JUNE 30 PROTESTS | Justice Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi has urged anyone with information about Home Affairs officials taking bribes to report it to the state so the matter can be properly addressed.
@TamarSussex Just the other day a person in a shack was kicked out without a days notice to accommodate a Malawian. She was paying R800. So who is this person renting our shacks?
Funny how they’re never this visible.

South African
The highest paid politicians in the World…
Pigs at the trough, but millions are going hungry.
Highest unemployment rate.
SA is formally classified as a constitutional parliamentary republic, but political economists, sociologists, and civil rights groups widely describe it as functioning as an oligarchy. Critics argue that a small, wealthy, and politically connected elite disproportionately controls state and economic operations.
We need a change.
R407 billion.
That is how much South Africa's government spent irregularly between 2018 and 2024. Before you count the bailouts. Before the kickbacks. Before the Lottery money that simply disappeared.
Want some perspective?
It is enough to employ every unemployed qualified teacher in this country for the next 15 years.
It is enough to build hundreds of fully equipped public hospitals.
It is enough to fix the infrastructure in every failing municipality.
It is enough to give the National Health Insurance a genuine fighting chance.
Instead, we have software licences bought for computers nobody switched on.
Properties rented for departments that never moved in.
Contractors paid in full who delivered absolutely nothing.
And after all of it, the same line at the podium:
"We don't have the resources."
South Africa is not a poor country that cannot afford to function. It is a country whose resources are being redirected while the people who need those resources are told to be patient.
But patience has a price.
And right now, it is being paid by the child in the overcrowded classroom, the patient on the hospital floor, and the family in the dark.
The money existed.
The question is who it served.
