LAND FIRST.

[Gen Jean-Jacques Dessalines @MxolisiBob]

South African state is far too small for the size of population, not to mention the size of the land.

This country is over 10 times the size of England in land size with equivalent population but less than a third in terms of the public sector.

normal ordinary things are being framed as revolutionary because the anc has such low standards. how is a woman working news-worthy?

South Africa's unemployment rate is higher than during the great depression in the US. Higher than when the Greece economy completely collapsed. Higher than when Spain experienced it's economic crisis.

[@DumaGqubule @DumaGqubule]

This useless government of neoliberal unity does not care about jobs. The unemployment rate for African women is 53.1%. as i always say the jobs crisis is a macroeconomic policy issue. End of story. we need a new finance minister and Sarb governor

People who are pro-privatisation aren't even good quality capitalists. Isn't capitalism about risk and entrepreneurship, why do you wanna privatise SAA ? real capitalists like Richard Branson started Virgin Atlantic, what's stopping you other than a lack of true industriousness ?

[Irfaan Mangera 🍉🇿🇦 @IrfaanMangera]

There is no path to shared prosperity by turning public goods/essential services into opportunities for private profit.The answer to a failing state is not to sell it off but to build a capable state that delivers quality services, invests in people,puts public good before profit

I still remember how Capitec's founder funded the DA and then the DA in the Home Affairs portfolio used Capitec to handle IDs.

Fidel actually was correct when he said “Capitalism has neither the capacity, nor the morality, nor the ethics to solve the problems of poverty”

[Melo Magolego @melomagolego]

People don't want nuclear. People don't want coal.

Mara they want electricity 24/7, while consuming industrial outputs which are produced using continuous electricity processes.

Eintlik, eintlik what do people want, he?

South Africa is under siege and we are not aware. 🤞🏾

They've failed on literally every point in Cape Town!

The Democratic Alliance will never be an alternative. It continues to show us through its policy choices and pronouncements, what it would subject us to if it would win an election.

[Wiesie de Kock @wiesiede]

Worth while noting that even if they fail, its difficult to reverse privatisation of public services. The DA is on a massive push to privatise all municipal services.

@LukhonaMnguni i am opposed to this neoliberal restructuring. also electricity is a public good and we must take profit out of it

The majority of private schools in South Africa are just a fleecing mechanism, the standards are way below public schools which were deemed "Whites Only" before 1991.

The owner of this platform is from a public school in South Africa

Bring Chinese investment, yes but negotiate from a position of strength. Demand genuine technology transfer, train South African engineers, develop local suppliers, build South African ownership and ensure that the knowledge stays HERE or we’ll always remain consumers.

🚨 Broadcaster on the GOAT debate:

"There doesn’t seem to be a GOAT debate anymore. Maybe years ago, and even then I was always Team Messi. Messi answered the GOAT debate long ago. This guy has transcended the game."

The broadcaster cooked with these words 🔥
