Did you know it’s completely ILLEGAL for tuckshops to charge an extra "Speedpoint fee" (R2–R10) to swipe your card, or add extra fees on airtime? 💳
Section 23 of the CPA & banking rules state the shelf price MUST be the price at the till. Surcharging is strictly forbidden.
This widespread trend is a massive regulatory failure—the NCC and banks are asleep at the wheel while consumers get exploited daily by lawless pricing.
Fight back:
1️⃣ Demand the displayed price.
2️⃣ Snap a photo of illegal fee signs.
3️⃣ Report them to the machine provider (Yoco, Flash, or bank) or the Consumer Ombud (CGSO: [email protected]).
Know your rights. Retweet to stop the exploitation! 📢🇿🇦
Today I witnessed something that broke my heart.
A call centre advertised posts in Woodmead.
Thousands of young people arrived.
Among them were my two daughters.
One has an LLB degree.
The other is a qualified graphic designer.
Both graduates.
Both standing in a queue for a call-centre job.
That is the reality of South Africa in 2026.
This is not laziness.
This is not lack of skills.
This is not young people refusing to work.
This is an economy that has collapsed for the working class.
We have seen this pain before.
In Johannesburg, a young woman died in a stampede simply trying to apply for Metro Police posts.
In Cape Town, thousands slept outside a stadium overnight just to submit job applications.
Today it’s call centres.
Tomorrow it will be something else.
Meanwhile ministers sit comfortably and tell young people that they are basking in the sun, totally out of touch with the desperation in our homes.
Our children are qualified.
Our children are willing.
Our children are trying.
But there are no jobs.
South Africa cannot survive like this.
We need:
• public investment
• factories
• infrastructure
• decent work
• an end to austerity
Not empty speeches.
The youth are not failing.
The system is failing them.

South Africa has many problems, but genocide is not one of them. The Trump administration operates on misinformation to advance its own agendas.
