Anyone within the @MYANC who says people are dissatisfied with the GNU and association with the DA hence they abandoned the ANC is lying and wants to crowd out the DA because they want the gravy train continuing.
At least ANC still has few honest people. To say ANC lost votes mainly because of "inclusion of DA in GNU" is really insulting. Many black people live in horrible Municipalities.

People are so sold on Ramaphosa being a villain that the cant fathom that he knew and sanctioned the July 6 presser and initiated the commission. #MadlangaCommission

One of the reasons @MYANC is where it is, is because it didn't want to face the fact that their cadres in gov departments and municipalities were consistently decampaigning them through corruption and poor service.

Sad that @VFPlus went super right wing. They were becoming a convincing alternative under Groenewald.

I've been listening to some dispensational podcasts as of late, and I keep bumping up against a problem. 🚦 According to a lot of dispensationalists, an interpreter holds to dispensationalism or "replacement theology." I'm a covenant theologian but I don't hold to replacement theology. The church doesn't replace Israel. The church is the CONTINUATION of true Israel in Christ. NT believers are joined to OT believers as the covenant community. That's not replacement.

I have three separate hobbies: 1. Reading books. 2. Buying books I’ll probably read someday. 3. Wandering around bookstores and libraries just to admire all the books.

What is clear in many comments is that people don’t want solutions. They are happy regurgitating worn out conspiracy theories on privatisation. Privatisation of municipal services happened ages ago when they outsourced their capacity to tenderpreneurs. Cyril trying to fix that
[WATCH] President Cyril Ramaphosa says municipalities will no longer have an automatic right to provide water and electricity. Instead, a compulsory licensing system will be introduced, with revenues from utility sales ring-fenced for infrastructure maintenance. He addressed the local government white paper launch today.

We’ve rocked a lot of stages together. A lot of shows, a lot of memories, a lot of music. And somewhere along the way, we went on to do our own thing. Getting back on stage together feels special. Most def ain't a regular performance. But a chance to travel through time!

You cannot hurt someone who has read Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Cioran, and Camus for fun. Their serotonin left the chat years ago.

Every time I go to Tembisa hospital I think we are not angry enough about the corruption that happened there with #Maumela and others. We are not angry enough. SIU is not fast enough, NPA is doing what needs to be done. I don’t think anyone would want to be a patient there.

I’m in love with this sentence: “The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth they can accept about themselves without running away.”
