President of DR Congo 🇨🇩 has failed Africa and the Congolese people.
While he and his inner circle are becoming richer, the average Congolese person has to use this road to get medicine, food, and other essentials.
When President Félix Tshisekedi visits, he uses a helicopter.
THE 20-YEAR LOCK-IN: HOW THE DA SOLD CAPE TOWN'S POWER TO AN AMERICAN LLC FOR R5.1 BILLION
Have you ever heard of a company called Make A Difference Ventures LLC?
No? Neither has Cape Town. Yet this American-registered company has just been handed a 20-year electricity contract by the City of Cape Town to the tune of R5.1 BILLION.
20 years. Locked. No exit.
WHO ARE THEY? WHO OWNS THEM?
The DA's only excuse is "it's cheaper than Eskom." 40MW solar in Philippi, 19-21% saving, CPI-linked not Eskom-linked. They say it will save R1.7 billion.
That's the sales pitch. Here is the truth:
1. An American LLC owning Cape Town's power.* Not a local cooperative. Not a Cape Flats community project. An LLC - a US structure built to hide beneficial owners. Who are the real shareholders? Who funded them? What are their political connections? The DA-run City has refused to show us the faces behind the LLC.
2. Awarded on deviation.This was not a clean, competitive, transparent tender. Council records show it was approved on deviation in February 2025. Deviation means they bypassed normal supply chain rules. For R5.1 billion.
3. Treasury flagged it.National Treasury itself had to write to the City asking about compliance failures. For a 20-year contract, the public participation process produced ONE comment from the public. One. For R5.1 billion of your electricity money. That is not consultation. That is capture.
4. A 20-year mortgage on your prepaid. The City says it will be funded from the bulk electricity account. That's your money every time you buy electricity. They are gambling that this company will exist, perform, and stay cheaper for two decades until 2046. If it fails, if it under-delivers, if it sells its shares offshore, Cape Town cannot walk away. You are the collateral.
THE DA'S HYPOCRISY
The DA built its brand attacking ANC long-term Eskom deals as corrupt and reckless. Now it signs the exact same model, just in blue.
Foreign company. Massive long-term lock-in. Deviation. Treasury query. Zero transparency.
If this was in Johannesburg under the ANC, Geordin Hill-Lewis would be marching to the Hawks with a dossier.
In Cape Town, it's called "innovation."
Don't be fooled. "Cheaper than Eskom" is not a business plan, it's a slogan. Eskom was also cheap in 1990.
Real energy independence is local, transparent, and publicly owned. This is not independence. This is outsourcing sovereignty to an LLC no one knows, for 20 years, with your money.
Cape Town must demand: Publish the full contract. Publish the owners. Publish the Treasury letter.
Do some digging. Then we share notes.

🚨 ORDINARY CITIZENS ARE HITTING BACK!
Joburg residents are seeing through the DA’s agenda to privatise essential services and they are NOT keeping quiet.
In a city already battling mass unemployment, particularly among black residents, privatisation risks putting even more basic services beyond the reach of the very communities that need them most. It is not just about who runs a service; it is about who can afford to access it and who gets left behind.
The message to voters is blunt: DON’T HAND THE KEYS OF JOBURG TO A PARTY THAT WANTS TO TURN BASIC SERVICES INTO A BUSINESS.
Johannesburg belongs to its people. The people have spoken. Keep the DA OUT of Joburg. This city deserves BETTER. VOTE FOR ACTIONSA!!
#OperationFixJoburg #UnfinishedBusiness
@IvynSambo If eskom had competent CEOs like the current one, this abuse of customers would not have happened... We all want to pay for service delivery, it's when we are choked to pay for Load shedding that this becomes criminal
@ErnstRoets Futsek jou n@#r, jy praat k@k . We shall expose your lies every chance we get. SouthAFRIKA Kan nie belong to julle thieves nie. Go back to Europe
Phakelumthakathi was invited by Basotho in Qwaqwa, they assured him that Nhlanhla Lux doesn't speak for Sotho people. They also said they have a problem of illegal immigrants, and informed him of Somalians who were attacking local activists few weeks back
A 34-year-old Nigerian national has been arrested in Montclair, Durban, for allegedly dealing in drugs.
Members of the Provincial Firearms and Drugs Unit found him in possession of cocaine worth an estimated R30,000 and R5,000 in cash, which he allegedly could not account for.
He is expected to appear in the Durban Magistrate’s Court today, 31 August 2026, facing a charge of dealing in drugs.
@GarethCliff Nah, black South Africans have the same problem. Only difference is India's population is 29 times larger. Take a walk in any black populated area in SA and multiply the litter with 29... It'll look the same if not worse
@Patriot_S_A African culture busterdised by a foreign legal system. And the Chiefs/kings sleeping on the driver's seat. What are they Custodians of if not our culture... Mcm!! 😡🤬
Two Bree Streets. Two very different stories. 👀
In Joburg: chaos, decay and dysfunction.
In Cape Town: clean, safe and thriving.
You decide which party you’d rather walk with. 💙
