@TimesLIVE It is not for me to second guess a court, and I am no fan of Malema who I regard as one of the most destructive racist political leaders in the country, but five years for the inappropriate use of a firearm. In my view, this does seem excessive.

WATCH | EFF leader Julius Malema has been sentenced to an effective five years' imprisonment. He was also declared unfit to possess a firearm.

@lunga_mzangwe @mailandguardian So childish. Honestly. This kind of politics is oooooold.
English
WATCH: Some senior EFF members had a standoff with AfriForum members inside the court after party president Julius Malema was released on warning. They described the AfriForum members as terrorists. @mailandguardian

@ZapicoCesar @isaacrrr7 They are not public employees. They are public beneficiaries, because they dont work for the state but for their own ends.
English
@isaacrrr7 ¿Qué tiene de malo ser empleado público? Los maestros que educan a tus hijos, padres y esposa/o, los médicos que te y los curan y hasta los recolectores de basura pueden ser empleados públicos (en algunas ciudades LO SON) y les debemos respeto. Los gendarmes también... 🤬

@Paul_Ryan15 @KeruboSk 100% never loan or co-sign for a loan. If you have it, give it, with no expectations. If you don't have it just say no.
English
@KeruboSk I don't loan people money, so no.
A friend of mine told me this and I'll never forget it: "Never loan a friend or family member money."
If you do, don't expect to get it back.

My friend of 5 years got married last weekend.
I wasn’t invited. She said it was “just family,” so I respected it even though it hurt.
I still congratulated her. Still showed love.
Now she’s asking me to lend her money because she overspent on decor and a cameraman.
Be honest: would you help in this situation?

@RSASIU Will all due respect, we all know this - we are that marketplace. What we don't understand is why it has taken so long for the penny to drop at the SIU?
English
#SIUWorkingForYou| In our last press conference, we told South Africans about the disturbing findings we made regarding our Home Affairs investigation. Delve deeper into what couldn't make it to the presser. You can read the full interim Presidential report here: siu.org.za/reports/r154-o…
Special Investigating Unit (SIU)@RSASIU
#SIUWorkingForYou| The Acting Head of the SIU, mR Leonard Lekgetho has taken to the podium: The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has uncovered a disturbing reality: South Africa’s immigration system has been treated as a marketplace, where permits and visas were sold to the highest bidder.

@superflyy3 @RediTlhabi One would assume that as ambassador you interests would be served to exactly the same degree as everyone else's.
English
@RediTlhabi What makes you think that we are irrelevant and cannot have an expectation that our interests will also be served? Not exclusively, but part of South Africa as set out under our constitution.
English
Wat laat jou dink dat die aanstelling van ’n ambassadeur daarop gemik is om die vertroue van Afrikaners te wen? Wat is so besonders aan Afrikaner-identiteit dat ’n ambassadeur wat ’n hele land verteenwoordig, Afrikaners moet paai? Jy hoef nie altyd 'n doos wees nie.
Dirk Hermann@SolidariDirk
Die aanwysing van Roelf Meyer as Suid-Afrikaanse ambassadeur in Amerika is teleurstellend. Hy is ‘n afgetrede politikus uit ‘n vorige bedeling. Sy aanstelling sal geen vertroue onder gewone Afrikaners skep nie. Dit is nie die antwoord vir die herstel van verhoudinge nie. Dis nog ‘n fout in die reeks foute van die regering met hulle verhouding met die Amerikaanse regering.

@RediTlhabi Have to agree. Whose relations actually need to be restored? Many have not yet realised their 'approval' is not required or even sought after for decision making on some matters.

@Lilida2000 @KeruboSk Jeez! Makes my all bran (no sugar) and half a banana seem so sad.
English
@TezzaBelle88 @SamiraAhmedUK Yeah, you should have seen the huge movoe for the dracula horror movies when I was a kid, vampire fangs dripping blood.
English
@SamiraAhmedUK I personally don’t see the problem. It’s a poster for a fcuking movie
English
Just submitted my complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority about this poster ad at tube stations. Why is there so little consideration of the impact of such images on children? (And one might add, on bereaved parents).

EFF leader Julius Malema has been sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. ebx.sh/cgILw3

@Buoyand_man @TimesLIVE Nonsense. It is commensurate with the charges.
English
@AI_Eish @KoketsoResane Agreed in fact the American version of capitalism has alread morphed into something else. It has monetised its people in ways that would have been incomprehensible just a couple of decades ago.
English
@JeanetteBotha4 @KoketsoResane Sure, but Karl did. We are in late stage capitalism btw.

Pretty wild claim considering he was too dumb to take regular baths.

Karl Marx was the most intelligent man who ever lived.

@LuckyGordy By all accounts, and listening to SM vloggers who visit SA, our Nandos is too small, not very tasty and hella expensive. Imagine !
English
Buy chicken cook it at home and make your own chilli sauce.
Village Guluva@VillageGuluva
I think Nando’s should reconsider their prices. You can’t spend almost R400 on just one full chicken and wedges, while their competitors offer two full chickens for only R300.

In 2016 Norway gave every 5-year-old child an iPad.
Within a few years, Norway's reading scores plummeted and dropped below the OECD average.
They ranked dead last out of 65 countries.
Now Norway is spending millions of dollars to reverse this trend and get people reading.

@AI_Eish @KoketsoResane Any futurist could have done that.
English
@KoketsoResane He did accurately predict the modern state of commodity fetishism. That was smart.
English
@KoketsoResane I wonder on what measures be bases his claims....

@TheGyal_ Attention seeking is a national past time with so many.

Malema calls for calm as sentencing looms: Julius Malema warned his supporters not to be ill-disciplined and instead wait for the EFF leadership to direct them on what should happen next.
