Imagine 10 people on a bus. 3 vote to drive off a cliff. 2 vote against it. 5 decide not to vote. The bus is going over the cliff. Not voting doesn’t mean you’re not affected by the outcome. Your vote matters. Use it. 🗳️🇿🇦

My friends and I were talking about the upcoming elections over the weekend. And how incredibly important they are. We did a bit of Googling and found out that South Africa has lost an estimated R2.1 trillion to corruption and mismanagement since the ANC has been in power. That's R8 million every hour. Every. Single. Hour. Imagine the schools, hospitals, jobs and infrastructure we could have had. I wrote this and published it on my Facebook. My editor believed that it deserves to be in an article too. It's a long read. And it's incredibly sobering. But also... hopeful. I received a comment on the original post from a follower who was not going to vote because they believed their vote didn't matter. After reading this, they have decided that there is no choice but to vote. Who knows, maybe reading this will inspire you too... or sharing it, may inspire others. goodthingsguy.com/south-afri…

@IEC Is it Allowed for IEC officials to vote on behalf of elderly voters? What level of corruption is this? 🤦🏾‍♂️

AMASELA AYATATAZELA! 🚨🔥 The DA funded and delivered a new transformer to Meadowlands, and ANC activists immediately tried to take credit - just like Panyaza Lesufi did in Snake Park this week. The ANC in Joburg is desperate and completely finished! #BelieveInJoburg #Zille4Mayor

Imagine campaigning like this, and using these goons with assault rifles to threaten and chase journalists away. Why would the @IECSouthAfrica allow such a criminal thug party to contest elections?

Gayton McKenzie has been in office for over 2 years. What has he delivered? ❌ Failed to secure F1 for South Africa. ❌ VAR remains undelivered. ❌ No meaningful new sports facilities, while athletes still rely on their own money to represent the country. Promises made. Where are the results? 🇿🇦

Judge Madlanga is a genius, he invited Prof. Somadoda Fikeni to expose what has been the failure from the past commissions of inquiry, now the entire country fully understands that the government is the one holding us back.

Five months ago SAPS begged the public for healthy working dogs. The public donated 40. Fourteen went to the same kennel where Sky was already being kept. Sky spent 18 hours a day in a dark box, smashed herself trying to escape, and this week — at five years old — was put down. They beg for your dogs. Then the dogs die of neglect. youtu.be/V6952fJTiyI?si=v6Ar…
