.@GadSaad agrees with Orwell: it takes an intellectual to come up with truly stupid ideas. When academics are disconnected from reality or accountability, bad ideas spread like parasites. While STEM professionals have to answer for their mistakes, humanities professors build theories that no one ever has to test. That lack of accountability is exactly how toxic ideas take over a university and eventually a culture. If these professors can't survive the scrutiny of their own ideas, should they be teaching our children? Watch here 👉l.prageru.com/49RBlY7

@LCabonena You mean more looting than has already happened? Hardly probable. But you can't say don't impeach just because maybe some other bad element rises. Let it be a lesson - It's time for accountability for all and a return to "no one is above the law" principles.

If Cyril Ramaphosa resigns before Friday. Paul Mashatile will be the President, he has the backing of Panyaza Lesufi, Jacob Zuma and crazy Julius Malema. It means the ANC , MK party and the EFF will now take the government of South Africa. GNU will be dissolved with immediate effect. Massive looting will now take place in South Africa.

@RobertKennedyJc Good morning, and hopefully it's a good one for justice!

If you think today is a perfect day for Fauci to be arrested, drop a big Good Morning! MAHA

@Markosonke1 Competency and ethics does not have a colour. This is the lesson many South Africans are now learning. Vote for delivery vote for ethics vote for competency.

😭 What pains me is that today more than 90% of leadership positions across many public institutions hospitals, schools, municipalities, SOEs, government departments, universities, police structures and public entities are held by black professionals 🇿🇦 In many ways, BBBEE and transformation have achieved and even overachieved in terms of representation and equity in leadership. But the painful part is seeing the actual condition of many of these institutions: collapsing infrastructure, corruption, dirty hospitals, broken municipalities, failing water systems, poor service delivery, unemployment and endless governance crises. Transformation was never supposed to end at representation alone. It was supposed to produce excellence, accountability, ethical leadership and functioning institutions that improve the lives of ordinary black South Africans. Real empowerment must ultimately be measured not only by who occupies the office… but by the quality of outcomes delivered to the people.

@karynmaughan Praying for a speedy recovery Karyn 🙏

On 26 April, I was meant to fly home from Rome after a conference/holiday. Instead, I ended up being taken to hospital in an ambulance and later receiving surgery for a serious medical condition. By God’s grace, I am being discharged this morning. After two weeks in hospital. 1/3

@KatyKatopodis There is no rescuing Joburg or South Africa until accountability and outcomes becomes the currency by which elections are decided. No accountability or delivery failure - no reelection. Simple and effective.

BREAKING: Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana sends a scathing letting to Jhb Mayor, Dada Morero. Some key issues / concerns from Treasury: “The adjustments budget was assessed by National Treasury to be unfunded; revenue collection was overstated while expenditure was understated” “The understating of expenditure will mostly result in unauthorised expenditure by June 2026 which will put further financial strain on the municipality.” “The outstanding amount owed to creditors has increased from R17 billion in 2022/23 to R25.2 billion in 2024/25.” “The city’s cash and cash equivalent of R3.9 billion in 2024/25 is insufficient to repay outstanding creditors of R25.2 billion.” “This is a marker of severe financial distress, indicating that the city does not have the liquidity required to pay its creditors.” Read the full letter below ⬇️

@BulelaniPhillip You will be known by the company you keep. The problem with lies is that you have to keep crawling deeper into the crypt of deceptions until all your credibility is shed and all that remains is a naked emperor.

(WATCH) Presidential spokesman Vincent Magwenya says President Cyril Ramaphosa went to Zimbabwe at the invitation of President Emmerson Mnangagwa over the weekend. He says the President is concerned & was unaware that one of Zim delegates is a person of interest in SA. #sabcnews

@ewnupdates Like he never met his nephew or knew that there were regulations about receiving millions in foreign currencies - constantly surprised about everything. The most uninformed president ever.

Magwenya says President Ramaphosa was unaware one of the Zim delegates is wanted in SA ewn.co.za/2026/05/06/mag…

@KatyKatopodis @carteblanchetv The depth of the deception is directly proportional to the depravity of the corrupt leadership

TREASURY WARNING: The last three paragraphs of the Finance Minister’s letter to Jhb Mayor, Dada Morero, are hugely significant… “The City signed an agreement with the South African Municipal Workers Union (SAMWU) in November 2025 committing to R10.3 billion in salary increases over the next two years to address a wage dispute. Given that the City is in financial distress, it is unclear how it intends to fund these salary increases over the MTREF. Taking into cognizance the current state of finances using the creditors and cash equivalents as a matrix, you have committed the City into a financial obligation that is not possible to fulfil. Of concern is that this decision is a direct transgression of MFMA and budget and reporting regulations. You are requested to indicate what measures will be implemented and how this violation will be arrested or reversed. You are hereby directed to stop proceeding with the implementation of this illegally signed agreement that has the potential to destroy the sustainability of the City of Johannesburg beyond this term of Office as well as the negative impact on the national economy at large. Secondly, not only is your Adjustments Budget not funded in terms of Section 18 of the MFMA, but you very well know the City cannot afford this agreement.”

@Constitution_94 No honor amongst Thieves apparently.

🔴JUST IN🔴 Minister Sisisi Tolashe defends herself and blames her own daughter for looting the money of the helper. She says it was her daughter who did it! She is devowing her own kids.

@Ndlombango Known by the company you keep, or so the saying goes.

Cyril is a disgrace, he’s walking around with Wicknell who is under investigation by the hawks. His younger brother is a fugitive in RSA with a warrant of arrest issued against him, and Cyril as the President of a country, doesn’t see anything wrong with that.

🚨BREAKING!!! 46 IPCC Scientists REBEL: The Climate Narrative is Crumbling from Within!🚨 Forty-six scientists tied to the IPCC have stepped away or spoken out because their evidence-based views clashed with the official alarmist script. They weren’t “listened to.” Their data didn’t fit the doom-and-gloom story pushed in the Summaries for Policymakers. Don’t trust me, read their own words here! ⬇️ Dr. Robert Balling: “The IPCC notes that ‘No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.’ This did not appear in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.” Dr. Lucka Bogataj: “Rising levels of airborne carbon dioxide don’t cause global temperatures to rise…. temperature changed first and some 700 years later a change in aerial content of carbon dioxide followed.” Dr. John Christy: “Little known to the public is the fact that most of the scientists involved with the IPCC do not agree that global warming is occurring. Its findings have been consistently misrepresented and/or politicized with each succeeding report.” Dr. Rosa Compagnucci: “Humans have only contributed a few tenths of a degree to warming on Earth. Solar activity is a key driver of climate.” Dr. Richard Courtney: “The empirical evidence strongly indicates that the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis is wrong.” Dr. Judith Curry: “I’m not going to just spout off and endorse the IPCC because I don’t have confidence in the process.” Dr. Robert Davis: “Global temperatures have not been changing as state of the art climate models predicted they would. Not a single mention of satellite temperature observations appears in the IPCC Summary for Policymakers.” Dr. Willem de Lange: “In 1996 the IPCC listed me as one of approximately 3000 ‘scientists’ who agreed that there was a discernible human influence on climate. I didn’t. There is no evidence to support the hypothesis that runaway catastrophic climate change is due to human activities.” Dr. Chris de Freitas: “Government decision-makers should have heard by now that the basis for the long-standing claim that carbon dioxide is a major driver of global climate is being questioned; along with it the hitherto assumed need for costly measures to restrict carbon dioxide emissions. If they have not heard, it is because of the din of global warming hysteria that relies on the logical fallacy of ‘argument from ignorance’ and predictions of computer models.” Dr. Oliver Frauenfeld: “Much more progress is necessary regarding our current understanding of climate and our abilities to model it.” Dr. Peter Dietze: “Using a flawed eddy diffusion model, the IPCC has grossly underestimated the future oceanic carbon dioxide uptake.” Dr. John Everett: “It is time for a reality check. The oceans and coastal zones have been far warmer and colder than is projected in the present scenarios of climate change. I have reviewed the IPCC and more recent scientific literature and believe that there is not a problem with increased acidification, even up to the unlikely levels in the most-used IPCC scenarios.” Dr. Eigil Friis-Christensen: “The IPCC refused to consider the sun’s effect on the Earth’s climate as a topic worthy of investigation. The IPCC conceived its task only as investigating potential human causes of climate change.” Yet the grift rolls on. New grads, indoctrinated in universities, keep repackaging the same scares for the next generation. “Consensus!” “The Science says!” Endless control through manufactured ignorance. Meanwhile, nature doesn’t care about the narrative. Natural forcings rule. The Sun is cooling. Jet stream gone meridional. Cosmic rays surging, seeding clouds. Result? Wild swings, then global cooling. The emperor has no clothes, and the scientists who know it are finally speaking up. 🔥 Original work from The Dragons Breathe Substack: open.substack.com/pub/thedragons…
