Rather say that he is going to address his supporters.
Foreigners demanding the resignation of OUR Minister of Home Affairs. South Africa is alive with possibilities. This lady fled Zim to come to SA and has the temerity to demand the resignation of a Cabinet Minister

We can’t regress to the Zuma years. In 2024, the minimum requirement for an ordinary MP should be a Bachelor Degree; Honours Degree for a Cabinet Minister and a Master’s for the President and Deputy President. The requirement for public servants should also apply to politicians
I drink alcohol and supported the lifting of the ban on its sale because the decision made economic sense. After seeing what has happened since the ban was lifted, I will embrace a decision to ban the sale. Some irresponsible drinkers can’t handle alcohol. Period.

should establish a unit in his office which entertains complaints from honest and loyal public servants about how they're treated by Ministers and MECs. The things we hear are scary. Civil servants are human and have suffered enough abuse. I volunteer...
Dissolve the JSC and reconstitute it with suitable, fit and proper persons. We can’t have the JSC that has some members whose sole objective is to besmirch the character of certain judges during interviews. How do you interrogate a candidate on a rumour?

The exemplary exhibition of enforcing traffic laws in

When we speak out against ruthless UNDOCUMENTED criminals from Zimbabwe (CIT, bank robberies) and Nigeria (scams & drugs) we’re accused of xenophobia. I’ve never heard of the brazenness of thugs shooting at a police helicopter before in my life. Well done

South Africa wouldn’t have a single shack or informal settlement if state funds, from all the three spheres of government and SOEs were used for correct reasons.

Let me make myself clear: I hate Jacob Zuma’s supporters who are tribalists. I know that he supports and endorses support for himself based on ethnicity, but I hate it. Period.

There’s NO political party whose members would stand on tables and disrupt the proceedings of a meeting while its President speaks, and expect to be voted into power at the next general election. How do we respect such behaviour by so-called ‘leaders’?
My daughter walked up to me to show me the news of Tina Joemat-Pettersson’s passing. My sibling and other friends have texted to inform me how much they detested this woman for what she did to me. Though I forgave her, but I HATED her with a passion.
There are many like
#BabitaDeokaran
within the public service, but they would never speak out against graft in order to protect their income and feed their children and preserve their lives. How come whistleblowers aren’t protected, but politicians are protected 24/7?
I took on Tina Joemat-Pettersson when she was the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries and won. I was paid R500k for unlawful suspension. I forgave her long time ago and will take the secrets with me to the grave. I feel sorry for her two sons who are now orphaned.

I fully embrace transformation that seeks to affirm & empower blacks, but the appointment of incompetent blacks defeats the whole purpose. There’s a vast pool of competent blacks that are overlooked for the useless ones and then we’re told blacks are incompetent. It’s not true

If memory serves me well, Dr Sydney Mufamadi didn’t have a post matric qualification when he joined Mandela’s Cabinet in 1994. He studied further & attained a PhD. A decent and incorruptible fellow.

Obtaining a Master’s degree in Economics at a prestigious institution like Wits University or London School of Economics is a major achievement. You don’t need a PhD to open economic opportunities for you.
I like this process of politicians interrogating potential judge candidates, I’d ike to see the same thing happening where judges get to interrogate potential candidates for MPs, MPLs and Councillors. Let’s have this fairness process. I wanna see something
Let me make it clear: I trust
#CyrilRamaphosa
ONLY who, despite his many chronic shortcomings, never attempted to LOOT the public purse. I trust Ronald Lamola too. He’s a decent young man who likes his OROS. The rest of the Top 6 candidates I can’t trust to even look after my R10
Love or hate him

President Ramaphosa is cooperating with a series of investigations into him. He respects the due process of the law. He is the one who strengthened law enforcement agencies. Yes, he has shortcomings, like of all of us do, but he respects the rule of law. Undisputable facts.
I hate it when some blacks caught with their hands in the cookie jar cry racism when whites demand accountability. Yes racism is a massive problem in

How did this former cop Ndlovu woman make it to the police service when they have such a rigorous screening process?
I’ve always maintained that if we clean up the rot in the police service we would reduce the crime rate by more than 50%. Same should happen with Home Affairs.
I don’t think
#JacobZuma
will attempt that stunt again, after the spectacular backfiring of his letter, which he had hoped would influence the NEC against his party President.
When they say
#RamaphosaMustFall
we should say
#RamaphosaMustRise
, his shortcomings notwithstanding. We’re tired of crooks. Just because we don’t belong to political parties doesn’t mean that we should surrender our hard won democracy to crooks and RETards.
Thank you

for providing females with sanitary towels at your manifesto launch today. As a doting father & daddy to girls I know how expensive sanitary towels are. This is commendable and keep it up! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I'd never have imagined that, in my 49 years of existence, I'd live to witness a former President trying to convince others that he was friends with someone who denies the friendship.That's enough confirmation that there was never a friendship. They were acquaintances. Period.
I don’t get it: how come do some people get hot under the collar when they’re a subject of an investigation? Can’t they simply cooperate with the investigation, and they’ll be cleared IF they didn’t do anything wrong. Bottom en Klaar! This thing of mobilising support is BAD!

I think the time has come that we stop voting according to history and emotions and vote according to our conscience. We should analyse what all parties stand for and eliminate those that are racist, divisive and CORRUPT.
I think universities should do away with Political Science as a course. Lately it’s been producing poor political ‘analysts’ & politicians pass it with ease. Some have even obtained PhDs and Master’s in it, yet they have no substance at all. Alternatively, it needs to be reviewed
Lest we forget that it was Police Minister

So, of all the protesters that converged outside the Bloemfontein Magistrate’s Court today, no one spoke on behalf of the
