It's fascinating how political 'analysts' are so desperate to deny DA credit for this obvious win. There is very little 'analysis' involved I think the DA have been dismally weak in the GNU, but this round quite clearly went to them. Well done news24.com/opinions/analy…

A teacher with 16 years experience who clips kids around the ear for ill discipline and sends them out the class for chewing gum? If only we had a few more teachers like that! I'm delighted the WCED got hauled over the coals for punishing her news24.com/southafrica/ed…
Rather sums up the complete shyster that Ramaphosa is. Instead of prosecuting ANC state capture miscreants, they become ministers Far too many South Africans are disarmed by his fake smile and plastic demeanor. He is a billionaire fraud, and we made him rich. We are the fools 🙈

If only SA would listen to Moeketsi Mbeki, he has been on the money for years with his analysis Trouble is, people don't want to listen to what they don't want to hear. Pervasive missery is the price SA pays news24.com/business/econo…
China secretly supplies engines through front companies to a state-owned drone manufacturer in Russia under the guise of “industrial refrigeration units” to avoid Western sanctions if discovered. This was reported by Reuters, citing its own sources in European security agencies.

This is a positive step and at least one positive outcome of the budget fiasco The test will be whether it can actually reduce govt spending (an outcome which is desperate needed) Without accompanying growth, however, it will be futile news24.com/business/econo…
South Africa made its choice when they abandoned America and our allies and sided with communists and terrorists. Today, my bill to fully review America’s relationship with South Africa and give President Trump the tools necessary to hold their corrupt government accountable…
The WC deserves a pragmatic and economy-friendly foreign policy that aligns with our values and contribute to a better life for all in the Western Cape. #CapeIndependence
Joan Swart: "The ANC’s governance has been a spectacular failure, plunging South Africa into a crisis marked by the world’s highest crime rates, stagnant GDP growth lagging behind peer nations, and an unemployment rate at 43% among working-age adults, with youth unemployment…
Yesterday, the Non-Racialism Bill was formally handed over to the Chair of the Justice and Constitutional Development Committee, Xola Nqola. Thank you to the thousands who supported it. Next up: campaigns for our Illegal Settlements Bill and Self-Determination Bill. Stay tuned.
PRESS RELEASE: ANC-led South Africa is the poster child for double standards when it comes to international law, says RP. That they should attempt to lecture anyone on the issue is laughable referendumparty.org/news/press-rel…
We had a really good natured exchange with Xola Nqola (ANC) today when we submitted @votereferendum's Non-racialism Bill to the Justice and Constitutional Development Committee. I really appreciated it. (Details to follow later)

Hypocrisy is in the ANC's DNA
The irony is nauseating No one is more selective in its application of international law than SA (esp. on self-determination) Yes to Palestine, W.Sahara, S.Sudan, & China No to WC, Afrikaners, Taiwan, Tibet, HK, & Israel ALL people have the right to SD news24.com/politics/dirco…
It has taken a lot of hard work to get here, but today, the end of BEE and AA will go before parliament It has taken the tiny Referendum Party and 13k supporters to do it. Despite being asked, none of the main parties were willing to help us. Toemaar, we did it alone.
PRESS RELEASE: RP will be submitting its Non-racialism Bill to parliament today (& it took lawyers to force the ANC to accept it, so it must be good) referendumparty.org/news/press-rel…
