A few weeks ago, we made a commitment to be accountable, accessible, brave, clean and busy.
We re-affirm this commitment today, as we swear to be faithful to the Constitution of the Republic and to perform our duties in Parliament with diligence.

This is not loadshedding but ROLLING BLACKOUTS. When I was young I was taught that the beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right name. It's Rolling Electricity Blackouts across the country. We need to reclaim the language

I have been amazed by the ridiculing of Humanities degrees by some amongst us in the last 3 days. Some even went as far as terming it a simple degree. At the centre of most humanities degrees is a human being. People should not spread lies. Let's make education fashionable

I just read this story about residents reconnecting themselves to the power grid after being cut off for non payment, something that is very wrong. People happily pay for DSTV but are hellbent on not paying for Electricity. This culture needs to be changed.

Land Expropriation needs to happen as per the provisions of the constitution. We need to get one thing clear, people are not landless because of the constitution. It is because of the government that has been unwilling to implement the provisions of the constitution.
