People who say "I don't do politics" forget that politics doesn't care. It will do them.
No water for 5 days in Midrand? That's politics doing you.
High petrol prices? That's politics doing you.
Pothole wrecked your tyres? That's politics doing you.
So vote. That's all.

1. So, I come from communities where the mosques, methodist and Catholic churches are on same property divided by simple fences (Bosmont). We prayed, laughed and cried in all depending on whether it’s a wedding, baptism or funeral.This campaign to divide South Africans will fail
Glad to see it!
The latest issue of The JRB. Feel it, it is here. Finally.

Why must rate paying residents come on here day after day and beg for updates on water outages in North Riding @JHBWater ? It is shameful to just ignore the cries of people like they dont exist @DadaMorero @Lesufi

A resident drummed on plastic buckets, adding a beat to this morning’s protests on Main Road in Melville, where frustrated residents gathered to demand answers after weeks without water.

Multiple people tried to break into South Africa's Constitutional Court today with pangas (machetes) because they disliked a court ruling on the rights of asylum-seekers.
On the same day when the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded to a South African for upholding international law.

Listen to an exclusive call with our newest peace laureate Navi Pillay.
Pillay couldn't believe that she had been awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Kristian Berg Harpviken, Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, was happy to confirm that the news was true.

The Guptas LITERALLY stole South Africa, with Jacob Zuma's help, and Oom Guptapants is literally rolling with March and March, who are literally rolling with AfriForum. And now they're all blaming foreign black people for all SA's problems.
You've been played sweeties.
Quite a moment for SA and human rights!
2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Navi Pillay’s commitment to universal legal principles and her firm moral compass are constants in a long career. Born into a family of Indian Tamil origin under apartheid in Durban, South Africa, Pillay became a lawyer and legal pioneer, confronting deep structural discrimination, segregation and exclusion. A common thread runs from her early work defending Nelson Mandela and others who stood up against apartheid to her service as a judge in some of the key international court cases of our time.
This year’s laureate has significantly enlarged the scope and impact of international law. She has served as a judge on the High Court in South Africa, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court. She was the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and, until recently, she chaired the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Today Navi Pillay is a judge on the International Court of Justice in the case where Myanmar stands accused of genocide.
In historic international court cases, she has shown that legal measures can help prevent acts of war and violence. Navi Pillay has also contributed to strengthen the institutions of international law. Her independence, expertise and steadfastness have made her one of the most respected international jurists of our time.
