Winnie Madikizela-Mandela had no complex past: You don’t confront white supremacy head on, fearlessly & refuse to be broken by it & expect that those that benefited from its rule will call you a hero. But we know better that she gave her life so we can be.
Sanitary pads are not an option but a necessity can we have zero VAT on them. We need to give our girl kids and women dignity.

The biggest lie we have been sold in SA is calling power outages, load shedding! Just because there is a schedule it does not make it better, consequences are same. Load shedding is right there with Fire pool!
Helen Zille was not in control today. She was completely blindsided. She has the power and control she wanted but dololo credibility and will have to look for new puppets.

Can we talk about the power of Patrice Motsepe. ZCC Bishop Lekganyane, many people only got to see him ka Easter now we see him on Tv twice in as many weekends. That is power.

When he was fighting his own battle to stay alive, Xolani Gwala used the mic to inspire, to advocate for early diagnoses of cancer and highlight how expensive and out of reach the treatment was for the poor. He was an amazing human.

This is what the Sharpeville graveyard looks like. The ANC government can’t even maintain the place where heroes of Sharpeville massacre are buried, but we will remember the day on March 21. 😥😥😰😰
so President Ramaphosa won... the NEC accepted the letter of President Ramaphosa sent to members was correct and dismissed the orchestrated campaign! Those charged with corruption must step aside

Two people I am pleased to see in cabinet is David Masondo & Ronald Lamola. ANC Factional threatened their careers. They stuck to their guns & now have come full circle. Standing up for Truth & being principled can cost you in short term but you will live victorious at end.
Bushiri is drunk on his power... so he sends us a Facebook statement that I have no regard for the laws of SA and I have run away and now he is going to hold a public address... tjerr o a re tella!!!
I have never seen President Ramaphosa so angry… clinched fist and banging the table, he almost moved out of his chair trying to address the racist western and their hysteria…. Tell them Mr President.

Never under estimate the power of a personal assistant (ask Schabir Shaik) and drivers (ask Brian Molefe & Malusi Gigaba).

Drivers & PA’s know a lot!
Of all the things I watched, Thuthuka Zondi’s work of a child being thrown from aburning building has broken me. Is this who we are? How do we recover? We can focus on positive that baby was saved but the why haunts me. Do we recover from this? How?
If you want to win against unethical journalism, challenge them at the BCCSA and Press Council. Being found guilty there hits harder than the Twitter noise. It’s like complaining about a lawyer but not taking them to Bar council.

So what happens when you are a woman in an organization & your colleagues are okay with toxic masculinity, when they are okay with a woman degraded, threatened with rape & called names & sexualized. We ask the ANC WL all the time,
Where are the

Is calling journalists whores, bitches cunts, threatening to rape them, accosting them in malls, threatening to go to their homes, threatening to kill them what EFF believes in? U are okay with people using your name doing this? Go $ read our court documents so u enrich debate

..Met him at SABC, I was in awe, he was so professional, took his job seriously & was about winning. He connected with people @ he gave us a 14th cheque & that was probably the last time the SABC was profitable. Politics as usual ruined it all.
The retrenchments at SABC are not just numbers but people who have told the beautiful and the ugly that is our country. They have informed, educated and entertained. They are friends, mothers, sisters, aunts. Its really heartbreaking. South African media shrinking. Aluta.
Of all the awards I have received this one extra special one for me. Thank you very much to my comrades. This journey has been rough but we have persevered!

Thank you to

for contributing R500 000 to the SANEF Relief fund to assist journalists who have lost their jobs as Covid-19 hits media houses hard.
@SAEditorsForum
Hi
@AdvDali_Mpofu
The SABC8 fund was a crowd funding campaign. As we said yesterday, there was never a 100 thousand deposit by BOSASA or any of its executives, instead it was democracy loving South Africans who contributed. The SABC8 did not even know who the contributors are.
If SAn journalists are "objective", & not open to being bought like STRATCOM...Can ANYONE tell us WHY Angelo Agrizzi said paying R100 000 to the SANEF Fund via
@AdriaanBasson
would be "strategic" & would produce the BEST ROI(return on investment) ever for BOSASA??👂🏾
Supra has absolute no sense of irony of calling out all the things he should have done in his 4 years as premier. He says crime, greed and corruption will be attended to as he embarks on early retirment as premier

was scammed?? “On investigation, SARB can confirm that it had no record of existence of said fund & it advised Mr Sexwale that, given the SARB’s experience and knowledge of this and other similar matters, it could only conclude that the alleged fund was a scam.”
I am ready for a boring country, you know where the top story is that that the president visited a children’s hospital after donating high tech devices to ensure the kids don’t miss school. Or the country is 100 percent electrified or has clean drinking water!

This is painful! This is a road in Gauteng. We had 2cut short a family get together cause the rain makes the already terrible road worse. This is how Emfuleni has failed people of Sebokeng! Last time I showed graves where Sharpeville heroes are buried! ANC should be ashamed.

This conversation of finding solutions, would have been productive if we had the meeting. Twitter limited words conversations are not conducive. You could also just bring to an end the intimidation & threats to journalists.... that led to this situation.
@hlatseentle
Maybe we should stop inviting all of them to avoid a situation where others don't feel safe, and others have to also leave in solidarity, just thinking for a solution which will work for all of us.

SANEF (that has been silent on the use of SSA funds to buy off journalists to support the ANC) has now a lot to say about the non-existent Decuplets.
SANEF picks the easy battles. It ignores the ones that are fundamental to our democracy.
The state organs being used to fight political battles is so old and trying ... can we try new tricks? Zuma exhausted us with this narrative and proceeded to weaken law enforcement agencies.

Even humans who do great things most of the time when they do wrong, unethical things they must be called out, criticisised etc.. People should not be excused with to “err is human.” Nor should their greatness mean they can’t be held accountable. Wrong is wrong.
