You steal pensions, crash the economy, and then lecture about ‘patriotism’? The only thing your party is patriotic about is looting. Spare us the moral theatre, Sinawo, everyone knows you’re just the PR wing for theft.
There is no patriotism with peddler’s of fake genocide in SA and racists. Thank you Khamzat. Free Palestine.

Maphwanya has to be fired immediately. The military's creeping meddling with political affairs is highly dangerous and a threat to our constitution.

Nescafé and Jacobs almost doubled their price in a year (R89,90 to R149.90) Will they reward the South African consumer now that prices have dropped or be greedy?
BREAKING 🚨: Coffee Coffee falls to its lowest price since November 📉 Congrats everyone, enjoy ☕️☕️

Deputy President Paul Mashatile propose 'war room' to tackle poverty, joblessness. No new government structure will work, unless officials held accountable: fired, personally liable, prosecuted for wrongdoing. Adopt merit-based appointments and tenders. enca.com/videos/discussion-m…

So Floyd Shivambu has been redeployed for contravening MKP rules by visiting the fugitive Bushiri. Party president Jacob Zuma says this is to respect MKP voters. So, he is sending him the rule breaker to the institution that makes the rules for all of us???. #702Breakfast

Nearly 300 kids not placed in GP schools. It's the 6th May! Their families say they did all that was required of them but were ignored. With overcrowded classrooms and equipment shortages, the same GP Education spent R450bn+ spraying empty schools during Covid #702Breakfast

Unfortunately @CyrilRamaphosa sir if you don’t take charge of the situation then someone else will. Very few of us want Afriforum pushing their agenda but if this issue is important to the government then you would have been there instead. We need favour from the US. Truth!
Our ability to solve our own problems confirms our sovereignty as a free, independent and proud nation.

The obvious alternative to SA’s proposed 2% increase in VAT is for the President to instruct each Minister to cut a mere 2.5% of their planned spending. Given how much wasteful expenditure Elon is uncovering in the US this has to very achievable in SA. That equals the VAT hike

I can also confidently confirm that the Minister @Leon_Schreib is a South African that has never even been to Zimbabwe ever, the foreigner accusation is pure propaganda , we spoke at length about his upbringing. The GNU will change SA.

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.

*After 14 years in power, this is how former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte left the Prime Minister’s Office after completing the ceremony of officially handing over power to his successor, Dick Schoof. He did not leave the building at the age of ninety, he did not leave the building to the grave, he did not leave the building to prison after a bloody revolution, he did not leave with his bank accounts full of billions, and finally, he did not leave accompanied by an army of guards and a fleet of cars, but rather he left the building on a “bicycle” and alone.*

For a change, some positive words about the DA. Departments if ought to be given, that would thrive under its leadership. The DA has very specific technocratic strengths, and regardless of how you feel about it as a party, you will be hard-pressed to find another party better suited for these portfolios. You don’t have to like the DA to, with objectivity, give credit where credit is due. Although the DA has done some brand damage with its thirst for DGs, one would assume their message would be reforming institutions and uprooting harmful policies, not reinforcing there. I will therefore while done very begrudgingly, I submit: 1. Public Service: The DA has a strong track record of professionalizing public service and rigorous audits to ensure a more efficient and accountable public sector. Under DA leadership, we could see significant improvements in service delivery and reduced corruption, leading to a more transparent and effective public administration. 2. Department of Home Affairs: With the DA's commitment to efficiency, streamlining processes, and reducing bureaucratic red tape, the DA could enhance efficiency and modernise DHA the issuing passports, visas, and IDs 3. COGTA: No party is better at managing local government than the DA. Its experience and success in governing municipalities make it uniquely qualified to clean up local government structures, eradicate corruption, and improve service delivery at the grassroots level. The DA’s focus on accountability and performance could lead to more responsive and effective local governance. 4. Department of Water and Sanitation: Given the DA's emphasis on sustainability and efficient resource management, the Department of Water and Sanitation would benefit greatly from its leadership. The DA's approach would likely involve modernizing infrastructure, improving water management systems, and ensuring equitable access to clean water, addressing one of the country's critical needs. 5. Department of Small Business Development: While the DA may not be the first choice for this department, its focus and experience in creating a conducive environment for businesses to thrive and create jobs cannot be overlooked. It is for this reason the WC had the lowest unemployment rate. Look, Ma, I was nice to them. 🤷🏾‍♀️😂

Every South African should watch this. Mbeki 100% correct here. Exactly how I think about BEE. He’s right that black people must be creators. I say the same thing in my book “Lessons from Past Heroes”. [WATCH].

The very fact that this comes from RET Putin-ist must reveal that this is a FAKE. It is so badly written that it is actually an insult, and bears no resemblance to the DA's position.
Going into coalition government with the DA will mark the end of the road for the ANC. Within 6 months Ramaphosa will be impeached as President of South Africa.

RSA is truly a strange country.Out of the top 4 parties after the elections,the DA is by far the most racially diverse party.They also make the least racist or divisive statements.Yet supporters of the other 3 parties continuously accuse them of being racist. – at Gonubie, South Africa
