Mood going forward… ..ain’t nothing we can do so chill

In the middle of war, in Iran, at dawn, at the call to prayer, they took a 68-year-old architect from his cell to the gallows and executed him. This is how they rule Iran: they cut the internet. They torture political prisoners to do false confessions. They air it on state TV. They execute them. Then they announce it on state media. We Iranians are living in horror and it is beyond sad that international media barely talks about it. I believe this silence will embolden the regime to turn mass arrests into mass executions. His name was Abolhassan Montazer, and he had heart and lung disease. They denied him medicine.

@ScrrreamingPink Seems his wealth was bequeathed and not acquired through business acumen and smarts. The waste of precious public money and inflated BEE deals is too terrible.

@morrow_nw That said, a few of his businesses failed. He bought his wife a Bentley SUV for closing down her pet project, a patisserie in Dainfern.

One thing about our Jonny come lately nouveau riche, BEE tenderpreneurs, they know how to spend conspicuously. Just don’t ask them to ever create or develop anything worthwhile.

@ScrrreamingPink Yes…there are the few that spend their BEE largesse more wisely.

@morrow_nw One thing I will say for my BEE billionaire client of a few years ago is that he bought game reserves and farms in addition to Bentleys. And created a wine estate on the Jukskei (yes, really). He owns a significant chunk of Lanseria.

@drpezeshkian @SamSoleZA Just stop executing and slaughtering your innocent young civilians…thats all.

Just as I was addressing the American people, the head of our Strategic Council on Foreign Policy was targeted in an assassination attempt, leading to the martyrdom of his innocent wife. Let the world judge; which side engages in dialogue and negotiation, and which in terrorism?

@BlueNip Remember Dominic Sandbrook on The Rest is History saying that this kind of conspicuous flashing of wealth in previously poor people is symptomatic of deep feelings of inferiority and insecurity. I guess our lot know deep down they don’t deserve this wealth.

@morrow_nw Ubuntu is a myth.

@Judaeda3 @ToAmused Shameful

Our Covid PPE monies💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

@Julius_S_Malema You do realise it’s illegal to publicly disseminate private conversations without permission?

Bafana Mathebula and handlers, like all of them, don't have a brain of their own.🤷🏿‍♂️

@IraninSA Are you not disgusted with the hanging and executions of young innocent Iranians by your regime? Shame on you. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones

Aren’t you ashamed of your selective use of international law? Killing children, medical staff, and civilians is a clear violation of international law. The USA and Israel regimes are doing so. Did you even know that?

@IvynSambo He is corrupt….that is the difference

When the leader of the DA, John Steenhuisen, was appointed as Minister of Agriculture, DA leaders and members did not ask him about his qualifications (Which he does not have) to be a minister. But now, a young man, Nkululeko Dunga, is appointed as MEC of Finance out of nowhere the DA is questioning his qualifications?

That the SA judiciary is truly independent is the great myth of the post-apartheid era. The ANC’s determination to have control over every lever of power has not spared the bench. WSM's column on @Politicsweb politicsweb.co.za/opinion/how-in…

@mehdirhasan Whoever sits behind that account is a disgusting antisemitic idiot. An embarrassment to the diplomatic service .

You will never guess what was removed from this snake 🤯

The small rescue team from Animals Lebanon heads into Beirut's southern suburbs, struck almost daily by Israeli aircraft, looking for trapped animals. The NGO says its teams have rescued 241 animals from those suburbs and south Lebanon since the start of the Middle East war.

@Sinawo_Thambo But what about VBS looting by Julius and Floyd? What about Julius’s involvement with the illicit cigarette mafia? Does this not concern you?

It is refreshing that neutrals can see the threat the EFF and its leader Julius Malema, poses to domestic and international capital. Puppets will be deployed to distract our attention from the mission. Our decision is to fight.

@abelmike @TonyBeamish @jdrsampson One needs no qualifications for plunder

Well, it’s an interesting question Jeremy, so I looked up the answer. It seems Mr Dunga has no financial qualifications at all. This is then quite an odd decision then, given a R179 billion overhead budget is bigger than that of any corporate in South Africa (who are filled with actuaries, economists and CA’s). One would imagine having responsibility for 7% of the full national budget, who be placed in the hands of someone who had the qualifications and experience to do this, and had not been fired by the very same party, for not being able to handle that budget efficiently nor effectively. But maybe I’m just too simple to understand the logic of it all?

Truly mysterious how local politics works. Is this not the very same Nkululeko Dunga who was fired as Ekurhuleni Finance MMC by ANC Mayor Xhakaza in 2024 who now lands the whole Gauteng Finance MEC job? Did I miss the part where his track record suddenly improved, or is “coalition politics” a new qualification on its own? The one area that needs critical focus in Gauteng right now, as literally everyone knows, is the judicious allocation of funds to fix infrastructure. Will this help fix Gauteng? How will his R179 billion budget be allocated?

@IraninSA Ummm it’s a F15 …try at least get your facts right porkies

Isn't National Braai Day on September 24th in Mzansi? Let's celebrate sooner.😉
