So basically the people who used to vote for the ANC, voted for ActionSA, and got the ANC. There’s going to be so much buyer’s remorse.
Roman is right, if you can get government out of your life, you’ll survive. Thrive, even. If you can’t… then I’m afraid this election was rather a waste of your time

I will never understand how planting a cross for a victim of a farm murder is condemned by the media in this country.
For some reason, you can speak about every type of murder and abuse in this country and even have marches for them, eg GBV, and no one in the media will ask, "But what about other victims of crime?".
The moment you show respect for the people that are literally feeding this nation, the media goes into a frenzy. What exactly is the problem with highlighting the brutal murder of ALL farmers @ferialhaffajee? Especially with our government refusing to acknowledge that it's a problem?
How can you, as a journalist, not comprehend this?

You cannot judge a political party by its manifesto.
A manifesto might give you an indication of which way they lean, but you have to judge them by their actions.
ActionSA might seem loud on social media right now, but that's purely because ANC-supporting accounts are backing them too. Why wouldn't they? ActionSA, by all accounts, seems to be considering keeping those patronage networks alive. ActionSA is literally their lifeline.
In a 2025 speech, Herman swindled his support.
In a statement made in public, he said that he committed his life to the "REMOVAL of THE ANC in a peaceful manner." He claimed to be "committed to the project" and that ASA will not work with the ANC under no circumstances.
Now the DA also once said it wouldn't work with the ANC. Steenhuisen even defended the ANC in the White House.
The point I'm making is that recent surveys show low trust scores among South Africans towards politicians, and low participation in democracy is not because South Africans are lazy and don't care.
Trust is eroded because politicians take you for a p**s.
While you stand in the sun and cheer for their promises, they only end up shafting you and doing the exact opposite of what they claimed.
Politics was never about morality or honesty.
Parties like these will tell you anything in the pursuit of power. The question you need to ask yourself is: What else will they lie to you about once they have even more power?
ASA might be a centre-right party on paper, but if you keep siding with and empowering marxists/communists/criminals, then that is what you are.

When land invaders take a South African town hostage
Tomorrow, I interview the award-winning director of Stolen Ground and Stolen Ground 2, @Joe_Emilio_. Stolen Ground 2 (2026) investigates the landgrabs at South African seaside town Hermanus, and looks into who is responsible.

Herman Mashaba and ActionSA have a real clash in their policy.
ActionSA proposes replacing B-BBEE with a policy called Inclusive Economic Empowerment (IEE)
Their own manifesto says they want to repeal and replace B-BBEE, and I agree with that, but it's a complete contradiction to having a free-market approach.
They're still trying to be something for everyone.

Looks like ASA wants the status quo in Gauteng - an alliance with those that destroyed Gauteng.
To my fellow Gautengers, keep going off-grid.
The hubris won't last.

People have already been asking me about Stolen Ground 3.
It’s amazing that people want to see the next chapter already. I promise it’s coming. But I want the Hermanus story to get the attention it deserves.
So SG3 will probably only start shooting next year.
As we wait for the dust to settle from elections, things will shift and new people will come into power. They will make promises.
Well let’s see if they keep those promises.

The 2026 elections were arguably the most consequential in our democracy's history. Here are three important things that have become clear after the local government elections.

🚨A WARNING TO ALL SOUTH AFRICANS:
Just 13 days before we went to the polls, the ANC's Cyril Ramaphosa unveiled a policy that could change what powers municipalities get to keep.
The Revised White Paper on Local Government
I wouldn't be so naive as to think that this was done for the good of mankind. While details are still thin, be extremely vigilant about where they attempt to shift that power to and how much power elected councils will still hold over their own affairs.
This political assassinations and murders should be addressed more seriously.
54 citizens who's exercising their right to stand up for a party or group have been killed this year!
@sagovau
They deserve justice!
43 (GI-TOC, 1 Jan–30 Sep)
+10 in October (Rademeyer/GI-TOC updates)
+1 for Luxolo Namette (UDM councillor, 7 Nov)
That gives ≈54 suspected political killings so far in 2026.

Outstanding journalism from Alpha. On the ground, in touch with the people living through the state failure, gathering the story off the beaten track from locations far and wide. With nothing more than a cellphone and a huge dose of passion. Well done.

Julius… your party decreased in support this year, not because of Afriforum, but because, you sir, are not the brilliant leader you think you are.
Your radical ideology does not sit well with rational thinking South Africans, across the board.
And over the past few years, you have been exposed as the weak leader you really are.
I know that some of your voters went to MK or Action SA, maybe even the SACP. That’s fine.
And maybe you still have some die hard supporters.
Everyone does.
But they are very few. South Africans have rejected your voice. Your communism. And that must eat at you.
So you blame the “big bad white man” the Afrikaner. Cuz you need to save face with the very few that are left to support you.
Shem. Your party is dying a slow death. And while you try to go out swinging. Know this:

And let the childish games begin.
Always Ego with politicians. Never for the people. Put your differences aside and start fixing the city! You were voted into power. Now get along and do the work.
You both claim your for the people. Well, now is your chance to prove it!

Choice. One government chose well, the other chose poorly. Your life is the same.
We’ve all made bad choices - God knows I have, but blaming anyone else (the government, the market, your parents, your boss, your wife or kids) and becoming a resentful, bitter victim will do nothing to improve your condition.
Use the best information, discipline and intuition you have to do better, 1% better every day and before you know it, everything has improved exponentially.
Outsourcing responsibility and agency will profoundly disappoint you. Eagerly add accountability, duty and difficulty to your day and see how much better you sleep at night…
One island, two countries, and a gap in per capita GDP so wide you could lose a civilization in it. The Dominican Republic sits at roughly $10,000 USD per capita. Haiti hovers around $1,700. Same geography. Same hurricanes. Radically different institutions.
Property rights explain most of this story. The Dominican Republic, for all its imperfections, built a functional legal system around private land ownership. Haitian governments, by contrast, spent two centuries treating property as something the state grants and revokes at pleasure. When you cannot secure title to your land, you cannot borrow against it, improve it, or sell it credibly. Hernando de Soto estimated in the early 2000s that Haitians held roughly $5.2 billion in informal, legally unrecognized assets. That capital sits frozen, unable to do what capital does.
The state is always a coercive institution. The question is whether its coercion remains constrained enough to let people produce and trade. Haiti never solved that question. Since independence in 1804, it cycled through dictators, foreign occupations, and kleptocratic governments that treated the treasury as personal income. François Duvalier murdered his opposition and taxed the productive class into emigration. His son Jean-Claude burned through foreign aid while infrastructure collapsed. The pattern repeated because the incentives for rulers never changed.
The Dominican Republic had brutal governments too, Rafael Trujillo chief among them. Trujillo, monstrous as he was, kept basic commercial infrastructure functioning because he wanted an economy to loot. Sometimes predators preserve their prey. Haiti's governments skipped even that minimal calculation.
Geography handed both nations identical starting conditions, and institutions determined everything after that.

News24 deliberately fails to report on US funding for South African ‘investigative journalists’.
News24 today relies on speculation to manufacture some sort of scandal around possible US funding for AfriForum’s human rights initiatives, which include providing psychological support to victims of brutal torture on farms. Yet the same News24 remains silent about the fact that the Biden administration allocated $8 million to investigative journalism in South Africa in 2023.
It is hardly surprising that News24’s so-called ‘investigative journalist’ Kyle Cowan failed to mention this, because he, Adriaan Basson and PieterDuToit are, in fact, anti-AfriForum activists posing as journalists.
It is a pity that the US funding for journalists did not at least inspire him to demonstrate some degree of journalistic integrity and ethical conduct when writing his hit pieces targeting AfriForum.
