My problem with South Africa and its policy makers is that you want to leapfrog to first world solutions without ever having successfully addressed the structural 3rd world problems.
1. If you want to tax people for consuming sugar, regulate the market in a way that makes choosing healthier alternatives accessible and affordable. You could literally put a 50% sugar tax on the price of a 2L Coke and it would still be cheaper than fresh fruit juice. A free market system must be just. It cannot be purely left to the market to determine prices. The demand for healthy alternatives is there, the affordability isn’t.
2. If you want to curb the sedentary lifestyle that causes the chronic conditions that ultimately strain the public health sector, then develop towns and cities with infrastructure that enables people to walk or ride around the neighbourhood, and even to their places of work. Absolutely NOWHERE is safe to ride a bike in Gauteng. And a bike ride to work should not be the equivalent distance of training for the Cape Augus cycle tour.
3. Stop perpetuating apartheid spacial planning by building government housing on the outskirts of economic hubs. The approval of property development in affluent areas must be conditional on the provision of affordable housing in the same developments, subsidised by government.
Can’t reach first world outcomes if we can’t even get the basics right.
Let’s make this go viral.

This incompetent government grants bail to foreigners who are illegal in the country and has no data to show how many foreigners who are granted bail but never reappear in court.
We will keep exposing their incompetence!!
So let’s get this straight Minister.
Thousands of foreign nationals are appearing in our courts, but when Parliament asks how many were granted bail and then disappeared, the answer is: "We don't keep that information."
When asked how many are in the country legally versus illegally: "We don't know that either."
If the @DOJCD_ZA cannot track foreign nationals who enter the criminal justice system, then who exactly is keeping score?

South Africa is that country

🧵 Someone recently said that “healthy eating” has become too Westernised and I fully agree! So, I wanted to share some local, affordable, and healthy food staples we enjoy here in South Africa. Let’s start with protein, carbs, and fats that are accessible in most communities (1)
This morning in Hammanskraal, 53 illegal immigrants were arrested while traveling on a bus. Of those, 17 females, 1 male, and 16 children were deported back to Zimbabwe, and 19 were detained at the Hammanskraal police station.
I repeat, we have a national crisis!
