@Ndi_Muvenda_ Fake news. @SANParks confirmed fake.
@SimplyMegszcpt @helenzille @geordinhl The thieving comrades are trying to cover up their tracks so to speak. Aunty Helen going to clean house.
@IanCameron23 These clowns have no idea what war entails, they will flee when the first shots are fired.
@GTalevi @DadaMorero Even worse is that whoever is in charge of the Roads Dept. is probably earning more than R150k per month, for doing fokoli. Oh I forgot, comrades cannot be fired.
@Rolandschoeman @TheCapeArgus Independent newspapers belonging to "Liegbal" Surve. Rotten to the core.
@Recon1_ZA Exactly why I refuse to be in Cape Town over Xmas and New Year. Quiet seaside villages in the Eastern Cape the place to be.
Who could’ve predicted such a blistering takedown of President @CyrilRamaphosa’s administration? "You have made “black” a synonym for incompetence, thievery, tenderpreneurship, laziness, and other adjectives...You have confirmed the stereotype rightfully or wrongfully attributed to the apartheid leader PW Botha, suggesting that blacks would not be able to rule themselves." dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…
@TheKiffness @PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa @GaytonMcK What say ye about this behavior?
@Lolita721611021 Because they want to expropriate all the mega successful farms for themselves, like Mugabe did for his corrupt cronies.
So, Let Me Tell You What a Coward Is This week, President Cyril Ramaphosa stood on a stage at NAMPO and called Afrikaners who are leaving South Africa “cowards.” Days earlier, while speaking at the African CEO Forum, he remarked that South Africa is the only country on the continent where colonisers were not driven out. Taken together, the message is clear: those who leave aren't just deserters — they were never meant to belong in the first place. implying that those who leave should have been chased out in the first place. Let me tell you what a coward really is. A coward is a president who, in the middle of a pandemic, hides behind a blanket lockdown instead of crafting a plan to protect lives and livelihoods. A coward is a president who allows ministers accused of corruption to stay in government rather than clean up his cabinet. A coward is a man who, when caught with foreign currency stuffed into his furniture, uses his party machinery to silence accountability — and then has the audacity to remain in office. A coward is a man who calls citizens cowards simply for doing what he refuses to do: act decisively in defence of their families’ futures. Cowardice is refusing to look inwards and admit, “We’ve messed up.” Cowardice is the inability to show empathy. Cowardice is avoiding the mirror and pretending leadership means never acknowledging weakness. Cowardice is dodging the elephant in the room and blaming others — just because it’s uncomfortable. Cowardice is promoting a VAT increase because you're too afraid to cut the patronage network bleeding this country dry. Cowardice is hiding behind racial transformation policies when what you're really doing is stealing from the poor. Cowardice is taking money from authoritarian regimes to fight their battles in international forums — not for justice, but to buy political survival. Cowardice is putting your party above your country — rejecting real solutions simply because they didn’t come from your ideological stable, even when your ideology has failed across Africa for decades. Cowardice is promising opportunity through the state — and then looting it dry. Cowardice is destroying the very bridge you told people would carry them out of poverty. And when there's nothing left, cowardice is turning on the private sector, pushing expropriation without compensation — not as justice, but as cover for your own failure. Cowardice isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about blaming what still works. Cowardice is leaving the economic heartland of Gauteng — Johannesburg — in the hands of a fractured, corrupt coalition. Cowardice is refusing to work with real reformers because doing so would expose the rot. Cowardice is letting a city collapse rather than risk your party's secrets being dragged into the light. There is nothing cowardly about leaving a country that refuses to hear you. There is nothing cowardly about seeking safety, dignity, or opportunity. There is nothing cowardly about wanting your children to have a chance. Cowardice doesn’t look like leaving. Cowardice looks like refusing to change. South Africa isn’t broken because some people are leaving. It’s breaking because those who should be fixing it are hiding. So, Mr. President — if you're looking for cowards, try a mirror.
@ewnupdates Simple; half the cabinet and half the VIP protection unit budget. Not rocket science.
@GardenRoute_NP, what are the plans to repair footpath in Wilderness? This is a tourist attraction. No funds? Ask businesses and @MayorOfGeorge to fund repairs. @alanwinde @MinisterDFFE @SANParks
@BafanaSurprise Well done, young man. The disruptors are probably not even students.
This article says everything about the hatred towards a person for just being Jewish. Silence from our President says it all. @CyrilRamaphosa @MYANC @PresidencyZA sajr.co.za/anti-israel-ex…
@bevthrills @CyrilRamaphosa @ParliamentofRSA @PresidencyZA The ANC still trying to spin their way out of this.
@JacoKleynhans @CyrilRamaphosa does not have the balls to fire or censure the fossil, Gwede, for his stupid comments.
This is Atefeh Sahaaleh, a sixteen-year-old Kurdish/Iranian girl executed for being raped for 3 years, raped so severely in prison that she couldn't walk. She took off her hijab in court and threw her shoes at the judge after realizing she was losing the case, and because of that, the judge insisted on placing the noose around her neck himself. “Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so that they do not go to heaven.” ~ Ayatollah Khomeini
@Patriot_S_A Ai tog, Newlands belongs to the Western Province Rugby Union. Next time you are in Cape Town, I am sure @AndrewsEddie will arrange a private tour of Cape Town stadium for you. Best stadium in SA.
@WilkieisBack66 @CyrilRamaphosa @SANDF_ZA @Our_DA @DIRCO_ZA Seeing our troops raise the white surrender flag, far away from home, is a national tragedy. @CyrilRamaphosa , fire your Minister of Defence. She must take full responsibility for our soldiers dying for not being properly equipped.
