We really need to expand knowledge and understanding on what Constitutional Democracy is :)

Tomorrow, the @EFFSouthAfrica will hold its Tshela Thupa rally in Orlando Stadium, concluding the final phase of the elections campaign. Tomorrow also marks exactly six months since the Premier of Gauteng appointed the EFF Gauteng Chairperson, Commissar Nkululeko Dunga (@DungaLeko) as MEC of Finance, custodian of the R179 billion provincial budget in a province that contributes more than 32.5% of the country's GDP.
Of all the media articles published when Chair was appointed, it was the Business Day (@BDliveSA) article that claimed his appointment "was not in good faith". So when the MEC invited the media to hear his account of the past 6 months in office, we saw an opportunity to challenge the notion that the EFF cannot be in a coalition without chaos, and to confront some of these DA-sponsored media characterisations. And we did.
For this budget to work, let's go and win, Fighter! We need a Johannesburg that works.

This is why, in a world ever more driven by populist hate, I could not be prouder to be voting for Dr T this year, and I hope you do too.

Delighted to join the Conflict Dynamics panel of mediators!
Conflict is human. Resolving it should leave room for our humanity too. I look forward to helping people find practical ways forward, grounded in dignity and fairness.

A first marathon finish deserves a proper celebration. A year ago it felt unimaginable; now there is a finish-line photo and a medal to settle the matter.
🏅Medal Monday🏅
Marathon debut: finished! 🏅
Last year, I couldn’t imagine it. On the course, I wanted to give up more times than I can count. But I crossed that finish line. Heart full.
Legs considering legal action. 😂❤️

Mental illness doesn't excuse behavior.
There's a belief that a diagnosis means a person isn't responsible for their behavior.
Two things can be true: we can understand someone is mentally unwell and still understand they're dangerous.

Our passion and our drive is not matched by processes and resources and infrastructure that works. The EFF’s commitments to insourcing municipal services and expanding access to basic infrastructure with a greater emphasis on how residents participate in decisions affecting their communities; ward-based people’s assemblies, technical oversight teams to scrutinise infrastructure spending and a one-stop municipal service centre where entrepreneurs and informal traders can get help with permits, registration and compliance.
We work hard in Johannesburg, but we also come here to play and to dream, and to be creative. And I think it’s very important to not neglect that.
