutton enjoyed a lot of support, singing the same song of chasing foreigners away. But, eventually his party lost badly! He even lost his own seat.
We can even talk about how Lula defeated right winger Bolsonaro, with a message that spoke to hunger, poverty and the needs of ordinary families.
South African politicians who are copying these tricks must learn from what is happening in the world. A video of a raid may get you a thousands of likes, today, but it will not feed the people who voted for you.
Sooner or later, the people will get tired of the theatrics and demand jobs, houses, running water, and education for their children.
Our people are angry because life is hard. Those who use peopleβs anger to fool them for votes will one day face that anger themselves. The same people who cheered you into office can vote you out.
Honest political activists must not get tired. We must fight very hard for real improvements in the lives of our people.
Fight for education, fight for jobs, fight for decent housing, healthcare, running water, affordable food prices, financial security and safe communities. As it is happening across the world, we will win our people back with honest and sincere politics. Not politics of hate and deception.
EFF champions the inscourcing SAns who are exploited by the tender system. Proposed for pensioners to be exempt from paying rates, proposed for unemployed professionals to be exempted from paying council fees
Twitter wants us to believe shouting "abahambe" is putting SAns first
