Can't wait when TMPD,EMPD and JMPD are all overseen by ActionSA!
Introduce tech-imagined policing ie.Real-time surveillance,AI-supported licence readers & biometric initiatives to name a few across the 3 agencies that surpasses even SAPS.
Units collaborating across municipal lines & jurisdictions,combining budgets and capabilities will suffocate criminal cartels. @HermanMashaba @XolaniKhumalo_ @Funzi_Ngobeni
@SAPoliceService, kindly treat this case with the HIGHEST PRIORITY.
No South African entrepreneur should be terrorised, assaulted or intimidated for operating a Spaza Shop in our communities. We cannot allow criminals who enter our country illegally to dictate who has the right to do business in South Africa. The rule of law must prevail and South Africans Must Be Protected!!

#POWEROUTAGE
132kV power lines tripped affecting Bronkhorstspruit substation.
Areas affected are:
1. Erasmus Town
2. Riamarpark
3. Masada
4. Cultura Park
5. Bester Park
6. Vester Park
7. Zithobeni
Technicians are busy investigating the cause of the trip.
When are South Africans going to wise up to the need for a nationalist government,one that places at the forefront laws to strengthen national sovereignty & safeguard the future of it's citizens.
A system that's promotes the purging of corrupt officials within a governing party's own ranks.
I'm not talking CCP in China or the many failed socialist regimes in Africa & South America.Look at policies of the Japanese,Thai & Germans in this regard.
Tatjana Smith gets failed by Swimming SA, and she has a Dutch passport to fall back on.
Onthatile Zulu had to beg for hockey funding while R31m went on a FIFA World Cup trip. She has no Netherlands to switch to.
Same system failing both. Only one has an exit. 🇿🇦

I'd like to see it.
One of the more interesting options being floated within the ANC for partnering with the DA is a confidence-and-supply proposal. This means the DA governs alone in metros where it is the biggest party and the ANC does the same, with each party protecting the other from no-confidence votes.
I like this idea because it gives voters what they asked for AND it gives everyone a chance to see who governs well. Plus, it removes the instability within councils where parties trying to work together fall out.
I doubt the ANC will agree to it, though, because it would see the DA govern alone in the three Gauteng metros AND Nelson Mandela Bay, while the ANC takes Mangaung and Buffalo City.
Still... a sensible option.

I heard him talking about bootsrapping his entire campaign on radio.
This man is no one's puppet as some would like to believe.
He accepts funding where it is offered because frankly every party needs it, but the difference is that he never compromises on his goals for his party. That has apparently led to situations where funding had to be withdrawn in many instances.
The ANC is stuck between a rock & hard place.
🔵 Forced to consider a confidence & supply agreement with the DA, giving Zille 3 gauteng metros to reduce influence of kingmakers.
🟢Sees ActionSA as threat in 2029 after losing wards.
Again,it is my hope @HermanMashaba doesn't get desperate,and let's them get into a GNU-style arrangement. Let it crash & burn after local structures get fed up with DA.They will come back running.
ActionSA is also at a crossroads. We have two legacy parties who have on separate occasions through statements and actions regarded them as a threat.
Typically,if you consider someone a threat you try to find ways to neutralise them.Thats what I would do 👀.
ANC did with COPE.DA wanted to neutralise ActionSA through multi-party/ moonshot bloc advocacy and coalitions where they dominated the executive.
🟢⛔ActionSA's aggressive approach in the Tshwane talks to install Nasiphi helped boost the party.They can't afford to go backwards at the negotiation table by allowing another party to dictate terms and structure of coalition(Moonshot/GNU style bloc or under representation in MayCO).

I don't think it was a secret that ActionSA wanted to hold onto Tshwane.EFF's Julius Malema said as much in his post election presser.
It is yet to be seen how desperate they get.
Doesn't matter what ActionSA wants.
They have already played all their cards. They hold none right now. And their desperation to hold onto Tshwane means they will probably do anything for anyone.

💯👊🏽 Ideally ActionSA should get the mayoral chain in two metros(Tshwane & Ekuhurleni).
The ANC must not have Joburg after:
1. The disaster that is Dada Morero.
2.Rejected by electorate at 20%.
Any other party can lead the executive with ActionSA getting 3-4 MMCs.Same in Ekuhurleni.
YOU have another bite at the apple after 2021-2026. DONT WASTE TIME compromising on representation in the MAYCO for stability! You made that mistake before.

Let the DA elect their mayor. It is their democratic right.

ActionSA Joburg Councillor-elects are ready to hit the ground running. Most of them have already started addressing service delivery issues in their wards.
Come back to politics! Provincial legislature would suit you or perhaps national.
2029 the green machine is making moves!

Let the entire DA/Zille electorate reveal themselves.
Unfortunately for them,we live in a democracy.35% doesn't entitle you to the mayoral chain,you have to talk to other parties and most importantly--treat partners with respect.
The “Keep Helen Zille out of office” campaign is so strident, so personal, so impassioned, that one begins to wonder if some are not trying to hide or perpetuate the corruption that led to the city’s collapse.
She ran; got 35%. If she can form a govt, let her at it let’s see.
