@JGvanZyl_ZA @GroenewaldPJ @geordinhl @Our_DA Looks like he’s trying to lose voters with his stupidity

@GroenewaldPJ @geordinhl @Our_DA Pieter, no stress. Gordon is just trying to get voters. But we know who to vote for.

🚨Nearly 28,000 parolees are untraceable. Gone. Missing. Many of these are violent criminals, now walking free, putting the public at risk. Pieter Groenewald must not hide behind excuses. He must act today to find these parolees, bring them back before the law, and hold every official accountable who allowed them to disappear. The DA will not accept a system where criminals roam free and communities are left to pay the price. A DA-led government will implement electronic monitoring, proper supervision, and real accountability.

@FickWillem @smalltalkdaily Thanks!

@ginnydmm I expect an appeal for sure

WHAT ARE THE CITY OF CAPE TOWN’S OPTIONS AFTER THE COURT JUDGMENT? The City now has a limited number of options, each with consequences for ratepayers and the budget: 1. APPEAL THE JUDGMENT The City can apply for leave to appeal. This could delay the matter, create uncertainty, and keep the tariff model in court for months. 2. ASK THE COURT FOR RELIEF / MORE TIME The City may ask for: • Suspension of the order • Extra time to fix tariffs • Clarification of the judgment • Interim billing arrangements This is often a way to buy time. 3. ACCEPT THE JUDGMENT AND REDESIGN THE TARIFF MODEL The City may decide not to fight and instead: • Remove the unlawful charge • Restructure tariffs • Rework the budget model • Adjust other charges to recover revenue 4. SHIFT THE LOST REVENUE ELSEWHERE If revenue falls away, the City may try to recover it through: • Higher property rates • Higher fixed charges elsewhere • Water / sewer / electricity tariff increases • Reduced rebates • Budget cuts 5. DEAL WITH PAST CHARGES Depending on the legal outcome, the City may have to consider: • Refunds • Credits • Account adjustments • Or legal arguments about past billing 6. REWORK FUTURE BUDGETS The ruling may force the City to: • Amend tariff structures • Revisit parts of the budget • Improve public participation • Ensure legal compliance BOTTOM LINE: The City’s real choices are simple: Fight the judgment, buy time, comply and redesign, or recover the money somewhere else. Ratepayers now deserve full transparency on what happens next.

@BasilTheGreat Not a lot of sleeping going on there

"Slept with" You mean... "raped by" You cannot hate the mainstream media enough

@louisbos123 @AdriaanBasson Adriaan probably thinks it was a friendly attack

Dear @AdriaanBasson the farm attacks reached Franschhoek, as reported by your own publication.

@MichaelJordaan @grok Hi Grok, we call it the ANC

Hey @grok what is the single biggest thing holding up progress in the world?

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere." Farmer: "Where did they get it?" Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere." Activist: "From... eating?" Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it." Activist: "The soil?" Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from." Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere." Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it." Activist: "Then just don't have the cow." Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle." Activist: "It's not that simple." Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

@RobertMSterling Amazing, well done!

I just had the craziest experience at the airport. We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight. Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.” Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess. The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.” He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.” Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate… Start clapping. I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message. All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest. It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time. @Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

@KP24 At least a great outcome for some poachers

It really shouldn't be a warzone inside the national parks for the people trying to protect rhino. This saddens me so much. It's all just pointless as rhino horn has zero benefit to anyone else other than the actual animal. 😪

@rob_turrell Local olive oils are great

@TheBritLad You gained another follower

I'm going to lose followers for this, but it needs to be said: Instead of coming to MY country and complaining about Islamophobia, you should go back to YOUR country and shut the f-ck up. I said what I said.

Capital gains tax shouldn’t exist. I risk my money. I build the business. I make the investment. I do the work. I take the risk. So why the hell should the government take a cut of my success? They risk nothing. They create nothing. They just take. Parasites. F’en parasites.

@ListerLawrence Why four exhaust pipes? Is that for the driver?

Who at Mercedes decided to ruin the aesthetic of their new AMG GT 63s by putting the charging point on the right hand side of the rear bumper. It’s messing with my OCD!

@JohannBiermann1 I don't understand your point?

Just for context, the city has a R88 bn budget.

@HermaineM The SA government is not failing only those companies; it is failing every single citizen through their stupidity

South African government is failing Toyota, Volkswagen, Ford & Isuzu. The Chinese brands don't benefit our country in terms of job creation, their vehicles comes already assembled. Parts are not made in South Africa, imported from China.

@DefiantLs I think he's been using his Breaking Bad product

Bryan Cranston: "Trump is unabashedly a demagogue. He talks about issues and problems and if you listen to that, you would think that everything is horrible. He also doesn’t present any solutions. He’s saying nothing. He has no ideas."

@Askash Its a pity the roads in and out are so inadequate.

From Ratanga rollercoasters to one of South Africa’s most sought-after precincts… How did Century City pull it off? This radio conversation unpacks the bold vision, smart pivots, and game-changing decisions that turned an ambitious 90s idea into a thriving mini-city. If you care about property, development, or the future of our mixed-use developments, this is worth your time.

@GovernmentZA This is clearly meant for people with IQ of 60
