These black politicians from the so-called "progressive parties" seem to have little to offer in debates beyond pulling the race card. Stop this racial accusation nonsense. Wait until Helen Zille speaks, she brings arguments, identifies problems, talk policies and solutions.
😒 PA leaders jol lekker in France while communities are left behind.
DA leaders? On the ground, doing the work and setting the example in their communities. ✅
On 4 Nov, vote for the party that shows up for you!
Could the GNU government please provide the current status of the 170 refugees who arrived at OR Tambo International Airport last year, with the assistance of Gift of the Givers?
I popped into CT today for The Gathering's election debate . Surprisingly Herman Mashaba accepted. Unsurprisingly, he withdrew. You can't run an election campaign behind a keyboard, Herman. Nor with racial slurs. Let's debate our plans. Joburg deserves rationality.
Malema is dangerous because he is irrational and has no real manifesto, he jumps from issue to issue and will support anyone if it will cause chaos. He is a very silly little man who happens to have fooled some really stupid people into supporting him, he gets wealthy while they run around with their red berets destroying stuff and just being idiots. Malema and the EFF would be destructive anywhere on earth.
Basically Malema is a pathetic little man who has no plan for anything but cusing problems and who is also as corrupt as the ANC.
R100 million a day.
That’s the scale of South Africa’s illicit trade problem.
With government looking to raise R27 billion through VAT, Johnny Moloto asks: shouldn't we tackle the money already being left on the table first?
Watch the full episode now.
Advocate Gerrie Nel said"The ANC was meant to destroy apartheid and revolutionised South Africa but the ANC destroyed South Africa and revolutionised apartheid.
54 days and counting to vote the ANC out of power in all the Metros and towns they currently plunder and destroy. Do not vote ANC ever again. If you do, you are a certifiable imbecile that needs to be locked up.
Special shoutout to @EFFSouthAfrica for recognising the City of Cape Town as the gold standard in service delivery by using a photo of the City’s waste management truck in their manifesto.
You removed a coalition that was working because of your paranoia.
We will never govern EFF, a party that proudly sings about killing people.
We are not like you ASA of wanting to govern at all cost. People of Tshwane will elect Cilliers on November 4th.
Herman Mashaba's public obsession with blocking Helen Zille from becoming the Mayor of Johannesburg perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with South Africa's modern political class.
Mashaba's playground taunt that Zille will not govern the City of Johannesburg (COJ), "including in her next life," exposes a deep ideological rot.
It proves that opposition politics has completely abandoned public service delivery, choosing instead to view local governance as a petty game of career survival, factional gatekeeping, and ego-driven winner versus loser optics.
While the leadership elite trades personalized barbs, the actual citizens of Johannesburg suffer the real world consequences of administrative collapse.
Johannesburg is in a state of ongoing decay, driven by factional wars and the severe collapse of critical infrastructure.
Constant water outages, unmaintained burst pipes, exploding electrical substations, and cratered roads have turned the continent's financial capital into a functional wasteland.
Since Mashaba's original resignation as mayor, the city has been crippled by a revolving door of weak, compromised coalition governments.
Instead of presenting concrete, costed engineering and financial recovery frameworks to fix the broken metro, leaders spend their media briefings debating personal grudges.
Mashaba's fixation on Zille reveals that ActionSA's strategy is heavily weighted toward blocking political rivals rather than building a functional city administration.
Dismissing experienced administrators based purely on identity or political theater ensures that technical capacity is routinely passed over for factional compliance.
Imagine treating mayoral seats as trophies, the COJ mayoral chain is treated like a prize to be won or denied to an enemy, completely ignoring that the office is an executive job meant to manage waste, billing, and electricity grid stability.
You cannot claim you want to "rescue" Johannesburg while actively participating in the hyper fragmentation and chaotic coalition flip-flopping that broke it in the first place.
The frantic political panic over Helen Zille's potential mayoral campaign demonstrates that these politicians are terrified of actual administrative performance standards being introduced into the metro.
Johannesburg is broke and physically crumbling because its leaders operate like high school rivals fighting over popularity.
Until the electorate stops rewarding this dramatic, identity driven narrative spinning, the city will remain trapped in a permanent state of structural decay.
Ethekwini municipality has spent R10billiin in ratepayers money into the Go Durban bus system.
Up to today, there isn't a single bus operating.
Stations are rotting and getting vandalized.
I need you to think about this when we go to the polls in November.
