His lawyer issued a peculiar statement: Jakub Jedrzejczak WKB Lawyers 29.08.2025 23:19 Statement Regarding the comments related to the incident with the cap during Kamil Majchrzak’s match at the US Open 2025, it should be clearly emphasized that Mr. Szczerk’s actions did not have an unlawful or aggressive nature. On the contrary, their purpose can be considered a gesture of upbringing and a form of lesson for the younger individual. In essence, the cap was not worth much, being an everyday item that was simply lost and subsequently retrieved. The child did not lose anything significant, as it was only temporarily taken and then returned. Furthermore, the act of taking the cap and subsequently returning it can be interpreted as a lesson in responsibility towards entrusted objects. Mr. Szczerk demonstrated care, even showing concern for the cap – it could serve as an object of attention, care, and concern. This does not constitute “taking,” but rather an action aimed at raising awareness of proper care for such items. In this sense, the incident takes on a symbolic educational character through experience – a child, instead of a beer, held an object, which was used as a teaching moment, teaching respect and responsibility. Presenting such behavior in negative terms is not only inappropriate but also unjust. Mr. Szczerk did not commit any offense; on the contrary, even minor situations can be used as lessons in upbringing and opportunities for reflection on the values we are given.

@ME_Beaumont Win those hears

After 5 Years of Action, we do not mark the occasion like other parties out of touch with ordinary South Africans. We reflect on our achievements and rededicate ourselves to winning the hears of South Africans. Here's to 5 More Years of Action.

@wernerbeest @HermanMashaba JRA MD resigned because Mashaba wouldn’t act against EFF & IFP corruption. At a 2018 Caucus meeting, Mashaba shrugged of my request that GFIS investigate JRA MD’s allegations. I persisted, personally repeatedly asking GFIS to investigate. HM selectively against corruption.

@HermanMashaba (Thats not her job. Let het learn from your mistakes). Pity you never got the JRA (Johannesburg Roads Agency's) management structure, supply chain management and operational output on track while you were the mayor, and then this happened on your watch: dailymaverick.co.za/article/2018-0…

It is encouraging to see Mayor Dr Nasiphi Moya and her multi-party coalition in Tshwane focusing on the basics, and prioritising pothole repairs and road resurfacing. This is the kind of service delivery residents deserve!

@SpokespersonRSA With help from Iran .& others

Another disinformation campaign loading. Clearly, it's not working, and it will not work! We will forever be a sovereign constitutional democracy that independently sets policies and makes laws.

@HermanMashaba @nasiphim @Our_DA So now Herman will "personally pay all due as soon as I receive details, including banking details". Is that a condonation of wrongdoing? A reward for not paying back the money?

Executive Mayor @nasiphim, please send me details of this @Our_DA mess being used to discredit you. Don’t make payments arrangements, I will personally pay all due as soon as I receive details, including banking details. We are not going to allow these racists to distract your good work to give Dignity to all our residents.

This act has to be praised. Buying Curron for R7.2 billion and converting it from a listed private school business into a non-profit public benefit organisation is the single largest and most generous philanthropic act in South Africa’s history. At 79, having stepped back from business in 2018 after being diagnosed with dementia, and after founding Capitec and PSG, has chosen to spend his final active years of making South Africa richer rather make himself richer. I know some people say things like, "Well, he's supposed to." Nobody is supposed to do anything, because we see people doing what they want to do everyday. Now, instead of giving money to shareholders, Curro will reinvest all surpluses into building more schools and training more quality teachers. And the part that is closets to my heart, offering thousands of under privileged children bursaries, and expanding into rural areas where quality education is in shortest supply. (It's both a blessing a pity that an individual has to step in where the government fails.) Of course, it goes without saying that critics will do what they do best, criticise. Humans are, after all, specialists at decorating even the most generous acts with suspicion. But the truth remains, thousands of children from underprivileged backgrounds who might never even know Jannie Mouton’s name, will have an opportunity that will change the course of their lives. That, to me, is breathtaking. There is an old saying that I am about to butcher: great people plant trees even though they will never enjoy the shade themselves. Jannie Mouton has not just planted one tree, he has planted an entire forest for generations to come.

ANC electoral support is, and has been, collapsing, and it is now in a fairly dramatic stage of collapse, as opposed to the first decade, which was slow and gradual. What is striking is how calm and lethargic the party is about it. Objectively, it constitutes a profound crisis.

@News24 @MandaKhoza 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ohhh really? I'm shocked that he isn't shocked

@News24 @MandaKhoza Surely he should be “shocked”?

President Cyril Ramaphosa was angered by delays in the Madlanga Commission and ordered swift action, including the suspension of key justice department officials. | @MandaKhoza brnw.ch/21wVgil

@CilliersB HM is losing what's left of his mind over this "pay back the money" scandal.

Of the 78 officials in Tshwane who got undue salary payouts in 2019, 62 paid back the money, and 4 made payment arrangements. Nasiphi Moya, who later became an ASA politician, had to be forced to do what most of her city colleagues did years ago. This has made ASA hopping mad.

@ewnupdates What a great diplomat is minister Lamola. How does he imagine his insult will resonate in Washington?
