1/ Cyril Ramaphosa walking around with US$ 4 million (not denied) in cash (which is stolen, not reported to the police, and then investigated off the books) isn’t a private matter between him and the RET faction of the ANC. It is a matter of public interest, and the rule of law.

Big announcement. I’m staying on as Mayor of @CityTshwane . To finish what we started as coalition: restore the finances, build energy independence, and improve services. In the face of cadres, tenderpreneurs, and everyone else who would prefer Joburg-like leadership in Tshwane.

Dear Dr Mampara — I’m going nowhere. The last candidate you fielded in Tshwane was an unrehabilitated insolvent. We’re trying to save Tshwane from insolvency, and from networks of corruption serving your comrades. Maybe you should pay attention to your coalitions in Joburg & Ekh.

The game plan of the ANC-EFF & Gauteng premier @Lesufi is to cause political chaos in @CityTshwane , as a pretext for ‘intervention’. Only way that the ANC can get control of city resources ahead of the 2024 election. If you’re in doubt about the ANC’s character, refer to #Zondo .

Report - City of Tshwane Council: Council meeting collapsed yet again today (3rd time in a row), was supposed to elect a Mayor. DA Coalition has failed to manage its affairs since October 2022 [Last time Tshwane had an ordinary Council meeting] Its now becoming a horrible joke!

@Our_DA 5/ Essentially, the ANC government wants to maintain its lockdown powers until the national health regulations can be promulgated. The battle against anti-democratic executive overreach in South Africa now shifts: from the Disaster Management Act to the National Health Act.

The @CityTshwane is holding a meeting to elect a speaker (to replace the unrehabilitated insolvent). Gauteng premier @Lesufi is here again, in his capacity as ANC provincial chair. Clearly has lots of time for party work. ANC candidate for speaker is from the anti-Ramaphosa ATM.

It is important to note, for the record, that @kgosi_maepa is an official of the office of the Gauteng Premier @Lesufi . Not only was the premier involved in brokering Dr Makwarela’s election as ANC-EFF candidate for mayor of @CityTshwane , his office egged on the embattled mayor.

DA welcomes political office ban for municipal officials - If passed into law the Municipal Systems Amendment Bill will prohibit all municipal employees (civil servants) from holding office in a political party. A crucial victory against cadre deployment.

Better to negotiate a proper coalition agreement, even if it takes longer, than to rush headlong into government without any idea of what you’ll do and how you’ll do it. Well done to @helenzille for her tireless efforts on behalf of @Our_DA and the people of the Bay.

The judgment given by the Gauteng High Court in the #Tshwane matter, setting aside the dissolution of the metro council, and compelling ANC & EFF cllrs to attend meetings, becomes immediately enforcible despite the appeal lodged by the Gauteng government. Big win for democracy.

Being the canary in the coal mine is an important job for the opposition - my statement on the document leaked to us about the “opportunity” that the Covid-19 pandemic apparently creates for centralised government control. Let’s hear what the President has to say.

The DA is in possession of what appears to be a govt document that describes the Covid-19 pandemic as an opportunity for the “macro re-organisation of the state”, and proposes to make the Command Council system a model for government beyond the lockdown.

They said we don’t go to certain parts of the City. Well this is my second visit to Mamelodi this week, this time I’ve joined the Tswelopele Clean-Up campaign to assist residents to keep their communities clean and hopefully this will inspire many others to stop littering.

ActionSA is part of government in Tshwane, but instead of taking responsibility Herman wants to score political points against the selfsame government. If they’re not trying to bring the EFF to power, they’re threatening to vote against a budget their councillors helped to draft.

The president has placed himself in a position in which he can’t, according to his personal legal advice, answer a question in Parliament. If you still think Phalaphala and Dollargate are just creations of the ANC’s RET faction, you’ll probably believe anything.

ActionSA must decide whether they want to build a successul, post-ANC coalition government in SA’s capital city, or play games. They can’t do both. If they side with the ANC & EFF to vote down Tshwane’s adjustment budget, they’ll betray the people of Tshwane & their own mandate.

ActionSA says it will vote against the adjustment budget of the multi-party coalition in the City of Tshwane despite being a signatory party to the coalition. In the main, they are unhappy with the allocation/s to address the water crisis and say their proposals were rejected.

The ANC has now re-captured Joburg, but they won’t be able to disavow Geoff Makhudo or his misdeeds like they have done with Bobani in Nelson Mandela Bay. The new Joburg mayor is 100% ANC, and his record in the previous failed and crooked ANC administration precedes him.
