Political parties are piling pressure on Higher Education Minister Buti Manamela following the last-minute cancellation of a crucial NSFAS oversight meeting in Parliament. DA spokesperson Delmaine Christians says the move points to deepening instability and a lack of accountability. Christians warns that Parliament can’t be side lined on major decisions affecting the most crucial institution.

Missed our story on sewage flooding parts of Sol Plaatjie Municipality? You can get a sneak peek of that stunning investigation on the #CarteBlanche YouTube channel. Now, the @SAHRCommission has urged government to declare a provincial state of disaster in the region.

Home Affairs has delivered a historic victory for the inclusion, equality and dignity of Khoi-San communities, as I today handed over the very first Smart ID containing a traditional Khoi-San name to !Khūboab Lawrence, a first-year student at Stellenbosch.

A month ago, I found out that !Khūboab could not get an ID, because outdated systems could not process all the characters used in his name. We immediately got to work on this long-overlooked injustice. Just four weeks later, we have now enabled the use of traditional Khoi-San names on birth certificates, Smart IDs and Passport for the first time in South African history.

This is the power of digital transformation to deliver dignity for all! 🇿🇦

John Steenhuisen deserves honour and recognition for what he’s achieved as DA leader over the past six years. He took over at a very difficult time for the party, but he steadied the ship, got the DA focused again, and returned us to growth in 2024. 💙👏

He brought opposition parties together ahead of the 2024 election, and then led the DA into national government for the first time. That alone makes him one of the most consequential leaders in our party's history. 🇿🇦

John leaves the Democratic Alliance in a better state than when he took the helm in 2019. It is now up to all of us — every DA member — to build on these foundations and take the party to greater heights. Let us be the hope our country is looking for.

Thank you, John. #ThankYouJohn

John Steenhuisen is a good man who led the DA to its greatest-ever heights and made South Africa a better country.

In 2019, he inherited a party reading its own obituary, in a country in rapid decline. In 2026, he hands over a party that co-governs a country firmly on the up. John Steenhuisen had the courage and vision to take, and land, his Moonshot of leading the DA into national government when very few people believed it could be done.

A leader who empowered rather than feared talent with the best political instincts I have ever seen, the full story of how John reformed the DA into a more constructive, collaborative party building South Africa up, is yet to be told. But first: I look forward to continue working with Minister Steenhuisen in Cabinet to make sure that the worst outbreak of FMD in our country’s history, is also the last 💙🇿🇦

@myncapetv @GaytonMcK @ivandrea @dr_zsaul1 @UNamasun @MbalulaFikile @OnsBaizaNie @TlhaoleShadrack @MbuyiseniNdlozi @helenzille @KhuluPhasiwe This is completely out of context. We are a diverse group, Delmaine Christians-coloured; Belinda Moses-Coloured. Please post the most important position which you have conveniently omitted, Provincial Leader-Isak Fritz, coloured.

The only problem with the ever-increasing matric results is that the international benchmarks tell the exact opposite about the performance of our school system. How does one explain this? As my Free State friends like to say, Ons poep mekaar warm 😊

[John Steenhuisen MP @jsteenhuisen]

It's time to hit the streets SA! We can't sit back and take hyper inflationary increases!

Far too many citizens are barely able to keep their heads above water. This 18% NERSA increase is like a government jackboot pushing more of us under the surface. We’ll announce plans soon.

Removing self-defence as a reason to own a gun following the unprecedented unrest SA has witnessed is not only reckless, but it also puts many innocent civilians at the mercy of criminals.

Reject Bheki Cele's disastrous gun bill, sign our petition now on https://t.co/itl6ZJqfwJ.

I have to believe humanity can do better. Maybe it can all start with just one act of kindness today.
