WATCH: 🚨EFF meltdown loading….🚨😭 #MadlangaCommission

Ramaphosa’s frontliners in a fight against crime. Does this man take us seriously?

Mr Bean & Ms Auditor are leading our battle against crime, and with Angie leading our soldiers. Cry the beloved country!🥲

Call me crazy.... Flood all the @MYANC posts with this, especially Cyril and Fuckile.

Evidence before the Madlanga Commission indicates that in June and July 2023, TMPD official, Major Lebogang Phiri, received direct payments from William Mashupye labelled “services rendered.” Phiri has told the commission the funds were a personal loan to purchase vehicle tyres. The issue is that the paper trail and the explanation don’t align neatly and that’s exactly where accountability mechanisms should kick in. Situations like this strengthen the case for routine lifestyle audits on public officials, not as a punishment, but as a basic transparency tool. When income, transactions, and lifestyle don’t clearly match, it creates space for suspicion and undermines public trust. If authorities want to restore credibility, these audits need to be consistent, independent, and actually enforced, otherwise they become just another policy on paper.

Has Cyril ever fired anybody, except for Andrew Whitfield?

Iran thinks they can fight their way through this war by making threats. First, they threatened to target any US Naval assets enforcing the blockade; Trump called their bluff and implemented his blockade. Second, Iran threatened to blow up vessels in the Strait with their underwater mines; Trump laughed at their foolery and sent destroyers to clear the underwater mines. Third, Iran threatened to bypass the US blockade with force, then tried but ended up in Trump's hands. 4 ships from Iran's shadow fleet are now in US custody while 31 Iran-linked vessels were sent back by the US Navy. Fourth, after the second negotiation talks failed, Iran threatened to target other vessels from other countries; Trump just laughed at their local gimmicks and gave them 5 days to come up with a sensible proposal. Fifth, as other threats failed woefully, Iran returned with a fresh threat against global oil infrastructures and underwater cables; Trump didn't even respond, he just continued with his blockade. Now, Iran is threatening to rename the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of Persia, and tolls would be collected in Iran's currency and the vessels of US allies would be targeted; Trump didn't even bother to read the empty nonsense, he just ordered his Navy to step up the blockade a little by targeting and killing any Iranian boats seen within the Strait of Hormuz. Trump is the only person who understands how to cure the madness of these hardliners. 🤗

"We seem to believe that the world owes us something because of our history, and anybody who dares question our failed policy choices is themselves to blame for our shortcomings. The President’s rhetoric in Barcelona is a case in point – simultaneously railing against the West while demanding its help and money." My latest column for @CommonSense_ZA (linked below)

Amazing how he could fire @andrewhitfield for going on a field trip but can’t fire ANYBODY in his cabinet from the ANC; especially those involved in gross corruption. It’s not cadre politics, it’s a mafia.

JUST IN: Iran just pulled a thirty-year-old empty supertanker out of retirement and began towing it toward Kharg Island. She is moving so slowly that a voyage that should take a day and a half is taking four days. Her name is NASHA. IMO 9079107. Built 1996. A two-million-barrel very large crude carrier that has been anchored empty off Kharg for years. TankerTrackers confirmed her reactivation yesterday. Gulf News, Iran International, and Fox News all picked it up within hours. The reason she is moving at all is that Iran is running out of places to put the oil. Kharg Island handles roughly ninety percent of Iran’s crude exports. Its onshore tanks had about thirteen million barrels of spare capacity when the US blockade began on April 13. Net inflow since has been running at one million to one point one million barrels per day because exports have collapsed to single digits of vessels while upstream production continues. The math is mechanical. Roughly twelve days of spare capacity. The calendar says that window closes this week. NASHA is not a strategy. NASHA is what you do when you have run out of strategy. A two-million-barrel floating storage vessel buys Iran approximately forty-eight hours of continued upstream production. After that, either the wells get shut in or the crude goes somewhere else. The parallel options being pursued, ship-to-ship transfers in the Riau Archipelago, AIS-dark transits, sanctioned VLCCs returning home through the blockade line, are not enough. Lloyd’s List Intelligence has tracked roughly twenty-six Iran-linked vessels evading since April 13. That cannot absorb a million barrels a day. The wells will shut in. The question is which wells, for how long, and whether they come back. The Asmari and Bangestan carbonate formations that sit under most of Iran’s giant southern fields are high-permeability, strong-water-drive systems. The Society of Petroleum Engineers literature on this specific reservoir class is unambiguous. Remove continuous pressure support for a prolonged shut-in and four damage mechanisms activate simultaneously: water coning upward through the fracture network, fines migration into pore throats, formation compaction under increased effective stress, and clay swelling under altered salinity and pH. The damage is not theoretical. It is documented. And it is measured in months to years of recoverable production capacity, not days. Maleki and Gordon estimate three hundred to five hundred thousand barrels per day of permanent capacity loss if the current shut-in trajectory completes. That is a directional estimate, not a lab measurement, but the direction is not in dispute. NASHA is the archaeological signature of the clock. When a country with the world’s third-largest oil reserves reactivates a thirty-year-old retired tanker to float on top of its main export terminal and buy forty-eight hours of time, the institutional systems designed to absorb shocks have already failed. The insurance market, the shadow fleet, the diplomatic channels, and the reservoir physics are all converging on the same conclusion at different speeds, and NASHA is the one that shows up on satellite. The market is pricing a ceasefire. The Pentagon is pricing six months of mine clearance. Iran just pulled a corpse out of the Persian Gulf and asked it to buy two days. That is not how a reversible crisis looks. That is how a regime tells you, operationally, that it has run out of options between the blockade and the shut-in. The reservoir does not negotiate. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

🚨BREAKING: EXECUTED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, R1 MILLION CASH LEFT BEHIND AS TENDER KING IGO MPAMBANI IS GUNNED DOWN IN HIS BENTLEY‼️ Armed suspects just gunned down businessman Ignatius “Igo” Mpambani (37) in his Bentley on Bowling Avenue, Sandton, in broad daylight, he was declared dead at the scene. Inside the luxury vehicle was Nearly R1 Million in cash left completely untouched‼️ This wasn’t a robbery. This was a professional hit‼️ 🔥Mpambani was neck-deep in the controversial R255 million Free State asbestos audit tender, one of those "dodgy deals" that screamed corruption from day one. He had a lavish lifestyle, supercars and big money‼️ When tenderpreneurs start dropping like this and the cash is left behind, there are questions⁉️ Who ordered the hit? What’s the real motive behind the asbestos millions? Why is no one talking about the bigger picture? The tender game in South Africa just got deadly‼️

So President Ramaphosa just appointed Lt Gen Puleng Dimpane as Acting National Commissioner of SAPS. Why her? And more importantly ..; what does the president stand to gain? Look at her background: ·Degree in Commerce & Honours in Business Admin. ·Spent years as SAPS CFO ..; great with spreadsheets, budgets, and audits. But leading the entire police service? Fighting crime? Strategy against gangs, violent protests, cash-in-transit heists? Nothing. She joined SAPS in 2007 ..; yes, almost 20 years. But she never bothered to get a single degree in policing, criminology, law enforcement, or public safety. Not even a diploma. So now she's supposed to be the country's top cop? This isn't about merit. It's about control. Ramaphosa wants someone who won't rock the boat, who'll clean up "procurement" (i.e., hide the paper trail), and who owes her position to him. She's a financial manager ..; not a crime fighter. This is like making your accountant the army general. She’s not fit for the job. Agree or disagree?

So Fannie Masemola is being suspended for allegedly violating the Public Finance Management Act, and the person set to replace him is the CFO, the same individual responsible for managing those funds in the first place. How does that make any sense?
