It’s really important for all entities to feel the consequences of their actions.

She gets my vote despite her representing the DA. Joburg needs an actual leader and you can say what you want about Helen, but she is most likely to fix our beautiful city.
Joburg’s people will never give up on her, and I am one of them! It is a privilege to accept the nomination as mayoral candidate for this great city. We will not let taps stay dry. We won’t accept brokenness. We will wrestle Jozi back from a criminal mafia. #BelieveInJoburg 🇿🇦

Hey @dineshgovender! Refurb isn’t too shabby in Cape Town. Well done to you and the team. Lounge looks amazing. The space has been rearranged so that everyone gets that beautiful view. It’s just the internet speed is a “thing” but I assume, that’s not only in your control?

We are in such an abusive relationship with our government that most South Africans can't imagine what life feels like when things just work. It's actually crazy what we have learned to accept as "normal". There is no other way to say it. This is abuse.

How is sports betting not regulated like alcohol or cigarettes? The impact in South Africa is just as destructive. It’s sold as harmless entertainment but it preys on vulnerable people, especially those already under financial pressure 🤯 At least alcohol and cigarettes come with

South Africa is leaderless. Not just in government, but also in corporate South Africa and across the various religions. All of these people are complicit alongside the ANC as they’ve destroyed this country. They’re all sucking at the hind tit of the ANC and don’t want to raffle

We get the government we deserve. We experience the consequences because we’re not willing to say enough is enough.

Here's the one mega lesson to learn from @nasiphim: She uses her social media channels to speak about the work her and the team are doing. Unless I've missed it, you almost never see her speaking about other parties. Take note @ME_Beaumont 🙃
This afternoon, we held an engagement with Marabastad informal traders. The traders had written to my office about illegal immigrants who are trading illegally in the City - taking away business from legally registered informal vendors in the sector. What we’ve committed to today

Today is “Youth Day” in South Africa but I genuinely don’t know what there is to celebrate. Most of our youth don’t have the skills to take part in the economy because the education system is broken. Most don’t have jobs because the economy is broken. And worst of all, most don’t

Hey @jsteenhuisen! Isn't it amazing how the GNU manages to find R700mil to have a "chat" about how to move SA forward, but there's no money for teachers, no money to fix schools, no money for nurses, no money for proper infrastructure, etc.? Somehow there’s always money for blue

No one hates black people more than the ANC. Instead of listening to what they say, just look at what they’ve done over the years. The ANC gives black South Africans just enough not to riot but never enough to actually get ahead: ✅ The ANC has gone out of its way to keep the

Our economy affects every single person in South Africa. The reason more people should be furious with our government is because they've broken every institution in this country. You think your frustration is with your neighbour or a fellow citizen, but we are all just trying to

The last thing we need is more dialogue. We just need a government that will put citizens first and stop stealing every cent they can get their hands on. The ANC are the masters of distraction. They use this same trick every time and the majority of South Africans fall for it.

We have some of the highest levels of unemployment in the world, especially among young people and we also have a government keeps telling us they care about the poor 🤣 Meanwhile, the Deputy President spent R346,000 a night in London. Most South Africans can’t even comprehend

A year later, what has the GNU actually done to improve life in South Africa? The answer is very little. If you weren’t paying attention when the GNU was formed, there’s no way you’d look at the stats today and know anything had changed. The ANC never left power. They just

I will keep tell you that the ANC neither has the ability or the desire to lead this country. We will ALL look back one day in absolute shock as we try to explain to young people why we allowed this criminal syndicate to ruin the future of ALL South Africans.

I’m reminded more and more each day just how short life really is. Social media plays a role in this because now you're exposed to someone has lost a granny, uncle, or close friend. Years ago, you wouldn’t have known, now it’s everywhere. And as we get older, death feels closer

Whether a country is wealthy or poor is not about luck or resources. It comes down to how free people are to make their own economic choices. I'm sure some on Twitter will find this difficult to understand but this post isn't for them 😅 The Economic Freedom Index measures how

This is the kind of tweet that tries to pass as "the voice of the people on Twitter." It’s just hate dressed up as "truth". The only purpose is to stir emotion, divide people and farm engagement. Most likely they want a freebie in the background. People who post stuff like this
No amount of propaganda that can convince me that White in South Africa don’t want apartheid back. They never wanted a democratic state
