Dep Min was not fired for going on an overseas trip. He was fired for trying to expose the cancerous corruption that the @MYANC continues to do. Dropping below 40% was not enough for them to realise how much they are despised by the electorate. Let them go below 20% in 2026 LGE

Weeks before Rand Water shutdown in Joburg's water supply and forced residents to queue with buckets, one of the winners of the R263-million water tanker tender was in Paris, just steps behind Deputy President Paul Mashatile.
Vusimusi Cat Matlala is the central character in the @SAPoliceService implosion. But don’t forget the persona of Katiso "KT" Molefe. Another man with underworld links and ties to a murder. Read this @News24 thread for the full story.
Katiso "KT" Molefe is the supposed paymaster tied to a hit squad - facing charges related to an assassination. Today, to his visible chagrin, he was denied bail. @News24 has followed his dalliance with the law. A 🧵
Just noted the breaking news that Deputy National Commissioner for Crime Detection, Lt Gen Shadrack Sibiya, has been asked to take a leave of absence. Why this is highly irregular: In policing, “leave of absence” and “suspension” mean very different things, and the distinction…
He is obviously incapable of remorse, but even more astonishing are the legions of idiots who defend him.

🚨 BREAKING - ZOHRAN MAMDANI: “I don't think that we should have billionaires.” Oh man…
Enjoying the poverty and unemployment brought by the ANC? Have fun as you get poorer.
So Ramaphosa fires the deputy DA minister for traveling to the USA without approval from him. Meanwhile, his minister in the presidency stands accused of fraud and corruption worth R800 million, his higher education minister was caught lying to Parliament, his deputy president…
Hot take: When newly independent African nations were seizing mines and farms in the name of "the people," Botswana's leaders looked at the same playbook and said: "No thanks." They partnered 50/50 with De Beers instead of kicking them out. They let mining experts run…
Incompetence and corruption magnify the effect of cyclical weather events, but Ramaphosa is out at the G7 with his "climate change" begging bowl.
