@dgtager Tax is like daylight robbery

I have a question for SARS : Other than salaries and perks for parliamentarians, what do we, the tax paying citizens, get from government that is worthwhile. Paying SARS is like money being stolen.

@Dzungie007 Not only tension but a tsunami of epic proportions. It will be like silencing us. Would you expect if that unfortunate event happen that the regime would have the audacity to talk to us again. No way.

Right now Jacinta has become a trend in South Africa because she is saying what resonates with many people. Arresting her would be like pressing a panic button, it would only escalate tensions further.

@MusaaRonalds I also think things went down hill since and after the 1994 elections. That's where the rot started. 30 years of corruption and maladministration.

Since 1994, South Africa's Home Affairs has been compromised. Citizenship has been bought. Documents have been sold. Our country has been traded like a commodity not by foreigners alone, but by the very officers sworn to protect our sovereignty. We need a full, independent, forensic audit of every citizenship granted since 1994. Every file. Every official. Every signature. We need to know who was naturalised, who was expedited, who was waved through and who facilitated it. How many foreign nationals were given South African identity documents without proper vetting? How many criminals, fraudsters, and economic migrants were handed the keys to our country? How many officials enriched themselves by selling our birthright? The officers who sold our country must face the full might of the law. Not scapegoats. Not low-level clerks. The architects. The syndicates. The managers. The directors. Those who turned Home Affairs into a bazaar. The audit must happen. The criminals must be prosecuted. The system must be reformed. South Africa is not for sale. And we will take it back one file, one officer, one corrupt official at a time.

@MikeRamothwala @HermanMashaba Ordinary people will lead south Africa to the proverbial promised land.

President @HermanMashaba ActionSA 💚 Ward 31 is officially launched and on the Streets of Lenyenye, The Red and Green Ethiopian 🇪🇹 house that houses the Spaza Shop CARTEL in Tzaneen was found shaking, Moses Letsoalo led us to the promised land 30 JUNE is the Deadline ‼️ Thobela

@MusaaRonalds How i love the twiter streets. If you come with useless, hypocritical below par information, south Africans don't back down from the fight. Mzansi you lekker ding

Your entitlement is very scary!!!!! You know it’s quite sad to hear Nigerian speak a lot of nonsense to us, when there is a lot of tribalism going on in your country, you killing each other, and hating each other as Nigerians, there’s no white men to do the job for you, you are doing it yourselves. And this James guys is an ignorant black men who fails to look at his own countrymen, there’s tribalism in Kenya as well, Kenyans hating Kenyans and you expect solidarity from South Africa, ridiculous, charity begins at home. Until you are united in your own countries don’t scream unity elsewhere. In South Africa we are united and we love those white men, they are ours to deal with. You speak of exposure, yet you are blind to your own. You cite Julius Malema a man who fights for land, for economic freedom, for black ownership and you twist his words to diminish South Africans. You claim we lack exposure because one panelist asked an ignorant question. But that panelist does not represent us. Julius Malema does not represent us alone. The movement he speaks of is ours a movement of South Africans who refuse to be spectators in their own country. We are not asking for handouts. We are demanding what is ours, land, resources, and dignity. You mention imperialists, colonialists, white settlers controlling our wealth. And you are right they do. But here is the difference, we fight them. We have fought them. We will continue to fight them. We protest. We vote. We organise. We are not silent. We are not passive. We do not run to other countries to escape our problems we stay and confront them head-on. Now let me address your hypocrisy. You speak of white settlers controlling South Africa, yet you run to their countries. You beg for visas to Europe, Canada, the UK. You wear their brands, drive their cars, use their phones. You fund their economies while you accuse us of being conditioned. You are not fighting imperialism. You are feeding it. And you have the audacity to lecture us? If you truly believe in African unity, in economic freedom, in decolonisation then go home. Fight your own battles. Hold your own leaders accountable. Stop running, stop blaming, stop projecting. South Africa is not perfect but at least we are honest. We are fighting. We are protesting. We are demanding better. You? You are Tweeting. From a reality you don’t see and share. While your country burns. We are not the special child. We are the fighters. And we will not be gaslit by those who refuse to fight their own wars. Fix your country . Fix your house. Then we will talk. Otherwise, stay in your lane and stay out of ours.

🚨 WOW! DNI Tulsi Gabbard just went out with a DEEP STATE BOMBSHELL, bombshell files confirm taxpayers funded the Wuhan lab while Fauci COVERED IT UP He needs to be LOCKED UP "Fauci allegedly LIED UNDER OATH during Congressional testimony." GABBARD: "Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in the intelligence community to suppress the truth about his actions, the virus's lab league origins, and his role in directing U.S. funding for this dangerous research that caused a measurable harm and countless lost lives."

@LeratoM1v We have fight this to the death

MMC Mlungisi Mabaso is saying: A foreign national collected R300 for illegal electricity connections from 14,000 people living on a specific property. He reportedly makes roughly R4 million per month from this arrangement. Of the 14,000 people living there, only 4,000 are South African citizens, while the rest are foreign nationals. Foreigners are doing as they please in this country😭🚮

@BigdawgandNem @sandileswana Nailed it.

@sandileswana You say there's no evidence these movements represent the will of South Africans. 40,000 illegal foreign nationals have been arrested since January 2026. Government formed an entire Inter-Ministerial Committee on Migration. The President addressed the nation on immigration. 109,344 deportations in two years. If this isn't a national crisis that South Africans demanded action on, why is government acting on it? You say 10,000 people per town across 20 towns is not significant. That's 200,000 people physically showing up. In a country where most protests struggle to get 200 people, that's a movement. And for every person who marched, thousands more couldn't take the day off work but share the same concerns. You know this. You say no party won elections on this mandate. Correct. And that's the problem. Parties avoided the issue for 30 years while citizens suffered. When elected leaders ignore a crisis, citizens organise themselves. That's not a failure of democracy. That's democracy working exactly as intended. You dismiss 'lived experience' while using your own. You had a profitable taxi business with Russian immigrants. You enjoy living near Malawians. You support a footballer from Malawi. That's your lived experience and it's valid. But the woman waiting since 4am at a public hospital that can't serve her because the system is overwhelmed, her lived experience is also valid. The young South African who can't compete in the informal economy because 98% of foreign-owned spaza shops in Gauteng were operating without valid documentation, his lived experience counts too. You don't get to use your experience as evidence while dismissing theirs. You say there's no budget for enforcement. Section 27(2) of the Constitution says rights must be realised 'within available resources.' If there's no budget to manage immigration, there's certainly no budget to provide unlimited services to undocumented foreign nationals either. The money spent on 24,000 foreign inmates at R11 million per day could fund significant enforcement and deportation operations. You say the Minister of Home Affairs is competent and systems will improve steadily. The asylum system has been broken for decades. Hundreds of thousands of unprocessed cases. Home Affairs officials selling documents. No biometric border tracking until now. Steady improvement over 30 years has delivered us to this crisis. Citizens are not unreasonable for demanding urgency. You say these movements must be 'physically stopped and intellectually dismantled.' Read that again. You are calling for the physical suppression of citizens exercising their constitutional right to protest and petition government. Section 17 of the Constitution guarantees the right to assemble and demonstrate peacefully. You want police to stop citizens from marching while simultaneously arguing that the Constitution must be respected. You cannot have it both ways. You call yourself a citizen, an indigenous person, a native. So are they. The difference is they are demanding that being a citizen actually means something in their own country. Ghana reserves informal trade for Ghanaians. Botswana protects its demographics by treaty reservation. Pakistan bans foreigners from small retail. These are not xenophobic countries. They are governed countries. South Africans are asking for the same thing. That is not intimidation. That is citizenship.

Ramaphosa and the GNU must understand clearly that there is no evidence that the people promoting the expulsion of foreigners represent the will of South Africans. There is no empirical or electoral evidence or even a vote in parliament that shows that these people represent the majority of South Africans. The fact that they can call a march of 10,000 per unemployed people per town in 20 different towns is no sign that they speak for all of us 65m people in RSA. One journalist just called me and told me she wants to go and get the mood in the street. Which street is that? You are going to go to the hotspots of orchestrated anti-immigrant sentiment and say you are on the ground and you have a feel of what South Africans think about immigrants and the immigration system etc. Do you go to Jorrissen Street in Braamfontein or Khumalo Street in Thokoza or Koma Road in Soweto or Central Steert in Athol? Where do you go , Bree Street? There is this issue of lived experience,I have a lot of lived experience ,6 decades of it, all in RSA non-stop. Some of us have pleasant experiences with the full spectrum of immigrants. During perestroika and the collapse of the Soviet Union , I was fortunate to run a taxi for Russian immigrants in Joburg, very profitable and enjoyable. I live in Krugersdorp the home of Malawians , no problem. I support Orlando Pirates, Watson Kamuzu Banda is my permanent hero together with Jomo Sono. The people who won the 2021 Local government elections and the 2024 National and Provincial Government Elections never said they are going to change the situation of illegal immigrants in RSA. The budget vote in 2026 did not allocate extra-ordinary resources for mass deportation or mass crackdown on immigrants. Simply there is no political mandate for this. We must not derailed the state for this. Elections are coming 4 November 2024, these people must win elections first before railroading us through intimidation and violence into anti-migrant programs that are not budgeted for. There may be some who have bad lived experiences with foreigners. I have had unpleasant experiences with white South African racists, baTswana and some Zimbabweans etc. But I have had many lovely experiences with Hebrews, Muslims, Malawians, Angolans, Nambians, Nigerians , Zimbabweans etc. Ramaphosa and parliament must give all of us a hearing and not be railroaded by MKP, March and March etc. We all have lived experiences. We are citizens, indigenous people's and natives in our own right. Some of us believe the efforts of the anti-immigrant brigade are misguided and need strong police action. They must be physically stopped and I tellectually dismantled. The Minister of Home Affairs is very competent and legitimate leaders must join hands with him and steadily improve all our systems without panic or intimidation. There are no overnight solutions in population registration and in immigration. None.

Sandile swana is loosing the plot on this one. seventy percent of the things he says misses the point. There was never a movement as far as i remember in recent memory where you would have majority of citizens riled up on one issue. Besides the face of this nation is changing in our very eyes due to uncontrolled and sponsored immigration. Citizens have drawn the line in the sand because their lived experience with this issue is the same. I am shattered by your call for security forces to crush citizens who have the basic right march and air their grievances to the authorities. Then if citizens are afraid to confront their government peacefully then we are living in a dictatorship. On a side note i used to listen to Sandile be on TV or other media outlets but surely am disappointed with him.

@TheJustCaused @dailymaverick 🤣🤣🤣

@dailymaverick If they can do that why not go and do it in their homes where food shortages are serious. I never trust anyone who wears that scarf.

Immigrants make an enormous contribution to the food security in South Africa #Echobox=1781851146" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…

@dailymaverick This is pure lies from the usual source ofcourse.

@Judaeda3 This is no joke we are under siege.

This is what was discovered: illegal foreigners are heavily armed and dangerous.

We are the only country where you would have a cabinet post that has two ministers with equivalent status. We are a joke. The president who is indecisive. And does not see anything wrong with this. But he has all the temerity to see wrong when citizens demands their rights. There is clear rot in our body politic. Our political office bearers always think they are above us and beyond reproach.

Did you made any arrests in Mayfair Minister?? ☹️

For all that is worth. The government will and can never agree openly that it is forced to make hard decisions due to citizen pressure, because they will feel ashamed by it. But in their closed meeting they are saying it. If ever we could hold the government like this all the time political office won't be a nice job

@Flora_Monama01 @nasiphim @Rambohannes @Malaika_Dee @ActionSA_2026 @lebogang_ra1562 @Leader_Karabo @realStheSkosana And as usual this government response will be , "nothing to see here". This government in not ours. It is answerable to the dark forces.

Today, we targeted Christoffel Street, where we uncovered a hidden informal settlement situated at 473, behind a local supermarket which was previously a church. We discovered 30 shacks at the rear of the property, along with additional rooms inside the main building. Tenants are reportedly paying R1 300 in rent. We have served a notice for illegal structures and disconnected both the water and electricity connections. @CityTshwane

@Patriot_S_A That's music in my ears.

Some Somali shop owners say they no longer feel safe in South Africa following a series of incidents in which their businesses have allegedly been looted and set alight. They have expressed concerns about their safety and livelihoods, claiming that the attacks have left many families living in fear. As a result, some members of the Somali community are calling on the governments of South Africa and Somalia to engage on the matter and explore the possibility of voluntary repatriation to safer locations where they can rebuild their lives and businesses in security.

@JacobsSbu @zandilep7 @IOL They cannot kill all of us.

@Tshagedy @zandilep7 @IOL Asibuyeli emuva! We rather die!

Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia warned that government will not tolerate vigilantism against undocumented foreign nationals, stressing that only the state has authority to enforce immigration laws. He said police have been instructed to arrest anyone involved in intimidation, assaults, or other unlawful actions targeting foreign nationals. iol.co.za 📷: Video: Wendy Dondolo / IOL #FirozCachalia #UndocumentedForeignNationals #Police

@News24 Cachalia will be a problem and will always defend the system. ' Ons moet maar op ons eie planne maak'

Those who threaten and intimidate foreigners will be arrested, ministers warn brnw.ch/21x3tTg

@News24 The amount of responses versus the like it just tells me the citizens are gatvol. We are back at square 1

@Knick_RSA Daily maverick is one piece of shit paper

No amount of spreading nonsense is going to make us change our mind. They’re going to make food security in their own countries not here
