@HermanMashaba @Action4SA @ActionSA_GP @Funzi_Ngobeni @EvelynMondlana @MbahareKekana_ @ME_Beaumont Try something more original. You are following the Helen Zilla play book

Today, as the @Action4SA Joburg Mayoral Candidate I am taking a ride in the Rea Vaya Bus from Library Gardens Eastbound Station to Sandton Station. Taking #OperationFixJoburg to the people by experiencing their daily commuter experience. #OperationFixJoburg #MashabaForMayor

@Derek_Hanekom Hell is being a woman in Iran with no rights.

Hell is if you live in Gaza. Hell is if you're a young girl in a school in Iran bombed by Americans. The hell caused by rising fuel prices is a hell caused by Israel and Trump.

@MbalulaFikile I guess by the comments from all walks of society this isn't going the way you thought.

Helen is doing the most pathetic and sickening patronage, and patronizing using the team we love Orlando Pirates. She's never been a supporter nothing wrong for choosing us but it's sickening all in the name of winning black vote.

@pookiepolls Forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't think this post was supposed to be race based but more of a reflection of what can be achieved. I'm just thinking how much further our great country would have been if our current government could have used those achievements and kicked on.

A whole generation of South Africans would be shocked to read this, especially when they look at where the country is today. Before 1994, South Africa built capabilities that few countries in the world could claim. It developed nuclear weapons, a rocket programme, large-scale synthetic fuel production, a globally respected defence industry, and medical breakthroughs that made world history. At the southern tip of Africa, one country achieved all of this before the Cold War had even ended. Today, Africa is often spoken about as if it is still waiting to industrialise, still dependent, still trying to build what others already mastered long ago. That is what makes this history so striking. While South Africa was enriching uranium at Pelindaba, testing rockets at Overberg, producing fuel from coal at Secunda, and carrying out the world’s first human heart transplant at Groote Schuur, much of the rest of Africa was being pulled in a very different direction. Instead of industrial self-reliance, many newly independent states were sold ideology. Instead of building durable technical capacity, they were pushed toward socialist models that too often ended in weak institutions, dependency, and collapse. The pattern repeated itself across the continent. South Africa, by contrast, built real strategic capability under sanctions and international pressure. It developed its own uranium enrichment process, built six nuclear weapons, and then voluntarily dismantled them before the democratic transition, opening its programme to international inspection. No other nuclear state has done that in the same way. It also built a serious rocket programme. Vehicles in the RSA series were designed and tested, and the country came close to having its own orbital launch capability. That programme was not simply paused. It was dismantled. Sasol achieved something equally remarkable: turning coal into fuel on a huge scale. When South Africa could not secure enough oil, it used chemistry and engineering to produce its own supply. That was not theory. It was functioning industrial independence. The defence sector was another pillar of that capability. South Africa designed and produced advanced artillery, armoured vehicles, aircraft projects, and attack helicopters. Some of these systems went on to influence military designs far beyond its borders. Then there was medicine. In 1967, Christiaan Barnard and his team performed the world’s first successful human heart transplant in Cape Town. That was not an isolated achievement. It reflected a wider culture of scientific and medical excellence. So the uncomfortable question is this: if all of this is documented, why is so little of it widely remembered? The answer may be that it does not fit neatly into the version of history most people are taught. Pre-1994 South Africa is rightly remembered for apartheid and injustice, but that is not the whole story. It was also the most technologically advanced state Africa had produced, and acknowledging that forces people to confront how much capability existed, and how much has since been lost. South Africa did not inherit these achievements. It built them under pressure, under sanctions, and largely on its own. That is not nostalgia. It is history. And the fact that so many people barely know it happened says a great deal about how history is told.

@Xandra_KH Wow🤗

@RangaNaiti @TheRealClementM Iran hates the West. Isreal don't.

@TheRealClementM israel has nukes but Iran can not have 🙌🏿 Its always Israel has the right to defend itself , but its ok for Israel to attack with impunity. Your caller is biased

@MaxduPreez And because it's the BBC it's the truth?

Where are the Netanyahu/IDF apologists now? This is horrific - and it's not Aljazeera, it's the good old BBC

@GarethCliff Holy shit. Please tell me that is a parody.

We should all ignore, or mock, or roll our eyes at this infant-level idiot behaviour. It only happens in civilizations in decline, and we ought to make it socially embarrassing to talk or behave this way.

@AtholT @HermanMashaba Are we in April already.

Just look at the amazing diversity and competence on display at this top table of ActionSA, we are building a credible alternative to Fix SA ⁦@HermanMashaba⁩

@NolwAzi_Tusini @NtshwengSt25088 Can you list some of the developments under the ANC? I'm not click baiting, seriously interested as this argument comes up quite often.

@NtshwengSt25088 No, it does not. The ANC is still responsible for more development in SA than the Apartheid state, even when corruption is considered because the Apartheid State was by far more corrupt in addition to failing to develop the country.🤷🏾‍♀️

I don’t why people keep peddling this easily disproven lie. It is actually the ANC that is responsible for the most development in SA,not the Apartheid govt - which btw was significantly more corrupt than the ANC has ever been. Although khongi’s kids seem hell bent on catching up

@MbalulaFikile Surley it's not April fools yet... Is it?

President Trump In his first term as US President he gave us a good ambassodor he even supported us during covid 19. Whatever happened in his second term deserve to be studied in Harvard.

@mike_superb @CindyPoluta Hot Springs has been revamped. If you can, stop there. I used to work there as a kid.

@CindyPoluta Years ago we used to stop at aliwal north and spend a day at the hot springs , but I doubt if they are still there

If you're driving from the Eastern Cape back to Joburg - what is a hidden gem / town that you recommend staying for a few nights.... Thanks in advance

@thepaulwilliams Borthwick in serious trouble here

Italy have beaten England. For the first time. Incredible.

@GautengANC For a minute there I thought it was April already. At least the ANC are a barrel of laughs.

Today, the First Deputy Secretary-General of the ANC, Cde Nomvula Mokonyane, will visit the Iranian Embassy in Pretoria to sign the condolence book and convey the ANC’s condolences to the people of Iran following the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

@NancyMace @cenkuygur Awesome. That's so bad ass

@cenkuygur Sorry for your loss.

I criticized Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei a thousand times. He was oppressing his own people and preventing democracy. But there’s one thing you can’t take away from him, he died on his own two feet, instead of kneeling to Israel. That took courage. He didn’t bow.

@marwilliamson Oh wait. So now it's okay to use Obama as a way to get to Trump. But when Trump does what Obama did(deportations) then Big Bad Trump Bad!!

Just so everyone is clear: Obama already had an Iran Nuclear Deal. Trump ripped it up when he came into office, choosing a policy of "maximum pressure" instead. So now he's saying we might go to war in order to get an Iran Nuclear Deal. You cannot make this stuff up.

@StephenKing I will say it again. Stick to writing horror stories. Your opinion is just... Well it's terrible.

Trump: Has never had a child. Has been married 3 times Ran several businesses into the ground Never ran a home, couldn’t make a bed to save his ass calls people he works with dumb, losers, etc. Has never done sweat labor Has never served on a local committee Has no life experience

@dbbovey Was just thinking the same thing
