The Cape Town mayor’s communique is spot on. The disruption of the pro-Israeli event is unacceptable. And any threat against a Jewish school must be met with the full force of the law. You cannot campaign against the targeting of children in Gaza and do the same in Cape Town.

Shameful! This demonstrates that for SA to survive, the ANC has to lose power. But the EFF, given its fascist orientation & its propensity to be corrupt, has to also be kept away from power. This is the singular historic task in 2024, 30 years after the birth of democratic SA.

My thoughts on the political action against Clicks and the need to collectively stand firm against the small cohort of racist activists romanticizing war and violence.

We need to talk urgently about our new generation of activists – a small cohort romanticising war...

If we remain silent against the rise of a new generation of racist and violent young activists, we do so at our peril. In the second week of September we witnessed the latest incidence of a power...

Now that the Hlaudi matter is clarified, can we get to the real debates: how to create an accountable government, how to enable socio-economic inclusion, how to address violence in our society especially against women & children, how do we all become what it means to be human.

There is a silver lining in Floyd's racist attack on Momo. It has provoked the kind of social outrage necessary for establishing the social conventions that make racism unacceptable. This is how we should deal with all racists; outrage, strong criticism & social alienation.

I have clarified my participation in the Supersport Enquiry. It is unlikely to satisfy the thoughtless mob (and Trolls) for whom Racism is a label to settle political scores. To this mob, get off my account. Its for thoughtful democrats interested in building a better world.✊

If @StephenGrootes is correct that factions in the ANC leaked Nene’s meetings, then he correctly asks: what is the agenda of the EFF? Are they the willing or the unwitting agents of the Zuma faction? Have they, consciously or unconsciously, now returned to do Zuma’s bidding?

Any society requires filters to ensure that the capable & those with integrity become President. Zuma’s testimony exposed not only his inadequacies but also the failure of our filters. The question is what needs to be fixed so it does not happen again. Yet we not talking about it

@kalliekriel @ErnstRoets @realDonaldTrump @afriforum Your associations in the US prove what disgusting human beings you truly are. You are an embarrassment to SA & its constitution. Every nation has somebody who reflects its worse side. The Germans had Hitler, the Ugandans, Amin, apartheid SA, Verwoed, and current SA the two of you

SA political leaders really need to read & understand before they rush to comment. They & their supporters really need to learn to engage with respect & thought. Engagement with insults and threats is a means to silence and destroy our democracy. Rights come with responsibilities

Moderated an interesting conversation with the Governor of the Reserve Bank, Lesetja Kganyago. His take away messages were: 1. South Africa has had its worst decade for economic growth. Our economic performance was even lower than the 1970s and 1980s. (Thank you Zuma & the ANC).

This is truly disgusting, and it demonstrates the bankruptcy of these parties. It is the equivalent of Cyril Ramaphosa appointing Jacob Zuma as Minister of Finance. This is why citizens have such low opinions of politicians. 🙈🙈

2. Don’t use a critique of municipal failures of current political elites to justify a crime against humanity. Our options are not just apartheid or the current incompetence of government. We can have accountable government. Durban did have blue flag beaches in the post-1994 era.

My final tweet to those who are rude and abusive. I am happy to engage respectfully if you do so as well. If you incapable of engaging respectfully, then you not interested in debate but political spectacle. I then have no interest in engaging you and ask you not to follow me.

This is an irresponsible tweet Deputy Minister @ButiManamela . It does not accord with the facts and is based on political gossip and hearsay. Here are the facts and how we view the issue.

For @WitsUniversity and others to insist on resuming academic programmes ONLINE tomorrow even when some students will be left behind, and after agreement with all stakeholders to work towards a later date when we are all ready, is irresponsible and inconsiderate.
