THERE is a particular kind of silence that settles over this country when the truth arrives, and it is a silence that the people who need that truth the most can never quite afford.
On the second of July 2026, the Constitutional Court delivered a unanimous judgment that was nothing short of a damning indictment of the Democratic Alliance’s governance in the Western Cape, and it was the kind of ruling that should have dominated every front page and every evening news bulletin for weeks.
The court found that the DA-led provincial government and the City of Cape Town had failed in their constitutional duty to provide affordable housing in well-located areas, that their approach to social and affordable housing “perpetuated spatial inequality” and “fell short of Constitutional standard,” and that their policy of building only on the city’s outskirts was creating “poverty traps on the city’s outskirts, far from economic opportunities and social amenities”.

🚨MARCH & MARCH IS BARKING AT A WRONG TREE - TREVOR
Trevor Noah makes a brutal point about South Africa’s anti-immigration protests:
You can be angry about crime, inequality and pressure on public services, but targeting vulnerable immigrants while ignoring the people who allow the system to be abused makes absolutely no sense.
In a nutshell : “Don’t fight the symptom while protecting the people breaking the system.” 😭😂

In 2026 DA is suppressing our Native languages
DA will always be an oppressive to anything associated with Blacks in this country
Guess who made DA the speaker in parliament

Premier @Lesufi, please work with your colleagues from the Northwest Province to fix this provincial road. The road is needs resurfacing, not potholes repair. The last time this road never received any maintenance since Mangope built it in the 80’s. If Gauteng province is currently unable to do something now, please give the Tshwane municipality the mandate to take care of the part within their boundaries.
This road is the lifeblood of those areas.
At times I wonder which roads they show the mayor and the MMC in Hammanskraal because we drive like this @nasiphim and it has been years. This is better even

WATCH | This is what we said in 2024 about the DA-led City of Cape Town's service delivery discrepancies, and now public protector Kholeka Gcaleka says Cape Town violated residents’ constitutional rights by failing to provide basic services in parts of Langa and Khayelitsha.

If other countries expect South Africa to become a play ground of illegal criminals, and are prepared to ban us from legally visiting their countries as tourists, I am afraid, let them feel free to exercise their rights.
This is ridiculous.
Shout out to these South African women.
They were chased out in Mozambique restaurant simply because they are South Africans.
They told the restaurant owner the painful truth "we are not job seekers or economic immigrants, we are visitors, tomorrow we are leaving your country unlike your brothers in South Africa" .

The cognitive dissonance shown by some defending this is next level:
Using your proximity to access state functionaries for the benefit of a private company is CORRUPTION.
It's really NOT that complicated.
A year into the DA taking control of the Tshwane metro in 2016, former party leader Tony Leon set up a meeting with the then mayor, Solly Msimanga, to discuss how his public relations company Resolve Communications could score tenders.

And, yet, Tony Leon confirmed the 2017 meeting with Solly Msimanga and his staff in his interview with News24.
Lies have short legs...
Solly Msimang on #TheCMShow today denied ever attending a meeting with Tony Leon or any representative of Resolve Communications when he was mayor in Tshwane. LISTEN omny.fm/shows/mid-morning-sh…

When I was the Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, some in the @Our_DA were totally against me providing public services to poor communities.
Do you believe me now or still in denial?
[LISTEN] The City of Cape Town has failed to provide adequate services to townships like Langa and Khayelitsha. This was revealed in a report released by Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka.

8000 South Africans employed overnight, from one company. Where are those who were saying the deportation is not going to create jobs for South Africans?
They thought we are all fools.
Gratitute to March and March and like-minded South Africans we put South Africans First.

Let the South African government ask the Nigerian government to provide proof of direct investments their citizens invested in South Africa.
Some legal experts say South Africa has no obligation to pay for losses stemming from public unrest. This as the Nigerian government formally seeks compensation from South Africa for properties and businesses that some Nigerians have lost following protests against undocumented migrants.

But you are a Deputy Minister, and Deputy Ministers perform no earthly function. Now you want us to clap like enthusiastic seals because the new BMW X5 behind you doesn't have bluelights?
Your party used to advocate for the removal of Deputy Ministers. Remember?
It’s Day 2 of #DeputyJack. There are NO BLUE LIGHTS on my official vehicle. My driver sticks to the speed limit and treats other road-users with respect.
