💧 24 Days Without Water I met with residents in Kensington and Berea — communities supplied by the Alexander Park and Berea reservoirs. Some families have now gone 24 days in a row without water. And the Gauteng Water Crisis is only just beginning. In Olivedale today, I found one of Joburg’s “secret leaks” — barely visible from the road, yet losing thousands of litres of clean water every day. Over months, residents have reported it again and again. Joburg Water closes the calls, but does nothing. These hidden leaks aren’t isolated — they add up to over 500 million litres of water lost every single day across Joburg. Executive Mayor Dada Morero and Joburg Water owe residents answers: what is being done to stop this crisis from spiralling further? #GautengWaterCrisis

Dear President Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC NEC — you have really embarrassed us dailymaverick.co.za/opinioni… (Damning piece by Fulufhelo Netswera, dean of the Faculty of Management Sciences at the Durban University of Technology.)

So now the Acting Minister with a wink from his boss suddenly knows better than the National Commissioner? How convenient. After parading the Madlanga Commission as the beacon of truth, you’ve now gone and confirmed what many South Africans have been saying all along: it’s a complete hoax, a political theatre piece designed to buy time and protect the powerful. Why, Mr President and Acting Minister, do you question the National Commissioner for doing his job returning the 121 dockets for proper closure and arrests? Is it because justice threatens to knock on doors too close to your own? Or is patriotism simply too heavy a burden for you to carry when accountability is at stake? Spare the nation the pretense. If you were genuinely committed to justice, you’d back the Commissioner, not undermine him. But then again, why bother with closure when protecting the untouchables is clearly the real agenda!

So @Action4SA this is what you signed up for! Good luck with holding the corrupt ANC to your gentleman’s agreement in the next 30 days.

SA drags Israel to the ICJ while its own courts protect “Kill the Boer.” Perhaps it's time for a country to take this racist ANC regime to the ICJ! Force SA to abide by Article 3(c) of the Genocide Convention and punish EFF politicians who incite violence against minorities!
CALLING TO "KILL THE BOER" IS NOT HATE SPEECH – SOUTH AFRICA CONSTITUTIONAL COURT AfriForum’s appeal against the EFF is dismissed, meaning it’s constitutionally protected to call for the slaughter of white farmers. Trump’s sledgehammer will strike the ANC regime even harder now

A party that demands a VAT hike after unleashing Zuma, the Guptas, low growth, no jobs, power cuts, and inflation on the country isn’t serious about breaking the cycle of poverty. ‘Transformation’ means comrades who live on tenders will be OK, and to hell with everyone else.
#Budget2025 Steenhuisen was so clear: stop implementing transformative laws if you want us to support the Budget! This is what their objection is about, not a concern on the poor! Bua, Minister Motsoaledi!

What's wrong with the DA demanding the scrapping of NHI, EWC & other pro-poverty policies? These hurt the economy - and that hurts the poor the most. If the ANC wants DA votes for the budget, they’ll have to put on their big-boy pants and come to the table in good faith.
[WATCH] Minister of Finance Enoch Godongwana says, "What is the issue with the Democratic Alliance? My understanding and I have spoken to the Democratic Alliance myself; the issue for them is that it has nothing to do with the budget. The issue is, they say, they have lost the BELA Bill, they have lost NHI, they have lost the Expropriation Act; this is the battle they are going to use budget to fight those battles., to build cohesion in their own party, and its got nothing to do with the poor."

The ANC VAT budget doesn’t have a majority, and the DA won’t give it one. The DA wants a series of major reforms that would grow the economy, create jobs, reduce waste and bring down taxes within 3 years. The ANC must accept that it no longer holds a majority.
