@shibe_tshibe @zim_football @CAF_Online Your voice is not important. Be emotional far away.

@zim_football @CAF_Online We 🇿🇦 don’t want to co-host that tournament; replace us with Mozambique or Lesotho.

🇿🇦🇧🇼🇳🇦🇿🇼 🏆 South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe have officially launched a joint bid to host the 2028 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Under the proposed plan, South Africa would stage most of the tournament matches, leveraging its world-class stadiums and extensive experience in hosting major international football events. #Zimbabwe #SouthAfrica #Namibia #Botswana #Zimfootball

@bonnymfene @Noxxcee @lEsethuHasane Awh, is it normal now? Siqale apho? And look back in his history.

@Mangnitho @Noxxcee @lEsethuHasane Destructive how?

For me, an MK agenda, whether unclear or clear, is less of a threat than the DA’s clear and established agenda. Accepting that it would be easier to align with the DA (this is not your argument, but the ANC’s position) than with MK is, to some of us, both scary and a reality check that we are more of a liberal party than we want to admit. Again, some of us have always hoped for a radical shift away from that, and you do not get that with the DA. But an ANC with MK or the EFF together is still, to me, within the broader ANC family and can find each other in the middle on issues of common interest. If we are to accept that ANC has common interest with the DA, then well, God save us.

@Luvuyo72591244 Say more. Why?

If ANC went to GNU with EFF and MKP, let's be honest to ourselves , it would be a disaster.

@Noxxcee You mentioned EFF, yona itheni?

I’m always confused when people say the ANC could’ve gone into a GNU with the EFF and MK as if those are the same thing. They really aren’t. MK is deeply unstable and that government would likely have been incredibly chaotic.

@bonnymfene @Noxxcee @lEsethuHasane You are running away from the raised issue of JZ being destructive in nature. I think, for me, thats the main factor.

@Noxxcee @lEsethuHasane Ingxaki yenu u ppl is that u argue about MKP without having read anything on them or any of their documents Besides it being driven by a dismissive attitude towards them, it screams serious level of ignorance on your part, because you cant ignore or dismiss them even if u want

@Mlu__N77 @collen_sambo2 What do you feel is disadvantaged?

@collen_sambo2 That would be better… bafo, ngeke this one doesn’t sit well with me.

The former NPA boss, Mr. Shaun Abrahams, representing Joe Sibanyoni, who was the accused in an extortion case, raises important questions. - Firstly, I am not saying that Joe Sibanyoni should not have had the right to legal representation. Section 35(2)(c) of the Constitution read together with section 73 of Criminal Procedure Act grants him that right. - Secondly, there is nothing unlawful or improper about Mr. Shaun Abrahams performing his duties as a legal practitioner. With that being said, there is something that does not sit well with me about a former NPA boss opposing the NPA after serving as its head. The drafters of the NPA Act should have foreseen this eventuality and made provision for it. For example, they could have inserted a section prohibiting former heads of the NPA from working against the institution after their tenure. I write the above opinion knowing that almost all recent former NPA heads are now in private practice, namely Adv. Menzi Simelane and Adv. Mxolisi Nxasana, just to mention a few.

@malalaveve @zilevandamme Why his sentencing is in payed off pending the appeal? Which can easily come as suspended?

Phumzi, That's why I am saying parliamentary rules are very porous. He should temporarily be laid off from JSC until he successfully gets a sentence lesser than 12 months. There's no way a sentence of 5 years will be reduced to 12 months or less. We cant have lawmakers who have serious convictions. We cant have convicts that are interviewing judges. The law must be that everyone who is convicted MUST be immediately be barred from Parly untill they are found innocent on appeal.

Madness. Malema is a duly elected MP & fully entitled to serve on the JSC. His appointment was rightly approved by the Speaker & removal declined. He is on appeal. This appears driven more by hostility toward him and his politics than by any coherent constitutional principle. But political disagreement does not a constitutional disqualification make. Sigh

@khwezi_shange @mashoata @Dumkoz @SizweLo I love your appreciation of time. Trust me, we will not call you a flip flopper.

@mashoata @Mangnitho @Dumkoz @SizweLo If you think I'm the one that moved the goalposts then I gotta tell you,the cult has you tight. But it's cool. We don't gotta agree on politics. Because time fixes this stuff. Trust that

During the Frank Dialogue Roundtable discussion with Prof JJ Tabane 2 days ago, Julius Malema fielded a bad-faith question from Mike Sham, a known reactionary agitator, who accuses the EFF of being "committed to killing farmers". Malema responded eloquently, making two critical points: 1. There is no such policy in the EFF. 2. The "Kill the Boer" chant is a struggle song and was never meant to be taken literally. The Constitutional Court and lower courts have affirmed this. But then, Malema doesn't stop talking, and this is where it falls apart. Instead of being brief, Malema moves to reassure Sham that he's not interested in killing anyone because he (Malema) is just like White people: "If you want to kill a farmer, start with me. I've got more cows than you. And more cows than many Whites. So don't think when we talk farmer, we talk White person. So you want to kill a farmer, start with me. The EFF will have to start with me. I'm a farmer myself. And therefore, why would I want to kill myself? Why would I want to commit suicide?" This is a rhetorical tool that Malema uses frequently, as we saw in the now-infamous interview with Jacaranda FM in 2014 (x.com/SizweLo/status…). Now, there's a common understanding by those in the know that the rich and powerful have more in common with each other than they do with ordinary people. In the context of political leaders, powerful people like Malema have more in common with the oppressor than with the people they purport to lead. This is just the nature of class relations. It appears that Malema doesn't want to miss an opportunity to remind White people of this. Once again, in this segment, we see a leader who champions the majority Black poor and marginalised, yet uses his own elite socio-economic status as a shield. The problem with this is that when Malema flexes his asset wealth to argue that he couldn't possibly support killing farmers because he himself is a major farmer, he is affirming his solidarity with the upper class. In case anyone thinks I'm stretching this, consider that by bragging about his massive cattle ownership, Malema is placing himself on the same side of the fence as the wealthy White landowners he frequently castigates. He is saying, "Don't worry, I am a member of the landed gentry now too. I have too much capital skin in the game to burn the system down". Malema goes even further when he says, "If I'm going to kill Whites, I will have to start with the friends of my kids..." This exposes the dissonance in his political messaging. When you read this alongside his "more cows than many Whites" flex, you see a masterclass in a political leader speaking out of both sides of his mouth. First, his followers hear a Black leader who refuses to be intimidated by White anxiety. He presents his personal integration into elite spaces, with his children attending elite schools with White friends and his massive farm ownership, as aspirational proof that the historically oppressed can conquer the spaces previously reserved for the White minority. But, second, when you strip away the aggressive posture and look at the actual substance of what he is saying, you see that it is deeply reassuring to the status quo. By invoking his own children's social reality through "the friends of my kids", Malema admits that his daily life is profoundly intertwined with the very demographic his base believes he politically targets. He is weaponising his elitist proximity to White people to neutralise accusations of radical intent. He is saying to what he frequently refers to as "Whiteness": "Relax. I am a wealthy father with capital assets and deep social ties inside your world. I am not a threat to your lives or your system because my own family's comfortable existence depends on the stability of this exact societal fabric". My point is that to maintain political power, Malema must continue to do two things: On one hand, he must continuously stoke radical, anti-systemic rhetoric. But then, on the other hand, to maintain his material status as part of the country's ultra-elite, he cannot afford to actually break the system. He can talk about it for sure, but that's a different thing altogether. So, by constantly reminding White people of his cows, his life in the suburbs, his farming prowess, and his children's White friends, he is working hard to balance on a tightrope by convincing the poor he is going to war for them, while reassuring the wealthy that he is far too heavily invested in the bourgeois lifestyle to ever pull that trigger. A majestic win-win for the CIC.

@khwezi_shange @Dumkoz @SizweLo 🤘

@Mangnitho @Dumkoz @SizweLo I see. The problem are the words I'm using to make sense. Those seem to be the trouble here. Cool. Believe whatever you want mate 👍🏾

@khwezi_shange @mashoata @Dumkoz @SizweLo Lol, sakhumshi. Shap.

@khwezi_shange @mashoata @Dumkoz @SizweLo And to you, from the two that, his belief is one that you have not seen results on? What does him saying you don't want these jobs have to do with how you didn't take up all those jobs to-date?

@Gudeka Kusezobanzima

ZAR 16.75 😔😔 oil prices still well above $100 😩😩😩

@khwezi_shange @Dumkoz @SizweLo But that statemenr is based on many real experience, and many of them. Some people leave those roles to rather stay home.

@Mangnitho @Dumkoz @SizweLo Nobody who says South Africans don't want these jobs while refering to jobs South Africans need is actually fighting for poor South Africans. That said, you're welcome to read Sizwe's tweet again. I think he was rather thorough in his read on the situation

@khwezi_shange @Dumkoz @SizweLo He doesn’t try mar, he is wearing workwear to his work of fighting for the class that they deem as needing more representation.

@Mangnitho @Dumkoz @SizweLo Hence the word cosplay in my previous sermon my good sir. "He dresses up as"... "tries to identify or reprent himself as" It's part and parcel of the critique here.

@dansmywholename So?

This guy has an LLB by the way.

@OrapPeteT @Constitution_94 CC has always redirected parly in its wrong moves.

@Constitution_94 That's why some of us are afraid that the CC judgment is a slippery slope into exclusive terrain of the legislature and/or political space. Now HSF wants the same result as EFF wanted in Phala Phala. HSF wants parly to remove Malema in JSC, really worrisome.

🔴 JUST IN 🔴 Julius Malema is complaining that the Judiciary cannot tell what Parliament must do to deal with his insults He says Judges have no business in telling how Parliament must conduct its affairs. He is responding to the HSF papers He says any instruction from judges telling Parliament what to do to deal with him is tantamount to a judicial overreach Last week, Malema was happy when Chief Justice Maya issued a judgment that clearly crossed the line in the separation of powers doctrine He praised Maya for telling Parliament what it must do & how it should do it.

@khwezi_shange @Dumkoz @SizweLo Isn't he fighting for them? What informs your thinking?

@Dumkoz @SizweLo Again you're missing the point. He says that's he's fighting for the poor but that entire post shows that it's just a stance. That it's just words and in reality he stands for the well off.

@khwezi_shange @Dumkoz @SizweLo Has he ever claimed to be a working class person? He has never worked a day in his life in formal employment.

@Dumkoz @SizweLo I think you're somehow failing to see his actual point here. The fact that Malema cosplays as a working class person while not being that and also uses that cosplay to garner votes while he in his statement separates himself from us as a wealthy person? Does that make sense?

@MhlangaArchie He must atleast hide his riches.

What a hit piece

@Collen_KM @SizweDhlomo @Sthii__ But mbuzo mni lona

@SizweDhlomo @Sthii__ That question is forbidden on TikTok, his fans gets very angry if you ask that.

Guys, is this guy’s face really like this or is this a filter?
