You are a strong courageous women who played a major role in the fight against apartheid. During the apartheid era when it was unfashionable to side with black people you courageously stood up and stood for the poor and marginalised. When the apartheid regime tried to hide the way Steve Biko was kil*ed you EXPOSED them and showed he was beaten to death and did not die of natural causes. It was you Helen who exposed the lies of the apartheid regime.
During the 1980's you were involved in various anti apartheid movements including Black Sash. You are a hero and did more to fight apartheid than many others and nobody can take this away from you. History will never forget how in 2008 you were honoured as WORLD MAYOR OF THE YEAR because of your success in fighting drug abuse amongst other successes in Cape Town.
Helen you played a major part in forming the HISTORIC Government of National Unity.
All parties won't agree on everything. But we have to make it work. ANC did not win the elections and cannot do as they please but we have a President of the GNU as agreed to by all GNU partners in a brilliant man, Cyril Ramaphosa. The GNU members definitely need to talk to each other more privately and find consensus and most definitely won't agree on everything but that's okay. Public spats should completely stop from all sides. We should stop critizing GNU members publicly especially President Cyril Ramaphosa, as this is exactly what Jacob Zuma and his gang of criminals want. Let's not give this to them. We cannot lose our country to the criminals again. You togerher with Cyril Ramaphosa, Fikile Mbalula and John Steenhuisen are key to the success of the GNU.
Going forward can all disagreements no matter what be discussed privately. Seperate to Paul Mashatile's Clearing House Mechanism Can you and @MbalulaFikile
meet every two weeks to discuss issues and disagreements , even if there is nothing to discuss just meet. Talk. Avoid public spats.
Helen, if the GNU fails South Africa fails. Let's all GNU partners work together to make South Africa work without public spats or else we will lose the country to Jacob Zuma, Duduzane Zuma, Mzwanele Manyi, Busisiwe Mkhwebane and gang and we don't want that.
Finally no matter what people say about you, you a strong heroic women who stood against the apartheid regime and millions of South Africans know this and respect you for it.
LETS MAKE GNU WORK
🇿🇦 Needs both a strong ANC and DA.
I have written and spoken often of how much President Cyril Ramaphosa means to me and how deeply I believe he is the the President South Africa needs to go forward now. It's just two months in and we are already seeing major success in the GNU, all thx to Cyril. Cyril is the glue that is holding the GNU together and nobody else could have done it. Thank you Mr. President.
For the GNU to run smoothly with minimum personality glitches getting in the way, some GNU partners may have to take some lessons on how to talk to and about fellow adults in ways that are persuasive and not condescending. Communication and underpinning leadership need to be Ethical, Purpose driven, Impact conscious and reflective of a Commitment to serve all and with all as equals #SADemocracyAt30🇿🇦 #GNULeadership
The truth is there is NO war in Gaza. There is an Israeli army that is slaughtering and starving innocent civilians in a territory under Israel’s occupation and rule that has no army of its own. It is a case of heavily armed soldiers with bombs versus unarmed civilians, now crammed in Rafah where Israel ordered them to go for “safety”. This explains why over 70% of the massacred 32000 are women and children #StandUp4HumanRights #StopTheGenocide in #Gaza
"What has been unfolding in #Palestine today is unconscionable. Any ‘pause’ in a war makes the resumption of hostilities doubly repulsive. It is time for a cease fire, now. It is time to commit to a negotiated way forward, now. Parties to a negotiated pause can become parties to a negotiated cessation. Madiba taught us that.” – Acting CE Verne Harris

A compelling statement by Palestinian UN Representative on Israel’s attack on Gaza children and other civilians plus destruction of homes, social infracture and displacement. Worth listening for a view on the history before October 07 and worrying allegations on Israel’s intention to wipe Palestine from the map #StandUp4HumanRights #StopWarCrimes #SavePalestine

@niehaus_carl This sounds like you & Zuma- it’s great that you removed yourself from the #ANC.
Hopefully our President can restore the #ANC to the purposeful driven party that it was- the liberator of our countrymen, providing dignity & freedom for all.
@niehaus_carl@MYANC Sir, you’ve missed the point- the #ANC’s goal was to liberate our country.
You were part of that- goal was achieved! Our #constitution is a proud product of that.
By not understanding the value of our constitution, it appears that you may have subsequently lost your purpose…
@niehaus_carl@MYANC The #ANC appears to continue fighting for #liberation, getting rid of its corrupt cadres.
Some are however quite delusional, believing that the mismanagement & corruption that resulted in #Eskom’s load shedding, is to blame for the lack of interest #inmycrosshairs.

@niehaus_carl@CyrilRamaphosa Sir, you’re officially the most annoying South African I’ve ever come across.
You’ve not for a second convinced any of us that your actions are in the best interest of our beloved country.
Everything you do is about you.
Hope that we are proven wrong.

Dear @aegeanairlines
I’ve had 5 flights in 1 week, with equal number of “Satisfaction” surveys- your service is amazing, on the flights & in your business lounges!
However, your call center waiting times are shocking, to say the least. Unacceptable.
