So the @MYANC are displacing black people from their homes to enrich their cadres?

Free Market capitalism saves nations while socialism destroys them

And then Milei became a huge success! 7.6% economic growth, lowest inflation in years, job growth, etc. Argentina is back on the right track!

@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa Please stay there.....👍

@SaoirsetSeachla Abc.....sounds as if I'm in kindergarten.....🤦‍♂️

@News24 Hypocrisy is appointing a commission and spending a billion Rand of taxpayers money to root out corruption and then reappointing every corrupt person mentioned in that report

Why can't we also have nice things?

Nah. I have many, many reasons to stay. I am a proud South African. I love my country. I believe it can be saved from total failure, and I will play my part in trying to achieve that. And then there's the added fun that by staying, I get to effortlessly annoy racists like you.

South Africa: - 53 000 sexual offence cases per year - 27 000 murders per year - 1 100 children murdered per year - 10 000 babies dumped per year - 122 000 teen pregnancies per year - 16 000 teachers with criminal records - 4 000 cops with criminal charges - 32% official unemployment rate - 42% Expanded unemployment rate - 60% youth unemployment rate - 44% of population on social grants - 81% of grade 4s can’t read for meaning - R520.6 billion in SOE bailouts - Trillions looted by government - Crumbling infrastructure - 77% debt-to-GDP ratio ANC’s solution: Let’s spend R700 million on a chat.

Bidvest het die rou rassisme van SA se rasprogramme ontbloot. Selfs uitsluiting van armer wit kinders is geregverdig. Niemand kan meer redenaar die rasprogramme gaan oor regstelling nie. Dit gaan net oor ras.

Just some of the @Bidvest_Group companies that you can boycott today: 1. **Adcock Ingram** 2. **Bidvest Bank** 3. **Bidvest Protea Coin** 4. **Bidvest McCarthy** 5. **Waltons** 6. **Bidvest Steiner** 7. **Voltex** 8. **Bidvest Noonan** 9. **Plumblink** 10. **Bidvest International Logistics**

Mrs. Diko, come this side, I want to show you something: Let's see who the South African government's racially discriminatory policies have enriched.

@samkelemaseko The processing needs electricity......

Why don’t we process all our raw minerals here ?

@GaytonMcK Fokof Gayton.....jy is n populist net soos Malema....julle ras obsessie gaan ons land sink

We stand ready to defend the GNU, you think you have all the cards, the GNU will survive without the DA, we will never allow you and your ego to destroy South Africa, we shall defeat that motion of no confidence in the President.

@PresidencyZA Dom doos.....here we go.....I hope the DA shows some backbone and leaves this farce of a GNU

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA ON THE REMOVAL OF DEPUTY MINISTER WHITFIELD FRIDAY, 27 JUNE 2025 On 25 June 2025, I removed Mr Andrew Whitfield from the position of Deputy Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition in terms of section 93 (1) of the Constitution. It is not common practice for the President of the Republic of South Africa to provide reasons either for the appointment or dismissal of Members of the Executive. However, due to several unfortunate statements and outright distortions by a number of people, especially Mr John Steenhuisen and Mr Whitfield himself, it is necessary for me to make a public statement on the circumstances surrounding Mr Whitfield’s removal. Mr Whitfield was removed as a Deputy Minister because he undertook an international visit without the permission of the President. His travel to the United States was a clear violation of the rules and established practices governing the conduct of Members of the Executive. This requirement is known to all Ministers and Deputy Ministers. These rules and established practices were expressly communicated to all members of the Executive during the induction sessions at the commencement of the 7th administration. These rules and practices were repeated in Cabinet in March this year by me as President. All international travel by members of the executive must always be undertaken with the express permission of the President. This practice is rigorously observed and adhered to by all members of the Executive. However, Mr Whitfield deliberately chose to violate this rule and practice. Prior to the removal of Mr Whitfield, I informed Minister John Steenhuisen as the leader of the Democratic Alliance that I had decided to remove Mr Whitfield from his position as Deputy Minister and that I expect him to present to me for approval a replacement for Mr Whitfield from his party as the DA is entitled to a Deputy Minister as agreed. In that discussion, Mr Steenhuisen informed me that Mr Whitfield had been expecting that he may be dismissed on the grounds that he had undertaken an international trip without the President’s permission. This expectation, along with a perfunctory letter of apology that Mr Whitfield wrote to me following his travel to the USA without the required permission, indicated that he was aware that his actions had violated the rules and established practices governing the conduct of Members of the Executive. During my discussion with Mr Steenhuisen, he asked me if there was precedent for the action that I intended to take in relation to Mr Whitfield. I informed him that there was indeed prior precedent. I told him that in 1995, President Nelson Mandela dismissed the late Deputy Minister Madikizela-Mandela and that in 2007 President Thabo Mbeki dismissed then Deputy Minister Nosizwe Madlala-Routledge on the grounds of undertaking international travel without permission. Given all these circumstances there is consequently no reasonable grounds for Mr Steenhuisen and the Democratic Alliance to issue ultimatums and threats when the President exercises his constitutional prerogative and responsibility. Nor are there any grounds to try link this with matters that have no bearing on the conduct of the former Deputy Minister. There is really no basis for suggestions that the dismissal of the former Deputy Minister is related to any other reason than his failure to receive permission to travel and adhere to the rules and established practices expected of members of the Executive of the Republic of South Africa. While Mr Steenhuisen asked that he be allowed to brief the Democratic Alliance Federal Executive prior to the removal letter being delivered to Mr Whitfield, this would have had no bearing on my decision. It is the responsibility and the prerogative of the President to determine the timing and manner of the appointment and removal of Members of the Executive.

So Cyril fired Whitfield for taking an unsanctioned international trip, not for stealing money, mismanaging public funds, or chewing bubblegum in Parliament, but for going abroad without raising his hand first? 😂 Meanwhile, half the Cabinet is on “leave” in Dubai with no portfolios, but hey, at least they texted Cyril before they boarded! 🤡

Mr President, with all due respect, why did you bluetick Whitfield for 10 days when he applied for permission? Why ignore his apology letter then wake up weeks later to fire him like a bitter ex? 😭 You’re starting to behave less like a president and more like a dictator with read receipts.

@PresidencyZA This is dishonest behaviour from Mr Ramaphosa. Lying by ommission through not mentioning that Mr Whitfield followed due process and requested permission but was simply ignored. Mr Ramaphosa is not only morally corrupt but also a liar. IMO

Andrew was fired because he was effectively challenging corruption and job-killing policies associated with the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition.

@GaytonMcK Jou opmerking is kak man....fok jou ook.....as hulle klaar is met wit kom hulle vir jou....

White Privilege makes you think you don’t need permission as a Minsiter to travel, when called out and action taken, same white privilege will point to matters that has nothing to do with seeking permission. We were about travelling protocols during induction and no one protested
