What a surprise. The unelected central bank directors obviously applied their minds independently and thought this major change would be great for the citizens. It’s just a coincidence that other countries’ banks are doing the same. No conspiracy at all.

Dit blyk dat daar ’n misverstand is. As ons teen ’n regering is wat teen die land regeer, beteken dit nie dat ons teen die land is nie. Die regering is teen die land, en daarom behoort ons almal teen die regering te wees. Dit is nie dislojaal teenoor die land nie; dit is lojaal.

The ANC says it is extremely concerned that the ANC government has increased fuel prices to record-high prices wherein we are now paying over R30 per litre of 95 unleaded petrol & for all grades of diesel (with over 34% of the pump price comprising ANC government’s punitive taxes & levies).
The ANC further says it will fight the ANC government on our behalf through something called the ANC Study Group.
This is a developing, make believe story.

It has become clear why the DA wanted Home Affairs. They wanted to weaken our borders, bring in all kinds of refugees to distract native South Africans, while continuing to sell our country to the highest bidder. Wake up!!

The recess has enabled the evidence leaders to properly interrogate the cellphone records of Msibi and KT Molefe, as well as the City of Johannesburg documents.
We ask The President to extend the term of the Commission until April 2027. The Commissioners must be allowed to proceed at their own pace and leave no stone unturned. The fight against corruption must not be rushed we demand a thorough and quality clean-up.@CyrilRamaphosa

Complete hogwash.
When you received R496 billion in taxpayer bailouts since 2008;
when you increased electricity tariffs by 907% since 2007;
and when you are owed R356 billion by municipalities;
you did NOT turn a profit.
Eskom proves that state ownership and commercial viability can go hand in hand.
Public ownership. Financial sustainability. Development. That is the power of a capable developmental state.

Ratepayers, wake up: Cape Town’s new by-law is a direct attack on your rights
The DA-led City of Cape Town has just pushed through a Municipal Planning By-law that treats residents like afterthoughts. Building plans for multi-storey developments next door? You’ll only hear about them after they’re already approved. The only “notice” is a bare listing on a municipal website. Miss it, and tough luck. Want to see the actual plans? Apply, then pay a prescribed fee — so typical of the DA — just to access what is being built beside your home.
Worse: once you get those plans, sharing the details with fellow ratepayers or your local association is now a criminal offence unless it fits their narrow “lawful purpose” rules. Ratepayers’ organisations have effectively been muzzled. Public debate is shut down. This isn’t transparency — it’s controlled, paywalled access designed to protect developers while leaving neighbours in the dark until the concrete is pouring.
Democratic? Hardly.
Real participation happens before decisions are locked in, not after. Relying on people to constantly check a website and then charge them for basic information is exclusionary and insulting. Criminalising the free flow of information about what is being built in our own streets violates the spirit of open government and free expression.
THE DA FORGET THAT THEY ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS.
THEY THINK THAT THEY OWN OUR HOMES AND NEIGHOURHOODS.
We do not want this by-law. It prioritises speed and revenue for the City and developers over the rights of the people who live here and pay the rates.
Demand it be scrapped or radically amended. Push your councillors. Support legal challenges. Vote this majority out if they refuse to listen.
Our neighbourhoods are not their construction sites.

The people of the Western Cape (a majority of all races) want power to be taken away from the national government and given to the provincial government
The WC govt keep on asking, the national govt keeps saying no. This is exactly why the right to self-determination exists

🚨32 YEARS OF PLUNDER, COLLAPSE AND LIES‼️
Mandisa Mashego just dropped the coldest truth South Africa refuses to face‼️
Everywhere a black-majority administration, company or municipality takes over it gets destroyed, plundered, stolen from and then they romanticise the theft🔥
Every province and metro, the entire national government‼️ Look at the infrastructure, the joblessness relative to population, look at the ratios. She didn’t stop at SouthAfrica, she said go look at black-run municipalities in America too, trashed🔥
This is not “racism", this is the record. 32 years of sorrow, agony, pain and confusion and the same people still scream “transformation” while the country "burns"‼️
Mandisa is one of the few still willing to say it out loud. It is about time for change, real change, not another decade of the same failed experiment‼️
