@BelindaE6 @DA_JHB @DadaMorero @CityofJoburgZA Lets also be honest, parties that voted against the payment want to use this for instability in jhb for election campaigning against the ANC. Remember people are not oblivious to DA tricks. DA have no interest in the people of Jhb, but misleading info.
English

@DA_JHB has received whistle blower info that allegedly @DadaMorero is plotting to distabilise the City, allegedly fabricating charges against CM, GCFO and other Senior officials for listing risks to the @CityofJoburgZA in the Adjustment budget report. Allegedly this will include a smear campaign against Cllrs & senior officials like CM & other's @MYANC seems desperate to loot the City’s resources to fund its 2026 Local Government election campaign & including the so called "shutdown Joburg" campaign to stop service delivery . We see you as we get whistleblower information on his shenanigans and that of the ANC led coalition. This madness must stop @MbalulaFikile @DAGauteng @helenzille @Our_DA

Good Morning Residents of Johannesburg The Executive Mayor @DadaMorero has been mobilizing ANC branches to encourage support to SAMWU for unfunded mandates. Below is his clip and city employees posted this to a @DA_JHB councilor. If you don't get service delivery know who instigated it

@BelindaE6 @DA_JHB @DadaMorero @CityofJoburgZA Belinda Belinda, why do you sound despite like people we know. We are aware it is LG elections, but your whistle blower must not mislead you. For along time DA complaint about Senior management now you coming with charges against them. Samwu must be paid en klaar

I’m not in this important campaign to face off anyone.
I have accepted this brutal responsibility to serve all residents of our collapsing city @CityofJoburgZA. This is my only Agenda.

@HermanMashaba For a president of a small party to talk about someone in his party like this, leaves alot to be desired.

I am sorry to Nobuhle for failing to recover from losing a seat as Speaker.
ActionSA is not about holding senior positions which you failed dismally to represent.
You failed to use the position to hold the mayor accountable, and in the process, failed the residents.
Shem!

Joburg big shot dumps ActionSA. In her letter Nombuhle Mthembu raises concerns about ActionSA s lack of democratic values, transparency and genuine engagement ! ActionSA is facing existential crisis!

@HermanMashaba Masaba you will always be know as Ama11 bring back the money from Hammerskraal to Joburg, maybe then we can talk. You are part of the problem remember Sibiya ?

Johannesburg deserves a leader who serves the people; not political interests.
The City is broken because those in charge have failed residents. Years of poor leadership have left Johannesburg worse off.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Johannesburg can be put back on the right track.

@DadaMorero Shame! some people just don't understand if you don't have anything to say, they should keep quiet. Keep doing your best EM.
English

Your intense resentment towards me seems disproportionate and is difficult to understand. It appears you are consistently engaged in disseminating false information about me on a daily basis. These actions are not only unfounded but also damaging, and they contribute to a persistent atmosphere of hostility.

I got a notification this morning from our lawyer friends that I do not know. It read, "FINAL DEMAND: MR LB MAHLANGU, despite previous notifications, your SABC TV Lic acc 479****471 for R*** remains unpaid. Failure to pay within 48hrs will result in further penalties. Pay now: payat.io/qr/***** VVM 0877401212:"
Very spicy and confrontational. I think they were trying to scare me to submission, but it had the opposite effect. It made me curious and I started going down the rabbit hole, researching the origin of the TV license. I had written before about the introduction of TVs in 1976, but I had never delved deeper into the TV license fee.
South Africa’s TV licence system was designed in a different era, when owning a television almost automatically meant consuming public broadcast content. To be precise, this was in 1976 when televisions were introduced.
Under the Constitution of our beloved republic, laws must be rational, non-arbitrary and serve a legitimate public purpose. Now let’s apply this scrutiny to TV licences quickly.
Well, from examination, they do pass the first hurdle because they are not classified as a tax, but rather as a regulatory fee tied to public broadcasting.
What this essentially means from a legal point of view is that the licence exists to fund the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC), support local content, public-interest news and broadcasting in all of our eleven (11) official languages. Courts have historically accepted that owning regulated property (such as a TV, vehicle or firearm) can carry legal obligations.
The problem, it seems, is not the goal of the TV licence. Public broadcasting is a legitimate constitutional objective. The problem is the mechanism, insofar as it relates to funding.
The difference between 1976 (when TVs first came) and today is that we use TVs for streaming, gaming and presentations. But it would be disingenuous to limit it to just those things. There are still millions of South Africans who sconsume SABC content but it doesn’t change the fact that public broadcasting today is platform-agnostic. Apart from SABC, we watch Moja Love, Mzansi Magic and eTV. I haven't even mentioned all the other channels that you'd get on a DStv package.
This might seem like a small detail but upon introspection, you'll realize that it weakens the rational connection between owning a television and funding public broadcasting. By its nature, constitutionalism is such that when a law no longer achieves its purpose effectively, it becomes vulnerable to being declared irrational or arbitrary.
But I hate to break it to you, TV licences are not going away anytime soon. If challenged, a court is unlikely to abolish the TV licence outright. Instead, it would probably rule that the objective remains valid, but the funding model is outdated (rightly so) and must be revised by Parliament. South African courts typically favour legislative correction over demolition.
TV licences survive not because they make economic sense, but because the law has not yet caught up with technological reality, which is the SABC no longer enjoys the monopoly on broadcasting. They remain constitutional but are living on borrowed time.
The real question is no longer whether the TV licence is constitutional, but how long parliament can avoid replacing a broken model without triggering constitutional intervention.
And I will pay my lawyer friends as soon as I find the willpower to do so. For now, I don't care😅

Breaking News:
It is alleged that Dada Morero played a huge role in ensuring that, the footage of Dj Warra’s killers is being completely destroyed.
Dada Morero along with the use MMC of Public and Safety in COJ, have shown South Africans that they are part of mafias involved in hijacked buildings!

@goolamv You got my vote, if you should stand again Mr President.

The law abiding citizens of South Africa want President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The world wants Cyril Ramaphosa as president.
The rating agencies want Cyril Ramaphosa as president
The IMF want Cyril Ramaphosa as president. The European Union wants Ramaphosa as president. The DA.PA andIFP want Ramaphosa as The President. The MKP openly say we are hungry and need to remove him.
Interestingly if you read the constitution carefully I could be wrong. Ramaphosa gets elected president ANC. Then the deputy becomes president of SA. They then redeploy the deputy to Luthuli house. BOOM RAMAPHOSA WILL BE PRESIDENT AGAIN for a 3rd term. Perhaps I read it wrong but legal experts can let us know.
Only people who do not want Cyril as president is Jacob Zuma and Julius Malema. and Zimbabwe. I shudder to think what Jacob Zuma would do on the next round. First wasted 9 years about a trillion looted.
President Cyril Ramaphosa may not have got certain things right, but he stabilised the country. Now wait for the GNU led by Ramaphosa like never seen.Rama we support you, you the only hope but start cracking the whip.
