@JohnSourcer @RenaldoGouws What's all documented? The documents have now been illegally locked away from the public.

I was today years old when the Department of Sports Arts and Culture responded to my PAIA application to inform me that they spent R1,361,000 on TWO Superfans on flights and accommodation ALONE, and this was just for the 2023 Rugby World Cup. How did they select them? Well, according to the department, there isn't actually an official initiative. The "Superfans" managed to speak to the department at O.R. Tambo on the 28th of August 2023 (11 days before the tournament started) and asked if they could go. Talk about being at the right place at the right time. What's quite strange then is how some of these "Superfans" appear to always be at the right place at the right time. The Department failed to provide expenses for the following trips which some of these "Superfans" attended: 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup – NZ/AUS 2023 Women’s Netball World Cup – Cape Town 2022 Fifa World Cup – Qatar 2019 Fifa Women’s World Cup - France 2016 Rio Olympic Games The Minister and his delegates spent R7,790,000 at the same 2023 Rugby World Cup. Business Class Flights (R150,000), Executive Vehicles (R17,500 per day), Executive Hotel Rooms (R14,500 per night), and access to VIP Lounges (R7,000 per visit) are some of the things the taxpayers had to fund. The absolutely heartbreaking part here is that we have young talented sports stars from across the country who have to play barefoot, wear hand-me-down kits with make-shift equipment, and can't even dream of watching their heroes in action because the same superfans, politicians, and their friends, have to enjoy the very best in life, not once, not twice, but over and over again.

Absolutely mind blowing that South Africa’s electricity minister is blaming the country’s small fleet of wind and solar farms for stage 6 rolling blackouts. Eskom data shows renewables output has been steady all week and even higher on the day stage 6 was announced.

This is damning. According to News24’s reporting the SA Air Force, which planned the President’s flights and has extensive experience with clearances & permits, warned Maj Gen Rhoode of the SAPS PPS that they did not have the correct paperwork for their weapons. It was ignored.

@LunganiManzi @MmusiMaimane Not really silent - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U…

@MmusiMaimane South Africahas has a right to Abstain . Why UN is so silence about Israel attacking Palestin ?. Where was UN when USA attacked Libya 🇱🇾 , Syria 🇸🇾, Yemeni 🇾🇪 and Afghanistan 🇦🇫

We must have a serious discussion about our foreign policy. It’s a mess. Our abstaining vote on the matter of Ukraine at the United Nations was problematic and unstrategic. We do not share the same values as oppressive military dictatorships like Zimbabwe and Uganda.

@UrbanLo Unfortunately with the "opposition" we have, this is the sad reality.

I hope this is a joke. Seriously.

To those in the West who defended Putin when he launched his war of aggression, who recycled Kremlin propaganda and transferred the blame to Ukraine or NATO: Any second thoughts? Regrets? Qualms about supporting a man whose fascistic autocracy was staring them in the face?

NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia ft.com/content/ef2654… Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people. A thread:

@KaitlinRawson @JennMForster @Our_DA Scary & sad 😔

@JennMForster @Our_DA did you see the replies to his pride rally tweet 😳 his audience really did not appreciate that one

Can someone @Our_DA please do the nation a favour and explain to Ngamla how his bio doesn't actually show support or respect for the Pride Rally?Assemblief 🙏

We researched some of the biggest Facebook groups promoting the Canadian trucker protest before they were shut down yesterday, and noticed something was a bit off. The only individual admin running some of the most active groups was one woman in Missouri. Or so it seemed.🧵⤵️

Karpowership - Mantashe's clear favourite - will charge Eskom an effective tariff of around R2.80/kWh. The latest round of solar and wind projects will charge Eskom R0.47/kWh. Make it make sense. businesslive.co.za/bd/opinion/col…
