@Poplak As expected the Daily Maverick's nincompoops are crawling out from the woodwork.

@Poplak This is seriously seriously drivel. Anything from Daily Maverick and News24 will always not be taken seriously by intellectuals. One just wonders which wine was paired and drunk by the author while writing this drivel.

@bensmithrugby We still have not forgotten about 2019 when EVERY All Black said World Rugby should just as well hand over the world cup to NZ before the world cup even started. So don't come sound holier than thou.
English
Every South African I’ve seen online has completely written the All Blacks off.
Not one has said NZ can possibly win the series. Not a single one. It’s all Boks 4-0, or Boks 3-1.
They’ve forgotten 1996. The “Honest Tour”. History made after 75 years. 3-1 on SA soil.
They’ve forgotten 2016. The Durban whipping getting towelled by prime Beauden Barrett 57-15.
They’ve forgotten 2022 at Ellis Park. The Blob Squad getting Braai’d.
They’ve told us 4-0 so we are expecting the Boks to deliver.
Don’t say I don’t listen to you Saffas! I’ve heard you!

@GaytonMcK So what are you expecting? A pat on the back? Disgraceful that a black child's plea and cry had to force you to do your job and stop grandstanding. Pathetic

I have approved departmental financial assistance of R3 million to enable both the South African Men’s and Women’s National Hockey Teams to participate fully funded at the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup, to be jointly hosted by Belgium and the Netherlands from 14 to 30 August.

@piersmorgan I think you need to make that phone call to President Trump. Your minion has not made the best team. You need some influence there.

@penuelist_ Bafana Bafana. 0 whites. No outcry. Why? Because the best players were chosen. Springboks. The best also chosen but no, color must be the outcry.

@GaytonMcK @OnsBaizaNie You swore that after the National Election in 2024 the DA would be removed as the Western Cape government. You were so full yourself. And still the DA won a majority. Same is happening here. Don't sell the skin before you have caught the bear.
English
@OnsBaizaNie beat the DA in George in 3 by-elections - we have beaten you in Drakenstein, Swartland, Swellendam, Mosselbaai and most importantly in Stellenbosch. The Blue Wall has fallen, panic has set in at full swing. We are removing you from the Western Cape.

@AfrikanerHart @GaytonMcK There is no patronage and money to be made by his PA members and minions so he won't respond. Only once members of the PA is on the executive of National Hockey and earning thousands in management fees, would they receive attention
English
So @GaytonMcK is just ignoring this even though he has been tagged countless times on multiple posts about our National Hockey Teams?

With 28 Days to go, it seems like the South African National Hockey Team are having a hard time heading to the 2026 FIH World Cup. They're trying to raise R2M between roughly 60 people. That's R33 333 a head. Considered in perspective that we have degenerates in government spending R436,619 a head for showboating at FIFA, some very serious moral questions arise. You can't fund a national hockey player at R33K a head, but you can take some random podcaster on a trip at R440K a head. Cool story, bro.
English
@bensmithrugby He would be the 6th best scrumhalf if playing for the Springboks.
English
Cam Roigard is the ace up the sleeve for the All Blacks in this series. All the Boks know about him is that he stepped Canan Moodie, fended off Damian Willemse and ran through Mannie Libbok for a 65 metre try. Has played only 20 mins against South Africa in his career.

At the height of the Pretoria Girls scandal, this tweet was retweeted 3,000 times and got 2.2 million views.
Now widely accepted that the "racism report" referred to below is completely discredited.
Never forget how the media (News24) just amplified whatever Lesufi fed them.

Some white teachers at Pretoria High School for Girls do not greet their fellow black colleagues "because they do not know whether they are cleaners or educators at the school", a probe has found. brnw.ch/21wOm7J

@brettherron First go and sort out the washing line fiasco at the border that your cult leader created.

I met informal settlement leaders this weekend to talk about housing justice.
Someone’s response was to tell Black South Africans to go back to the provinces they came from.
Read that sentence again. Strip out the modern phrasing - “influx,” “these people” - and tell me what decade it’s from.
I’ll wait.

@CRangataJ Everything you are stating falls under the portfolio of tourism. And guess what, we do have a Ministry of Tourism.
English
No but Supporting women athletes and investing in major sporting events are not mutually exclusive.
South Africa should ensure that our women never have to self-fund to represent the country, cool.
At the same time, hosting and participating in global events does generate tourism, jobs, investment and economic activity. The sports, arts and culture sector contributes around R271 billion, nearly 4% of South Africa’s GDP, and supports approximately 1.4 million jobs.
End of.

Desperate Alliance melting down over R31m on the World Cup. The full breakdown was tabled in Parliament: delegation travel, Legends Match, suites, tickets & cultural programme. Transparent!
This was nation branding, tourism & investment push on the planet’s biggest stage…not a holiday. SA showed up with artists, legends & proper presence.
Meanwhile the DA sits on R800m+ unspent housing money while people rot in mouldy flats. But sure, R31m on SA’s global image is the real crime?!
Grow up. Spending on your mandate isn’t corruption. Take real evidence to the Auditor-General or sit down.
DA Western Cape@WesternCapeDA
👀 Gayton McKenzie's department spent R31 million on a FIFA World Cup trip. The DA-led City of Cape Town invested the same amount in sports infrastructure in Atlantis. Priorities matter. Choose a party that works for you 💙

Our junior Track and Field team has to find their own flights etc.
Very sad that some of our athletes have to stay home due to funds.
Some athletes are literally R20 000 - R30 000 sort.
I’m sorry but this is extremely disappointing and sad

Open letter to @GaytonMcK from SA Women's Hockey team player #ThatiZulu. An overdue letter. Both hockey teams have struggled over the years to get themselves to either the olympics or Hockey World Cup. The World Cup is starting in a few weeks and the teams are again crowdfunding.
English
@ChrisExcel102 What a nincompoop you are. So by your reckoning you can waste tax payers money and spend it on patronage and party on our money, just be transparent about it. Geez, these 30% academical students of today.
English
We maybe be judging Gayton McKenzie all we want …
But he’s very transparent with proof payments .. we’ve never seen that in history of our government
R500 million disappeared and Stella Ndabeni haven’t accounted since!! 😭😭
English
@NjUhuruMapapu @GaytonMcK The reason why you will not get sponsorship from Gayton is because you are not a card carrying member of the PA and secondly you cannot offer Gayton any power. Only if you qualify by those 2 standards will you receive help from Gayton.

@piersmorgan @BukayoSaka87 If Piers Morgan regularly takes his medication to combat stupidity, he could maybe be taken seriously.

If @BukayoSaka87 had been fully fit all tournament, we’d have been in the Final.

@GaytonMcK And how unlucky are we that you are a minister in South Africa.

@Cam_Jourdan What isn't a good look is every time Rory opens his mouth.
English
Here's Rory McIlroy going scorched earth on Bryson DeChambeau: "I think there's no doubt that he improved the line of his backswing. Again, it's like, whether it was careless or whether it was intentional, I don't think it matters. Hopefully it was careless, but I think the two-shot penalty was justified for sure.
"I won't pretend to be up here and defend Bryson. I'm not particularly fond of him. I think a lot of it's performative. I think a lot of it's for attention.
"To hold the tournament hostage like that, and to have all of us, players, volunteers, everyone waiting on him to depart, I didn't feel like it was a great look."

@cenkuygur Yes, give illegal aliens impunity and they will do terrible things.
English
If you give any group impunity, they will do terrible things. It's an absolute fact of human nature. It doesn't matter what ethnic group they're from, this is how all humans behave. We have made Israel above the law and it has ruined them. They're now a danger to all around them.
