@AladyPL Who is this ?

What comes to mind when you see her?

One of my friends, who is like a brother to me, is a senior leader of Action SA. We would meet over coffee and catch up on life and politics in general. We haven't met in a while due to his busy schedule. He calls me Ausi, as an older sister, my daughter calls him Uncle. He has always known that we differ in ideology. When they left the DA and formed Action SA, I gave him my support. I've always encouraged him in his journey as a politician. He knows me to be an EFF voter and he respects that. During 2009 elections, I knew I was done with the ANC, but I was not feeling Cope. I went into the booth confused, not knowing which party to vote for. I decided on AZAPO because the leader then was Musibudi Mangena and I liked his leadership even as a Deputy Minister in Higher Education. So I just gave them my vote. After EFF was formed, I voted for them, and have since voted for them. I attended their election manifesto at Orlando stadium in 2016 and have been convinced by their Cardinal Pillars, reclaiming the LAND and the ECONOMY being my key ones. Without LAND, we are naked as African people. I love how the party has pushed back against racism and white supremacy over the years. No party has succeeded, in my view, to restore the dignity of Black people where white racists are concerned in this country. They know their place. Their radicalism is what resonates with me. I could go on with things I like about the EFF. Julius's strength and courage in pushing for Economic Emancipation against all odds, has been an inspiration. The strength of their leadership collective, the mentoring of young leaders, ORDER in how they run their affairs and the organization like a well oiled machine, is something I marvel at. The respect and care they give to people and their members who attend their evets, is unmatched. They leave the area clean, they make sure members are safe and dropped off at home. It's things people might think don't matter much, but they do to me. When Donald Trump played that video in the Oval office and asked President Ramaphosa "when are you arresting this man?", I knew that he is a pawn in their flesh. I knew that Afriforum must have briefed him that they are going for him. I've never wanted to be a member of a political party, but after the sentence in East London, I asked for a form to complete because I feel the need to swell the ranks of the EFF. The form hasn't come yet, and I'm still to decide. Their work in Parliament is highly significant. The policies they have contributed and continue to push for in Education for the benefit of our kids, in Economics against Vat etc, has been impactful. Lastly, I believe Julius and the EFF are unfairly blamed for the Immigration issues in the country where the ANC as the governing party, and now the GNU, has to be held fully accountable. He is unfortunate that many dislike what Advocate Ngcukaitobi defined in court as a combative way of speaking. Those who work with him and appreciate his leadership style, see the benefits of that combat spirit, which in fact I believe is what this country needs. A fearless leader who will be prepared to lead from the front and clean up the mess we have in government. I write this for myself, not to convince or persuade anyone. This is just, "Dear Diary" kinda notes. 😊

@niggakazii Michael Jackson died in 2009, at the time his last hit was You rock my world from the early 2000s, more than 9 years. What do you understand by 'Prime' my sister ?

Michael Jackson would have been so irrelevant today. the only reason you guys still worship him is because he died in his prime (when he was still hyped) which was probably the best thing to happen to his career.

@penuelist_ Yep

I stand to be corrected, but I think the 2 main things holding many people from supporting ActionSA is that: 1. Herman Mashaba is pro-Israel. 2. ActionSA policy is to scrap BEE. Please advise if I am misguided or if forgot anything. Thank you 🙏🏽

@_RebaS @SizweDhlomo I visited one recently, ya noh 🤌🏾

@SizweDhlomo Virgin Active’s private gyms essentially

What are collection clubs now?

@NOXmahlangu They are making up history as they go lol

Bullshit

@ISephara Lol you can accuse EFF for but not laziness. They are the hardest working MPS in that parliament. At this point you people are just throwing anything and hoping something sticks.

@lavidaNOTA @ClaysonMonyela Wena wa lwala Shem .

@ClaysonMonyela Let’s not lie… My Tsonga sister stays in Flora Park where they force her kids to speak Sepedi. Limpopo is a big province, the Ndebele’s have been driven off their land & banished to Mpumalanga because of Bapedi bigots. We won’t fix this with lies. There was violence in Vuwani!😔

In Tzaneen, Nkowankowa, Phalaborwa, Elim, Mokopane & Polokwane etc...the "three" stay together, speak the languages interchangeably, marry one another & live as one people....daily deconstructing the colonial project of dividing us based on nonsense!

@matome_melltee @maboss_1 No we don't, culturally and historically. Ofcourse we both do Sepedi in school but we are not the same . Balobedu are linguistically and culturally more related to the Venda people than bapedi

@Chronicles323 @maboss_1 Mara warra bapedi balobedu are one , ake kgane khelobedu is different but we fall under one

In Phalabowa you will find Bapedi and VaTsonga living together in peace.

@JjSesing Ask them to bring Ice back in the morning. One more time please. But agreed, it has greatly improved.

Radio 2000 revenue has increased over the years. It’s not at Metro Fm level but there are improvements, even in listenership numbers. The overall product has also improved, no more daytime cricket broadcast interruptions.

@matome_melltee @maboss_1 There arent that many bapedi in that land, more of Balobedu rather

@maboss_1 Always nkare le Giyani there're vendas and ko tzaneen gona ake sa bolela , ke mixture , from bapedi to Vatsonga

@Buntu_Bokweni @Tlou_50 EFF has a similar structure. But no, I don't think any of them can challenge Malema , Floyd and the Dr are the only ones that could

@Tlou_50 Yes that's why they have NEC

Do you think the current EFF leadership is able to say no to Malema?

@pontsho_mp Where is the video

I just saw a video of a woman who in a her car singing and a man got out of the car that was in front of hers obviously trying to hijack her 😭 but she didn't stop or panic she just hit him with her car and carried on driving while singing along to the song that was playing😭 she did this and her voice didn't change at all, she was still singing in the same tone as she was before those hijackers came out truly a diva 😭🤣 when the car hit him there was a loud sound I think he was badly hurt but I don't think that was enough. he should've under it so that he can get really hurt when she drives over him. I hate criminals so much because we're all trying to have a better life why do you feel the need to take my things? stuff i worked hard for?

@baloyi31560 @Julius_S_Malema We are actually voting him in . You and your family can do you though

My mother is a pedi. I grew up with the pedis and even went to a pedi school. John Petro secondary school in Mokopane. Yes I m a Tsonga. @Julius_S_Malema is a tribalist and he doesn't represent the people from Limpopo and mapedi is a whole. His stomach politics are now showing that he is out to impress his funders. The Zulu nation is us.we are the Zulu nation.🇿🇦 Let's go vote this clown out

@RealSihleIV Sechaba Khomo

Show me the greatest producer of all time in SA👀

@Constitution_94 @Marian11Eliezer @Action4SA This is funny, how can he need Mayibuye ? That party is a Mafikizolo with no demonstrable government experience.

@Marian11Eliezer @Action4SA He cant do it alone He needs ANC and Mayibuye iAfrika

I speak for every progressive Johannesburg resident when I say the City of Johannesburg must be led by a coalition of these three parties. Others must come to support by voting the government on issue by issue basis. #LGE2026

@MainlandAfrica Winnie literally became an MP till death, what do you mean blocked from economic power ?

That was never the design- Mandela became the posterboy of imaginary freedom. Nomzamo was literally demonized and soft blocked from accessing economic power.

@Matome_Kay This gathering isnt taking place in Kwa Nongoma

Just to clear something. I come from deep rural Limpopo where we all speak one language and not mixed any other tribe. It's just us Bapedi, and we only got to hear other languages through TV dramas. It wasn't until I was in Gauteng that I started interacting with people of different tribes and speak their languages. But if someone where to visit my village, gather us around and speak isiZulu, Tsonga, Venda, etc, believe you me, that person would be the only person understanding what they're saying. It's important to visit people and talk to them in their language.

@MpiloKhumalo_ Mbongeni said it was inspired by Nelson Mandela, they just decided to make Nelson a woman, there was some resistance from some of the struggle icons on that but Albertina Sisulu defended this position

Fun fact: Sarafina's character was actually based on Winnie Madikizela Mandela. Sarafina isn't about the 76 uprising, but the '85 state of emergency. The filmmakers knew they wouldn't get away with it if they made Sarafina an adult. So they made her a radical high school who could chant "free mandela", get arrested, tortured and still make it out alive...thats because THAT was Winnie's REALITY. Infact Sarafina was brainstormed in mam'Winnie's kitchen.
