Past 7 days we learnt that the DA:
-Tony Leon is corrupt –John Steenhuisen
-Clean audit lost –Auditor General
-City of Cape Town perpetuates apartheid – Constitutional Court
-City of Cape Town maladministers funds to avoid delivering services to townships –Public Protector
Ah ah ah ah. The saga continues. 🙆🏾♀️
Per this story, concerning a document said to have been submitted by the DA as part of the GNU negotiations, the DA is said to have demanded that Starlink be selected as a LEO service provider. The ANC reportedly said no, that’s not how service providers are appointed.
At the same time, mind you, Amazon was also seeking a licence, so Starlink was not the only player in the game. But because Starlink was a Resolve client, and Tony Leon was part of the GNU negotiations, the ANC is said to have been pressed to give his client preferential political treatment.
If accurate, that would mean a political negotiation was being used to influence what should have been an independent regulatory outcome involving the private client of a political player. The DA would have endorsed that approach. What was allegedly being sought was essentially the substitution of a political process for the independent regulatory process entrusted to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa. A constitutional body.
That is an extraordinary allegation. If true, what would you call it? That would be: corruption. Political interference in an independent institution? An attempt to secure political preference for a private client? Those are serious questions that demand serious answers.
INSANE. I genuinely don’t know what to say. 🤯
I happen to like Geordin. He inherited this, but leadership now owns the response. It needs to be dealt with immediately. He needs to clean house and restore order. Right now, it is chaotic.
The DA also needs to decide who speaks for the party. The messaging has been disastrous, as has the tone. Ryan increasingly acts as the GNU spokesperson. Is that messaging party-approved? Is he authorised to speak on behalf of DA Ministers on here? Do the respective Ministers approve his statements before he posts? Gareth acts as an attack dog, at times positioning himself as speaking on behalf of the DA. There are multiple competing voices, often contradicting one another, and a tone that is crass, dismissive, and quick to label anyone who disagrees as “stupid.” Is that really how the DA wants to communicate with the public? Is that party-sanctioned?
Kubi!
I hope the DA caucus demands answers and insists this is fixed. The longer these questions go unanswered, the greater the damage to the DA’s brand. The longer a clear blue line is not drawn in the sand, the greater the reputational cost.
Good luck.
Our brother has a clear and detailed plan to address a problem our leaders have neglected for years. You’ll never make me hate him or Jacinta. This is what leadership, patriotism and a genuine love for one’s country look like. 🙏🏽🇿🇦
Scooter delivery job doesn’t need a driver to have a bike… RTT partnered with Honda motorcycle and they are facilitating a 3 year rent to buy contracts at a rate of R350 per week
South Africans must acquire bike licenses
Malawi before taking illegal immigrants from South Africa is verifying them.
Zimbabwe is verifying them.
But they want everyone to be accepted without verification in South Africa.
Foreigners arrived in SA, because SA was working. That is what attracts them. Suddenly we can't function without foreigners? The lies we are told by these traitors.
🛢️Brent Crude is trading at USD 72 per barrel right now.
Yet South Africans are still paying R25+ per litre at the pumps?
This makes zero sense.
The Basic Fuel Price is directly linked to international crude + Rand strength. With oil this low, motorists deserve much bigger relief - not crumbs while taxes, levies and margins eat the rest.
Where is the transparency? Why the disconnect between global prices and what we pay? How much lower could it be without the extra taxes/levies?
Time to cut the unnecessary burdens on ordinary South Africans. Fuel is the lifeblood of the economy - lower it properly.

Hello guys we got the reply from @Stellarated department about R500m Spaza Fund PAIA Application .
We made an application to access the list of beneficiaries for the 500 million she got last year to fund the spaza shops . The Small Business Dept responded that they don't have the list as the Fund is administered by NEF. We are in the process of filing another application with NEF. The response from NEF shall determine our next course of action. Credits:@HrhMaNtshingila ❤️.
So when these guys say if the foreigners leave the economy will be affected, what they mean is, their profits are gonna drop coz they’ll have to start paying proper wages and salaries to people who know their rights.
Hi, are you going to update this with the police report that the owner of this vehicle and two others (now in custody) fired shots at passing protesters, injuring two people (including 17y/o) or does that not fit your agenda?
