While it is our constitutional right to protest, we equally recognize that there are forces who seek to exploit these moments to advance their own agendas.
I call on everyone marching tomorrow to act lawfully and keep to the message.
With the DA’s former leader saying that Tony Leon’s PR company is forcing DA ministers to give tenders to DA donors, we now need to investigate Cape Town’s tender system.
We need answers. It seems the DA is the same as the ANC.
I’m still bothered by the fact that a DA controlled Department of Basic Education. Dished a tender worth 1.6 Billion to a Kenyan national and a white “South African” and the tender procedure was flawed and the company was registered mere months ago. No SIU pronounce nix. 🫤
South Africa has one of the highest reported violent crime rates globally, yet this level of security deployment is rarely seen in everyday communities where crime is most severe. The scale of policing, intelligence coordination and private security mobilization being prepared for the 30th of June raises a serious question about priorities.
Ordinary South Africans continue to live with daily exposure to violent crime, while comparable urgency and capacity are not consistently applied to long term crime prevention and community safety.
This contrast leads to an uncomfortable but necessary question about political will.
In all the countries I've traveled to around the world, I've never been to one where the government prioritises foreign nationals over its own citizens.
I've also never been to a country that would allow me to stay even one extra day after my visa had expired.
It’s annoying to see resources being pulled out against South Africans. When South Africans need help with gangsterism, extortionists, human trafficking etc, you don’t see these
Mara when it’s time to spray and shoot citizens with rubber bullets? The state gets excited.
Thando isn't Palestine being stolen and Palestinians killed by the people they welcomed in their country? Ukhumbule ukuba ngabantu bokufika aba what are the chances we won't end up like Palestine again ? We've already had that happen, would you like it to repeat itself?
Our government is reactive because they’re all out of touch with the lives of the people they’re meant to be serving.
Always reactive never ever proactive.
They’re out of touch with reality.
This woman was paying her illegal Zimbabwean workers R75 a day, working 12 hour shifts, without UIF, without COIDA, without sick leave & maternity leave. they never complained for 20 years
That's what she means when she says "they are exceptionally smart and hardworking" 💀💀
Did you know?
Allegedly some of her employees were as young as 16 years old 💔
Instead of being in school back in Zimbabwe they were working night and day for her 💔
Arrest this bastard for human trafficking and child labour.
The good worker = Zimbabwean. Hard working, intelligent, diligent. The bad worker = SAn. Disrespectful, lazy, always misses work on Mondays. This has been the binary framing of workers by business for years. Anti-xenophobia work lacks a theory of capital as an atomising force.
