It continues to bother me how government often waits until people resort to extremes, shutdowns or even violence before it responds or addresses issues . Communities write letters, submit memorandums, attend consultations, raise concerns through lawful channels and are met with silence, bureaucracy or indifference. Citizens are effectively blueticked by the state they fund through their taxes. Then suddenly, once roads are burning, tyres are lit and cameras arrive, there is urgency, task teams and political visibility. It creates a dangerous lesson in society that says calm, reasoned engagement achieves very little, while chaos gets attention. The only explanation for this behaviour is a growing culture of leadership that has become detached from the daily realities of ordinary people. A government that genuinely cares about its citizenry would not need to be cornered into listening. Responsiveness should not be activated by fear of embarrassment or instability. It should be the basic duty of public service.

No Dudula for them. We would rather traumatize African migrants while larger systems of inequality, exploitation, and economic concentration remain untouched. It’s easier to blame the vulnerable than confront those with real power.

40% of all Cape Town property transactions above R10m now involves foreign buyers ✈️🌍 unsurprisingly, luxury listings are priced in multiple currencies there is no home ground advantage in Cape Town property… even for South Africa’s wealthiest 💰💰

These people called a press conference to tell us what we know. We already know this nonsense. What a waste of time.

Suddenly those in their gated estates and luxury mansions are telling us that these strikes will destabilize the country and what not but what they don’t see is that most South Africans don’t feel the effects of a “stable country” as things stand Gaslighting SAns won’t work!
