Eish @ME_Beaumont @HermanMashaba 😬

Today I witnessed something that broke my heart. A call centre advertised posts in Woodmead. Thousands of young people arrived. Among them were my two daughters. One has an LLB degree. The other is a qualified graphic designer. Both graduates. Both standing in a queue for a call-centre job. That is the reality of South Africa in 2026. This is not laziness. This is not lack of skills. This is not young people refusing to work. This is an economy that has collapsed for the working class. We have seen this pain before. In Johannesburg, a young woman died in a stampede simply trying to apply for Metro Police posts. In Cape Town, thousands slept outside a stadium overnight just to submit job applications. Today it’s call centres. Tomorrow it will be something else. Meanwhile ministers sit comfortably and tell young people that they are basking in the sun, totally out of touch with the desperation in our homes. Our children are qualified. Our children are willing. Our children are trying. But there are no jobs. South Africa cannot survive like this. We need: • public investment • factories • infrastructure • decent work • an end to austerity Not empty speeches. The youth are not failing. The system is failing them. #YouthUnemployment #WorkingClassReality #JobsNow #SAFTU

You mean the man behind fake “exposés”… Modibe was ordered by the high court in Joburg to pay Daily Maverick R100,000 after his lies about the publication. Surely @chrisvick3 can find real journalists to host on his platform? @mmodiba10

Collen Mashawana Foundation exits IDT jobs programme after Daily Maverick’s ‘fraudulent signatures’ exposé dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025-1… Muckracking by @PLMyburgh

#CollenMashawana’s charitable foundation walks away from #IDT jobs scheme following @dailymaverick “signatures fraud” exposé. #EPWP @CollenMashFound @collenmashawane dailymaverick.co.za/article/2025-1…

Investigative journalism = impact!! 💪🏼 The Collen Mashawana Foundation has exited its #IDT EPWP contract after @dailymaverick exposed “fraudulent” workers’ signatures in documents the foundation submitted to get money from the IDT.

This woman’s husband did #EPWP jobs with mogul @collenmashawane’s foundation. It failed to pay workers, ‘forged’ their signatures, and pocketed millions from the #IDT. The family no longer has cash for gas so she cooks outside. @dailymaverick IDT series (photo Felix Dlangamandla)
