@Nama_Khoe @tumisole @Rowiaza @CityTshwane @Action4SA Neighbors looked the other way 'minding their own business'. Municipal meter readers for water too, and councillors most likely took the bribes & also looked the other way. I suppose there's not Community Policing Forum either. South Africans are corrupt 😕

So this person continued to erect not one, but 31 illegal structures and no City inspector saw any of this happen? We don't want to waste our votes with nonsense, @Action4SA better bring their A-game on this one. A crack-team needs to hound all foreign owned anything before elections for compliance. We're not here to play games! @CityTshwane

The MMC of Public Safety in the @CityTshwane together with other law enforcement officers disconnected illegal electricity connection bridged by an Ethiopian National. The said National also built 31 back rooms that he leased out for R2500 per room. He makes R77500 per month! Kunzima!

@SABCNews May @CyrilRamaphosa interdict proceedings arising out of a Concourt judgement? No!! The judgement has overtaken his opportunity to review the Phala Phala report which he in any case squandered in about 2022. He may not block the accountability @ParliamentofRSA

@ZANewsFlash ..... and the rest of the citizens in SA are 'minions farmed' to boost their ego. "Our people" this & that 😑

@Abramjee @EFFSouthAfrica must consider opposing @CyrilRamaphosa review of the Phala Phala report and in anticipation of CR dragging the lodgement of review papers, EFF seek a court interdict to CR's review as he had ample opportunity for such & in fact decided to abandon it.

JUST IN: PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA TO ADDRESS THE NATION: President Cyril Ramaphosa will tonight at 20h00, address the nation following the judgment of the Constitutional Court in the case brought by the Economic Freedom Fighters challenging the National Assembly’s decision with respect to Section 89 proceedings against the President. The President will address the nation as follows: Date: Monday, 11 May 2026 Time: 20h00

@MYANC @EFFSouthAfrica Go oppose the review. He had enough time since release of the report. The Concourt has ruled for impeachment process. If there's any defense he has to put up, it's before the impeachment committee. Let @CyrilRamaphosa redeem himself there. No delay tactics 😑

I therefore respectfully want to make it clear that I will not resign. To do so would be to pre-empt a process defined by the Constitution. To do so would be to give credence to a panel report that unfortunately has grave flaws. To do so would be to abdicate the responsibility that I assumed when I became President of the Republic. - President Cyril Ramaphosa on the Constitutional Court ruling regarding the Section 89 process

@Spergion @Dzungie007 Which country bordering SA is at war?

Enforcing immigration law is valid. But not every undocumented person is a criminal, and asylum seekers are not the same as opportunistic offenders. Serious countries enforce rules with due process, not blanket hate or collective punishment. SA can protect its borders without dehumanizing people

Crossing a border illegally, avoiding immigration processes, and living undocumented is not bravery or survival it’s criminality. Stop trying to guilt South Africans into tolerating what no serious country would allow.

@zilevandamme No hysteria at all. CR must have resigned as soon as that report in question was released. The whole cohort around him are a disgrace. How much constitutional delinquency must SA be patient with at the highest echelon of public office? How many times have they been found wanting?

Aren’t we all being a little hysterical? The judgment is about Parliament’s constitutional failure, not the President’s conduct. That’s it. No impeachment committee has sat. No decision has been made. Calm and perspective, I think.

@Thuthu_Zuma The Speaker @ParliamentofRSA and the whole @MYANC there at the time, are a shame to this country.

President Cyril Ramaphosa must resign.

@SongezoW91558 @Abramjee Does @MYANC hold 159 of 400 (40.18%) seats? 267 votes needed for the impeachment motion to go through? How many within CR's party will be vote for the motion?

@Abramjee To impeach the state President you need 2/3 majority

BREAKING NEWS: The Constitutional Court rules that the Phala Phala vote was invalid and unconstitutional. The court ruled that it has exclusive jurisdiction over the matter relating to the rule, but not exclusive jurisdiction over other related issues. It further found that the National Assembly’s vote was inconsistent with the Constitution and ordered that the report be referred to an impeachment committee for further proceedings.

@TheRealClementM Fraud & corruption @SAPoliceService @ParliamentofRSA right there!! Intent to hide assets entrusted on Tolashe by registering them in her children's name who continued use besides @MYANC women's league. Defeating the ends of justice in evading attachment by creditors 😑

No don’t leave the issue there. If she insists the cars were meant for the ANCWL, why did she give them to her children to use for so long? Why were these cars only taken from her children a few weeks ago and sent to the ANC headquarters? We are not children here.

@mokgethi_lenosh @Abramjee Make it 2 counts. In the 1st one he's arguing 😑

@Abramjee From the second frame, he seem to be resisting arrest. That's another charge

BREAKING NEWS: MP Fadiel Adams has been arrested. He was taken into custody at a parliamentary housing estate. Pics Cape Times.

@Knick_RSA Is Maya et al incompetent or corrupt 🤔

Chief Justice Maya has failed South Africa 🇿🇦 On the 4 of April she said she will release the Phala-Phala Judgement within a month - today is the last Day and she has not done so! We have lost all confidence in that Judgement, especially since there has been suspicious appointments prior to the release of this Judgement. The state has fully collapsed when the Judiciary is at this state that it is in now!!

@IanCameron23 You didn't finish them with the original question. Why are they not available? Where do they record those readable guns? If no record at all, then charge relevant @SAPoliceService officers for negligence & fire those derelicting their duty.

In a parliamentary reply to my question, SAPS confirmed several deeply concerning facts about recovered firearms in South Africa. I asked how many recovered firearms with legible serial numbers were found not to be recorded on the Central Firearms Registry, especially given the number of firearms used by gangs that appear never to have been legally registered. SAPS’s answer was blunt: records of recovered firearms with legible serial numbers that are not on the Enhanced Firearm Registration System are not available. That is a serious problem. If a firearm is recovered with a legible serial number, but SAPS cannot tell Parliament whether it appears on the national firearms system, then our tracing and intelligence capability is not where it should be. SAPS also stated that only 6 unregistered firearms were recovered in the Western Cape during the reporting period. That figure needs interrogation, particularly in a province where gang violence and firearm-related murders remain a daily reality. More concerning is SAPS’s answer on tracing. SAPS says it has a tracing protocol and uses INTERPOL’s iARMS system to trace firearms internationally. That is positive on paper. But when asked how many firearms had their full chain of custody successfully established, SAPS answered that no statistics have been gathered to complete a national picture of all traces conducted during investigations. That is the heart of the problem. You cannot claim to be serious about illegal firearms if you cannot measure how many recovered firearms are being traced from manufacturer, to dealer, to lawful owner, to point of loss, theft, diversion or criminal recovery. Firearm tracing is not a paperwork exercise. It is how we identify leakage points, corrupt officials, negligent institutions, trafficking routes, rogue dealers and criminal networks. The reply also confirms that 154 recovered firearms were positively identified as originally belonging to SAPS, and 205 recovered firearms were identified as belonging to private security companies. That should worry every South African. The debate must be honest. Law-abiding firearm owners are not the central threat. The central threat is the failure to stop firearms leaking from state, institutional and criminal channels into the hands of gangs and violent offenders. SAPS must now correct the reporting period in this reply, provide proper national tracing statistics, and explain what consequence management follows when SAPS-owned or private security firearms end up recovered from criminal circulation. South Africa does not need symbolic attacks on lawful self-defence. We need intelligence-led policing, proper firearms tracing, prosecution-led investigations, and real accountability for every firearm that moves from lawful control into criminal hands. IC

@Abramjee @CyrilRamaphosa extend the Madlanga Commission so that Carrim has his day on that chair 😑

Businessman Suliman Carrim will not appear before the Madlanga Commission this week. He has submitted a doctor’s note stating that he remains confined to bed. Carrim was hospitalised recently after collapsing at a gym in Houghton, JHB. He was discharged from hospital a few days later.

@MYANC Please do also think about SA's material conditions; eg. mitigate against rampant oil prices by reducing import duty on electric vehicles below ICE variants, zero duty on solar panels & associated inputs @CyrilRamaphosa @ParliamentofRSA

The ANC joins the country in celebrating 32 years of freedom and democracy. #FreedomDay2026 ⚫🟢🟡

@IanCameron23 I see that the standard of propriety or otherwise @SAPoliceService is determined by the one Matlala contract & nothing else 😐

For clarity: At the time, Supply Chain Management reported directly to the National Commissioner, and the procurement process, including the Bid Adjudication Committee under Lt Gen Fani, fell outside her authority. Her role as CFO was to confirm the availability of funds and to exercise financial oversight and compliance. That placed her within the broader financial control environment, but not in the decision-making chain that awarded the contract. When concerns around the contract emerged, the matter was flagged, recorded as potential irregular expenditure, and referred for investigation. That is consistent with what would be expected of a responsible financial manager. SAPS Internal Audit had also raised concerns, which suggests the key issue was not her involvement in the award, but rather how the system responded once risks had already been identified.

@Abramjee @CyrilRamaphosa @SABCNews The president may have blundered appointing the head of financial management @SAPoliceService yet she's 2nd in charge of ensuring PFMA compliamce which her supervisor is alleged of breaching. What testimony might she give as a witness? How awkward would that be?

BREAKING NEWS: President @CyrilRamaphosa has appointed General Puleng Dimpane as acting National Police Commissioner. She is currently CFO. General Fannie Masemola has been placed on precautionary suspension. He was charged this week for contravening the PFMA and he will be joining Vusi “Cat” Matlala and a group of police officers in the dock.

@SongezoZibi Mnisi @CityTshwane must face corruption charges.

Chaskalson got Mnisi in a vice grip. He can talk but he’s done. Done! Done!

@eNCA May be or may be not. @NPA_Prosecutes must show evidence the tender was irregularly awarded, against all who omitted to act but reasonably must have seen & all active actors in the value chain.

National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola faces four counts of violating the Public Finance Management Act, for being linked to the R360-million Medicare24 tender. Do you think there is internal pushback for his exposure of criminalities at the Madlanga and Ad-Hoc Committee?

@Dzungie007 Perhaps some need to rethink the idea of depending on employment as a route or a basis of 'humanization', for what if no one or less want to employ? Is that it for the 'unemployed'? Should the one who would've been the 'employer' be forced? What happened to inherent ingenuity?

Youth unemployment isn't a statistic. It's a father who can't buy milk. A mother who lies to her children about dinner. A graduate who stopped applying. Dehumanisation is silent. Jobs are the loud answer. Not charity. Opportunity. Give our youth jobs.
