The IFP cannot be trusted despite their slogan. They and MK are two of a kind. IFP supports unelected and undemocratic “king” and tinpot dictators so-called “traditional leaders”. Neither party is based on individual rights and a liberal constitutional democracy.
Sihle Ngobese@BigDaddyLiberty

I think the IFP is quite right to be apprehensive about MKP as a coalition partner. MK is a chaotic and rather unstable political & leadership structure. It has not really settled properly since its formation. It is risky to tie your brand to that in a governance situation. Expectations are high.

You can’t claim democracy whilst maintaining unelected so-called “king” and tinpot “traditional leaders”. They cost 100’s of millions and should be abolished not pandered to the way politicians do. They can never be justified in their present form in a constitutional democracy!

Democracy doubts deepen in KZN: Support for democracy in KwaZulu-Natal has fallen to its lowest levels in decades, with trust in government and institutions collapsing. Yet, most residents say they would vote if elections were held tomorrow. mg.co.za/politics/2026-…

@CyrilRamaphosa Well it is your ANC that has successfully looted South Africa and deprived South Africans of these. Yet you carry on playing the victim instead of the acknowledging that you and your fat cat cadre colleagues are the cause!

Humanity cannot advance for as long as vast swathes of people are denied the fundamental requirements of a decent life – water, food, shelter, education, employment, security. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

🚨PRINCE REZA PAHLAVI JUST WENT FULL NUCLEAR ON THE ENTIRE EU PRESS & PARLIAMENT! 🔥🧨 I want to speak DIRECTLY to the people of Europe. In the past two weeks I held TWO MAJOR press conferences — one in Stockholm, one in Berlin. Over 150 JOURNALISTS showed up. We spent MORE THAN TWO HOURS with them… And guess what? NOT ONE SINGLE of those 150 journalists asked about the 40,000 IRANIANS SLAUGHTERED on the streets of my country on January 8th and 9th! NOT ONE asked about the 19 political prisoners EXECUTED in the last two weeks. When I told them 20 more are currently sentenced to death — CRICKETS. Not a damn question. I stood right next to a grieving mother and father who lost their sons in that massacre and begged them to listen to their stories… NOT A SINGLE ONE of those 150 journalists asked them a thing. Let that sink in. My 40,000 BRAVE INNOCENT COMPATRIOTS who were butchered fighting for liberty? They don’t give a damn. They are too busy criticizing America and Israel for taking out the dictator who’s been slaughtering our people for 47 YEARS — instead of going after the regime that’s actually doing the killing! They’d rather dig up Iran’s history than talk about what’s happening RIGHT NOW or the free democratic Iran we’re fighting for. One EU parliament member even had the nerve to say Iranians aren’t ready for democracy. To that coward and to every fake journalist in the room I say this: Iranians aren’t just “ready” for democracy… 40,000 of them just DIED for it! And I will NOT let their blood be in vain. SO HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR: Whether Europe stands with us or not… Whether your journalists do their damn jobs or not… Whether your politicians grow a spine or not… I WILL FIGHT FOR MY PEOPLE AND MY COUNTRY. Even if we have to do this ALONE — we are fighting until IRAN IS FREE! 🇮🇷💪 #RezaPahlavi‌ForIran @PahlaviReza

Race classification under apartheid was repealed with the end of the Population Registration Act in 1991. The Constitution of South Africa commits to non-racialism. Yet policies like Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment, the Employment Equity Act, and the Public Procurement Act, among many others, still require individuals to be classified by race. Apartheid ended. Race-based law did not. View the full Index of Race Law at racelaw.co.za

“A well-designed curriculum broadens horizons. It does not begin by announcing which civilisations must be pushed to the margins. When content is selected and weighted according to an ideological objective, rather than historical significance, the result is not balance but distortion.” Read Richard Wilkinson //www.politicsweb.co.za/news/the-dangerous-decolonisation-of-sas-school-history-curriculum

@paddiclay There was always going to be a predetermined outcome that didn’t align with reality. That is how the ANC operate. Why has the current minister allowed this draft to proceed given its apparent bias and inaccuracy?

It is foolhardy of the drafters of the new history curriculum for our schools not to have consulted or sought out Anthea Jeffery of the IRR as an advisor and expert on recent modern politics and violence in South Africa. Keeping them in ignorance of the reality of those days of 'struggle' and where strategy came from is not the way to create an intelligent population.

It was the avowed Marxist Yunus Carrim who in 2008 bulldozed the disbanding thru parliament for the ANC whose MPs including Manuel and Nel voted for the disbanding. Carrim was chair of the farcical parliamentary committee that was clearly just a tickbox exercise for the ANC.
Sihle Ngobese@BigDaddyLiberty

South Africa has paid a very high price for the #ANC disbanding the Directorate of Special Operations aka the Scorpions. Just think about how many more corrupt douchebags would be in prison today and not in government or parliament! BRING BACK THE SCORPIONS! They were an independent and multidisciplinary unit that used unique methods which fused investigation, forensic intelligence and prosecution!

@IOL What a farce! Typical IOL reporting garbage. Merit must be the deciding factor not race! Of course one bad candidate will inevitably score better than other bad candidates.

There's an alternative reality in which the Human Rights Commission lives up to the promise of being an institution that fights for the civil liberties and property rights of ordinary people against overbearing state abuse, and this ruling would be unfortunate. However, our actual reality is that the Human Rights Commission never misses an opportunity to appoint race-hustlers as officials and representatives to drive racial grievance politics on behalf of the state elite and undermine the liberty and property of the people. This ruling is a relief.
