@eNCA Well if you say so, it must be true 😎

"I would like to address this issue that is thrown about BEE being an impediment to the growth of our economy. It is false, it is lies, and it is just a slogan." -President Cyril Ramaphosa Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403.

@BusiMavuso2 Hope is not a strategy. Based on the historic performance of South Africa, you can only conclude that our policies are not pro-growth. To believe otherwise is to admit that the execution or implementation is sorely lacking which is plausible 🤔

Are our policies as a country pro-growth? You would hope the answer is yes. Growth is the only way we deal with the severe challenges facing us – unemployment, poverty, inequality. blsa.org.za/thought-leader…

@the_dtic Don’t apologize for transformation, but at least apologize for the billions stolen in the name of transformation #mediocrity

Transformation of the economy is essential, we cannot be apologetic about it- Minister Tau thedtic.gov.za/transformation…

@Markosonke1 This is happening at every parastatal and in every government department. The value being destroyed is mind blowing 🤯 And on top of it all, they still come begging for government guarantees and bailouts 🤨 #mediocrity

🚨📍 WHY BBBEE MUST GO! Here’s the funniest and saddest thing about how parts of BBBEE public procurement works in South Africa. 😭 Government needs to buy an X-ray machine worth around R800,000. But because there may not be a Black-owned manufacturer or supplier with the product directly available, the system sometimes creates a middleman arrangement where a third-party BBBEE company buys the SAME machine from an existing supplier… then resells it back to government for R2 MILLION. So taxpayers end up paying an extra R1.2 million not because the machine improved, not because technology changed, not because service got better… but simply because paperwork now says “empowerment.” How is this sustainable in an economy already struggling with corruption, debt, collapsing hospitals and budget shortages? Real empowerment should mean: • building Black manufacturers • creating engineers • funding innovation • developing skills and ownership Not creating expensive middlemen who inflate prices while hospitals, schools and citizens pay the price. South Africans we must ask itself a serious question: are we empowering people… or just recycling procurement money through politically acceptable channels? 🚨

The Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Parks Tau, says the transformation of the South African economy is critical and that there is no room for apology in pursuing it. tinyurl.com/42n7rtnc #GovZAUpdates

@pmcafrica Let’s all celebrate capitalism and drink champagne and then espouse the benefits of socialism through politics to the masses who remain poor. Impressive strategy 🤔

@MDNnewss Another successful BBBEE story supporting job creation and the growth of the country through a fair government regulated program to ensure reparation for the past 🤔

South African mining magnate Solly ‘MySol’ Soka Madibela has unveiled an extraordinary one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce, custom-built from scratch in collaboration with Brabus, which he purchased as a birthday gift to himself.

@dailymaverick Respectfully, I think I will go with Godongwana on this one #mediocrity

@shunmagum Eskom produces 7% less electricity than it did 10 years ago 🤔

mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/64… It would be great to hear commentary from the so called Energy Experts.

@GovernanceClus1 @ParliamentofRSA @SABCNews @eNCA @Newzroom405 @SAfmRadio @ewnupdates @zarsg @TimesLIVE @IOL @Treasury_RSA What are the purpose of these Portfolio Committees if they don’t hae the power to ensure action. If @CyrilRamaphosa decides not to discipline the Ministers, it undermines this process. #mediocrity

@TheRealClementM That actually makes sense 🤔 #mediocrity

Prof Somadoda Fikeni on #TheCMShow tells me that South Africa is dealing with a Political economy of inefficiency. “And that inefficiency is by design. It’s a multi billion industry. It’s deliberate”-Prof Fikeni.

@John_Mphatsoe When are they going to start? #mediocrity

🖤💚💛

@Keanubtc #mediocrity

This is what tends to happen in a collapsing economy. Arcelor Mittal used 10% of Eskom’s daily output. Add to that the factories, refineries, and mines closed in the last five years. Eskom produces less electricity today than in 2010. South Africans love to celebrate mediocrity

@Lesufi @HelenZille1 @Our_DA @Siviwe_G @RSASIU Surely you are also concerned about the possible irregularities in the procurement process that diverts hard earned taxpayers money. Why aren’t you asking the @RSASIU to investigate?

Hi Gogo ⁦@HelenZille1⁩ swimming lessons needed here. The ⁦@Our_DA⁩ Minister ⁦@Siviwe_G⁩ is swimming at the wrong pond by asking the wrong Minister. She must ask the ⁦@RSASIU⁩ to investigate. At least she should know to run government as nie pap en vleis!

@MYANC Do you have a 2 page statement of Minister Tolashe? You rightly claim in your media statement that South Africans deserve a minister(s) who leads with rigour and intellectual honesty - I feel the same way!

@News24 The outcome will hopefully be published. Could this be an unintended consequence of placing massive weightings in government tenders on a companies BBBEE status? Interesting that the BEE partner isn’t even in South Africa, at 27 is still studying with limited experience 🤔

@NadiaFerreira85 @TonyLeonSA Why does she get to decide if she keeps her job or not? She should be on suspension immediately #mediocrity

Gets R2,4m salary. Hires a jobless friend with R1,5m salary. Receives 2 cars for ANCWL - gives them to her children. Hires a nanny on State payroll - instructs nanny to give half of salary to Tolashe daughter. Why do SA taxpayers have to endure such high levels of corruption in govt ?

@CyrilRamaphosa The country misses the leadership of Nelson Mandela. “I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities” Madiba

The freedom we enjoy today was not handed to us – itwas fought for by our people and secured forever by our Constitution.   Let us be worthy of that freedom. Let us deepen it.
Let us defend it. 
And let us ensure that it is felt by every South African, every day. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA A pass rate of 30% speaks to transformation for the worse. You have created an environment where #mediocrity and entitlement dominate hard work and meritocracy. I am grateful that more have access to education, but access is not enough.

We have transformed our education system that was used to perpetuate oppression to ensure universal access to education by introducing no-fee schools to expand access to education to children from poor households. Our National School Nutrition Programme feeds more than 9 million learners every single day. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA You are a bit late #mediocrity

We are reforming and strengthening the criminal justice system, rooting out corruption and building a police service and a prosecuting authority in which people can have trust and confidence. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
