BREAKING NEWS : Effective from this coming Wednesday, diesel price will cost R35.19 or more from R23 just 2months ago. Therefore an ordinary family with a 80L Vehicle will pay R2 815.12 per full tank whilst salaries remain unchanged, an ordinary family with a 60L Vehicle will pay R2 111.40 for a full tank, does @CyrilRamaphosa know that the middle class nett salary ranges between R14000 to R48000 and those between R14000 to R20 000 can't afford to put in fuel of R4 222.80 - R6 334.20 per month since this is 15% & 32% of their nett income. Does @GovernmentZA know this is a huge knock on disposable income considering bonds, vehicle installments, school fees, food ( which increases with fuel ) & transport ( which increases with fuel ) The @MYANC Govt. doesn't fuqken care. #STOPVOTINGANC ‼️‼️ #STOPVOTINGANC ‼️‼️ #STOPVOTINGANC ‼️‼️ #STOPVOTINGANC ‼️‼️

@CityofCT So you will you use MORE of our rates and taxes to apeal a jugment made for us?

The City will analyse and consider its options for appealing a court ruling that certain fixed charges should not be linked to property value for the coming financial year starting on 1 July 2026. The ruling does not impact current 2025/26 tariffs. See: brnw.ch/21x24Rs

As a Cape Town property owner, I strongly opposed the City’s 2025 tariffs: the city-wide cleaning levy, fixed water tariff, and fixed sanitation tariff. These weren’t based on actual consumption – they were charged according to property value. Purely unfair. Today, the Western Cape High Court struck them down as unlawful and invalid, ordering the City to remove them by 30 June 2026. The ruling confirms that municipal services must be charged in proportion to actual use, not property valuations. Municipalities don’t have unlimited power to invent new fixed levies. I’m relieved the court agreed with SAPOA, CTCRA and AfriForum. But I’m also angry. This was a DA-led city government pushing these charges. They defended them in court despite the clear legal problems. This has cost them my vote. After years of supporting the DA, I will not vote for them again. Property owners deserve fair billing, not valuation-based stealth taxes. The principle is now clear: pay for what you use. Nothing more. The City must comply and scrap these unlawful tariffs. Of course, it is the ratepayer who must now be burdened with paying the legal fees, as the city was hit with a cost order. Voetsek, @Our_DA Voetsek, @geordinhl

@WhiteLionII1 Ruk n velly...

What are all the different ways to refer to a wank?

Hey @CocaCola are we too white to work for you but not too white to buy your products. Asking for a white guy in South Africa.

@SolidariDirk Why stop it? You are just sparing the white kids the dissapointment further down the line.... they will anyway just employ blacks...

BREAKTHROUGH: Coca-Cola withdraws job advertisement after Solidarity intervenes Coca-Cola has withdrawn a controversial racial advertisement after Solidarity initiated legal action against the company. In the job advertisement for an internship aimed at unemployed young people, Coca-Cola stipulated that the candidate must be black. There is no moral justification for classifying unemployed young people according to race. There is also no obligation on companies to include racial requirements in advertisements. On the contrary, racially exclusive advertisements are unlawful. The inclusion of race in advertisements is a self-imposed practice by employers that must be stopped. Among other actions, Solidarity initiated a process against Coca-Cola at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), of which the United States is a signatory. Part of this process involves placing the company on formal terms. Coca-Cola responded in writing, undertaking to withdraw the advertisements immediately and to begin an internal process to ensure that this does not happen again. In the meantime, Solidarity will continue engaging with Coca-Cola to ensure that racial exclusion does not arise again in future. Solidarity will also continue its campaign against racial stipulations in advertisements and South Africa’s broader race-based policies. Approximately 20 companies with exclusive racial requirements have been identified, and action is planned against them. These companies are not only acting immorally but are also in breach of various laws and international conventions. This also constitutes a violation of the terms of the settlement between Solidarity and the South African government, under the supervision of the International Labour Organization (ILO), which also forms part of a court order.

@DanCorderOnAir Has the anc stop paying you?

Minister Tolashe's alleged crimes are insane, and Ramaphosa must fire her, one of his ANC ministers. Here they are so far: 1. Tolashe pocketed two luxury Chinese vehicles meant for the ANC Womens League (she is president). She gave them to her family 'for safekeeping' ...

@BafanaSurprise Taxpayers are paying Millions for that useless VIP "security"

Imagine if this guy had a gun! These securities were all sleeping and not even seeing what was happening on stage. President Cyril Ramaphosa and Minister Gayton McKenzie were attacked by an unknown individual at the Freedom Day celebration in Bloemfontein.

Dear President @CyrilRamaphosa; please DISBAND the @SAPoliceService VIP Protection; its a threat to South Africans and the so-called VIPthey are supposed to protect. Their reckless driving is a threat to other road users!Let them go back to fight crime within @SAPoliceService !

@IanCameron23 So another cadre sits at home with full pay?

President Cyril Ramaphosa has appointed General Puleng Dimpane, currently SAPS CFO, as acting National Police Commissioner after placing General Fannie Masemola on precautionary suspension. Masemola was charged this week for alleged contraventions of the PFMA. IC

@AprilSnowGoose @lEsethuHasane @helenzille Every winter the same story... In summer we build a delapetated little shack ww we know it will flood come the first winter rain.. Dont worry, COCT will give me a new spot and materials to build a new house.... Thats their end game.

@lEsethuHasane @helenzille The flooding in that section of dunoon is because - built on the flood plain of the Diep River which floods every winter. There is a court order stopping more people building their homes in the flood prone area; - 30 homes were built directly on top of stormwater infrastructure.

Hi there Jozi Mamlambo @helenzille, this is Dunoon in Cape Town, and this is how people are getting into their home. Don’t you want to go skinny dipping there ? Send this to the Mayor;

“They’re killing me!” Those three words exploded through the phone like a gunshot in my chest. I had barely said “Hello” when my wife’s voice, raw, ragged, terrified, ripped the world in half. In the background I heard pure chaos: men shouting, dogs snarling , stuff crashing, and then a sickening thud as the phone was ripped from her hand and the line went dead. My mind blanked. I don’t remember starting the car. I only remember the engine screaming as I tore out of the parking lot, fifteen kilometres of tarmac between me and the only thing that mattered. Nine-and-a-half miles. It felt like nine-and-a-half lifetimes. The road blurred into streaks of colour and light. I have no idea how I didn’t kill myself or anyone else. All I knew was that my wife was at our house with monsters, and every second I was late was another second they could finish what they’d started. While I drove like a man possessed, I abused the speed-dial of my phone. Yes, I broke the law by using a cellphone while driving like a madman. I was doing fleet management for half a dozen private security companies at the time. I screamed at every CEO I had on my contact list, how they even understood the banshee wail coming out of my mouth, I’ll never know. But they did. Within minutes the cavalry was rolling. I skidded into our street and slammed on the brakes. It looked like a war zone lit up for Christmas. Thirty vehicles crammed the road, armoured response cars, ambulances, private security SUVs, police vans, their blue and red lights pulsating across the walls of every house. Massive security dogs strained on leashes. Men in full battle-rattle all over, watching, waiting. Dunno where and how I parked. I just ran. My feet pounded down the driveway and the horror hit me in layers: brass bullet casings glittering on the concrete like deadly confetti… dark splashes of blood still wet on the paving… the metallic smell hanging thick in the air. Armoured operators with automatic rifles swept every corner, voices clipped and professional. I slid through the front door and there she was. My wife, my beautiful, unbreakable wife, was slumped in a dining-room chair like a broken doll. Her clothes hung in torn ribbons. Blanket over her shoulders. Deep scratches raked her arms and neck. Her hair was a wild tangle. She was sobbing so hard her whole body shook. Police officers knelt beside her, gentle but insistent, trying to pull the story out of her shock. The moment she saw me, the world stopped. We crashed into each other’s arms so hard it hurt. I held her like the earth might rip her away again if I loosened my grip even a millimetre. She buried her face in my chest and we just clung, two survivors in the eye of the storm, while the house buzzed with armed men and flashing lights. Only later, when the shaking finally eased, did we learn the full story. Five savages had ambushed her the second her car rolled into the driveway. They ripped at her clothes, trying to drag her inside. But our Dobermans, our silent, black shadows, had other plans. The dogs hit them like missiles. The attackers panicked and opened fire at point-blank range, straight at my wife. Not a single bullet left the barrels. Later we collected the spent rounds ourselves. Every single casing had a perfect firing-pin strike… but every primer was dead. Misfire after misfire after misfire. God was in control that day. He had been in control the whole time. And in the middle of the blood and the brass and the sirens, the only thing that still made sense was the woman in my arms, alive, breathing, mine. We were never the same again. But we were still together. And that, more than anything, was the miracle. The blood belonged to the attackers, thanks to our beloved Dobies.

Dear President @CyrilRamaphosa; this is a CRIMINAL act by your Deputy @PMashatile , driving towards oncoming traffic! We cannot allow Banana Republic behaviour like Zimbabwe!

@Recon1_ZA What do you pull with the tow-bar?

My cousin Bruce was attacked in his home a few days ago and did not survive. He leaves behind his two children, Alex and Savannah. A fundraiser has been set up to support them. If you're able to contribute or share, it would mean a great deal. backabuddy.co.za/campaign/suppo…

@DrMashobaADieta Unfortunately, you have lost the trust of the people who will contrcontribute. Donate your hard earned money just from some well connected person to loot it and and buy six Lamborghini's

Dr Anele Hammond proposes a simple but powerful idea: if every Black person contributes just R1 a month, we could generate close to half a billion rand a year. That kind of collective effort can build real institutions and fund meaningful projects that directly uplift our communities. Would you participate and contribute R1?

Dear @HarvardHBS it is disgraceful to invite @DadaMorero to come preach about service delivery when Johannesburg has dismally failed under his leadership. You can't be serious.

Please share, I did not want to start a backabuddy as I do not know if it really work, but please share for me,‼️ please‼️ this dream is big I know, but I have to start somewhere Please please please SHARE backabuddy.co.za/campaign/zolas…

@OBrandwag @Darth_Martys Builders Swearhouse....

@Darth_Martys I prefer to call them Builders Whorehouse 🤪🤣

Builders Management politely suggested I explore other shopping environments this morning. 😂🤣😂🤣

@ZeldalaGrangeSA We should really get a retirement cut off age of 65 for politicians. The world is getting tired of these geriatric pensioners making life decisions for all of us.

Congratulations #RoelfMeyer on your appointment as South Africa's Ambassador to the United States. One needs a very measured hand going in there and I have no doubt that you are up to the challenge. You have the wisdom skill and experience for the job. Wishing you the best. 🇿🇦🇿🇦
