Prince Mashele ate and left no crumbs. 😭🫡🇿🇦.
I hope @helenzille & @HermanMashaba take this very very very seriously. 🔥🔥🔥

On Chris Pappas: He’s your classic quadruple threat.
1. Technical Policy & Governance - a degree in town planning.
2. Cross gender and racial appeal- political savviness. Obviously. 🤩
3. Independent thinker- he’s widely regarded as an outsider within the DA machinery of “ internal party politics, fundraising culture and careerism”
The Blues are brutal in this regard. They will dump you if you don’t keep to the script and don’t deliver. We’ve all seen their leadership body count. 😱🤯😳
4. He’s hyper local and authentic- his fluency in isiZulu- even our cultural nuances endears him to his rural constituency.
He has the African man gravitas . ( he appeals to people like me- indoda must have soft power, but mayihlale iyindoda - provide safety and security!)
He’s not a big guy. But ukhona. Unesithunzi. Much more than Geordin and Solly. (this is highly subjective btw)
So we went to a local pub to watch #SpringboksVsItaly, since we ditched @DStv last month after, I dunno, 35 years.? Had such fun! So well done on your new “packages” @canalplus. Au revoir and good luck!

But this is YOU! Fair-weathered, xenophobic political flipflopper with no backbone. Watch out @Our_DA. Not even the balls to fire YOUR mayor @nasiphim, but suspend the facilities manager, with nearly 1k ill from no Cl. When do @HermanMashaba and @Action4SA become accountable?
WATCH | ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba reflects on the party’s core values, saying he had warned that they would build a formidable political force. He says their mission is to put the ANC and DA, in particular, “in the dustbin”.

Imagine being a South African citizen, having your ID, arriving at a voting station and then being told by a group of xenophobic people that you don't belong there because of your appearance or surname.
That should worry every South African. Today it may be someone of Somali descent. Tomorrow it could be someone born here whose parents came from another country.
Citizenship is a legal status, not a popularity contest. If there is suspected electoral fraud, investigate it. Don't turn ordinary people into suspects based on how they look.
WATCH🚨
MK Party supporters manhandle a man of Somali descent who arrives at a voting station in Durban, saying he wants to cast his vote.
He presented his South African ID.

Patrick Stewart once found himself joking with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr about being three knights at the same table. No grand speech, no performance. Just a moment of shared laughter.
A long career leaves behind more than great roles. It leaves moments people remember.
