Last time I checked there’s a rather large difference between service delivery and heavy rainfall 🤷🏼‍♀️

[ANC SECRETARY GENERAL | Fikile Mbalula @MbalulaFikile]

This is Du Noon, Ward 104 where recently we won a by-election. It’s been raining heavily in Cape Town. One wonders how the DA-led city will respond to the flooding crisis in many working class neighbourhoods.

They will probably be silent. They will not do the drama they did in Joburg 🛶
Maybe we have an opportunity to build our own narrative.

@CityPowerJhb - outage in Craighall Park; ETA on resolution?

[Meg Stirk @Meg_Stirk]

@CityPowerJhb - no power in Rothesay Avenue, Craighall Park. Please advise on when this will be resolved?

[Meg Stirk @Meg_Stirk]

@jsteenhuisen You’re a disgrace and a huge let down. You’ve let the farmers down when they need urgency and the so called “DA way” the most. Wish you all the best in the next elections - the farmers have had it and you’re to blame as food security plummets.

[Meg Stirk @Meg_Stirk]

@Hilgardneethlin @jsteenhuisen It already has and @jsteenhuisen is offering no urgency to address as promised last year. No vaccines - nothing, just a BS 10 year plan or other. DA must enjoy the next elections, cause he’s single handedly just lost the farming support.

@AdvoBarryRoux It’s a standard payment method offered by all banks (and all over the world)- look up Dynamic Currency Conversion.

Hello South Africa.

I am BBBEE.
Born in hope, raised in corruption.

I steal your taxes.
I choke your future.
I empower the few,
and chain the many.

I was meant to lift you
I learned to loot you.

You know what must be done.
The ANC will try to save me.

I need you to END me.
For good. Forever.

The DA’s bill is actually called the “Economic Inclusion for All Bill”😏

Either way, the vexatious DA must be stopped—even if it means having them frogmarched out of the speeding, derailing GNU Gravy Train😡

We cannot have a situation where the ANC’s very successful race-based preferential procurement, aka B-BBEE is done away with just like that and be replaced with an outcomes-driven system focused on social impact and value-for-money instead of the current, effective get-rich-quick schemes for a select few. We allow the DA’s insanity to prevail, we won’t produce another Black Industrialist like Morgan Hangwani Maumela, for example.

Amandla, Viva and such, Comrades✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

[Mmusi Maimane MP @MmusiMaimane]

Why is Hangwani Maumela not facing criminal charges @NPA_Prosecutes. I saw reporting from @News24 that he even bought a R55 million super car with Thembisa Hospital money. This is a mockery of the justice system.

[Meg Stirk @Meg_Stirk]

@HermanMashaba And what is your plan exactly?

You sold Joburg out to the ANC. You’ve got nothing to stand on.

[Thami Masemola @ThamiMasemola]

BREAKING: The Khayalami Grand Prix Circuit in Midrand, has been granted the right to host the next Formula One Grand Prix in Mzansi. Cabinet approaved that bid, which will be supported by the private sector. The Grand Prix itself will return in 2027 until 2029, pending renewal.

One sharp home truths from RW Johnson

[John Steenhuisen MP @jsteenhuisen]

It was a pleasure to be at the Frontier Bonsmara Farmers Day in the heart of the Eastern Cape, among some of the finest cattle producers in South Africa.

I want to thank all our farmers for the work they do, day in and day out, to keep this critical sector of our economy alive, competitive, and growing. In 2024, the gross value of cattle slaughtered was a whopping R37.3 billion, up from R20.5 billion in 2013.

Bonsmara is not just South Africa’s most widely bred beef breed, it’s also a breed in demand globally. Whether in Africa or beyond, South African Bonsmara genetics are being exported as foundational stock for commercial herds.

“Farmers are land rich and cash poor. So we ended the estate tax. When a parent leaves a farm to the kids, they do not have to worry about their local banker coming in and stealing their farm.”

@CityPowerJhb what is going on with Craighall Park power? This was reported multiple times 2 hours ago and nothing!
