Is South Africa a serious country? (1) 629 days since the High Court recommended @NPA_Prosecutes charge Qedani Mahlangu (2) 491 days since the Phala Phala matter was argued in the Constitutional Court (3) 139 days since the Information Regulator directed @sarstax to release Zuma's tax records (4) 175 days since the JSC sent recommendations for Concourt appointments to @CyrilRamaphosa (5) 305 days since the Hawks had a permanent boss (6) 1682 days since Babita Deokaran was murdered Yes/No/Unsure

@PhilileNdlela87 @Malatjie_ @Newzroom405 Impartial???😳😳😳

@Malatjie_ @khustazm @Newzroom405 we see your impartiality

ikhona into e off

Not for sensitive viewers‼️‼️‼️ They actually ambushed people from the March 💔💔💔 We don’t anticipate the media to tell the truth

We have reached a deep crisis in the country where people who are educated use it as a tool to dismiss people’s reality! They deem themselves so superior that in all topics they will shame people for not knowing things instead of educating them! You will see them bragging about their qualifications while dragging people who have views that differ to theirs who are not educated because they somehow believe being educated absolves them from actual realities in this world??? Kanti what is the purpose of education if not to make a person open minded to the fact that they need to continue learning because knowledge is endless and some knowledge can never be acquired in a book hence there’s something called research, that will help you be informed even by the same ppl you call uneducated!!!! People who have zero experience about real life events on the ground regarding this immigration issue will tell you that they are educated… so??? Does it mean you know more about the immigration crisis than someone whose identity has been stolen by an immigrant? Than a person who wants to open a spaza shop but is being terrorised by Somalians? You know more than a woman who’s drugged and prostituted by Nigerians who have also hijacked the building to sell drugs and traffick children? You know more than a factory worker who has to settle for far less than the minimum wage from a Chinese because Zimbabweans and Malawians will work for 50 a day for 20 hours? You know more than a mother whose child has been graped by a Pakistani in their spaza shop? So Nazi yonke into and reserve the rights to get away with ignorance just because you are educated??🤔

Remove Andrea Johnson from IDAC - Sign the Petition!! ✊🏽🇿🇦

With all due respect, you cannot dispel public concerns via a statement but through consistent and coherent conduct. The real question which should be asked by IDAC is why they have lost the public trust.

There’s a downside and upside to an institution having both investigative & prosecutorial powers. The downside is that it may lead to abuse and refusal to prosecute those they seek to protect, and go after those with whom they disagree. Strip IDAC of prosecutorial powers NOW!

IDAC chose to ignore Medicare24 kingpins and arrested inconsequential cops. Andrea Johnson must be removed from that place.

@D_Molatoli It’s what we should do, as the public to stand with Mkhwanazi and Khumalo. They can’t fight alone. One thing I know is that criminals have the courage to push their agenda. Do we have the courage in return to push back?

🚨 Gen. Mkhwanazi vs IDAC When he was at the #AdhocCommittee General Mkhwanazi lamented the role played by IDAC in all the false cases opened against him, and the trumped up charges that were intended to bar him from getting Security Clearance from General Khan's Crime Intelligence unit. He spoke about how strange it is that the cases are not dealt with by IPID, which is the one responsible for investigating Police misconduct. General Khumalo and his team were charged by IDAC. Hon. Fadiel Adams when he wanted to open cases against General Khumalo and his Crime Intelligence team, he went to submit the documents to IDAC, not the police, nor IPID. The cases against Mkhwanazi have not been followed up for more than a year now, he said. Could they be preparing to charge him also now that they are charging General Masemola?! We are not gullible, we are wide awake. General Mkhwanazi please take us into your confidence. A press conference is what we desperately need! 😭 #MadlangaCommission

If you’re comparing Clement’s show 1. To news shows in other timeslots, you’re a fool 2. To other kinds of channels, you’re a fool 3. Without counting his online views, you’re a fool I worked at SABC for 9 years. Ive done 11 years of tv and radio. Here’s how it actually works

@ManAboutNews1 Well said indeed 🙌🙌🙏🏾🙏🏾

@khustazm Shows come and go at the SABC. No one show has a lifetime contract for broadcast it’s the nature of the beast.

The SABC notes public discourse on recent SABC News Channel programming changes. These form part of a broader, data-led review to ensure relevance, audience alignment, and long-term sustainability. Decisions are strategic, not individual-focused, and free from political interference. We remain committed to transparency and serving the public with credible, high-quality content.

@ManAboutNews1 Eish, the organization shouldn’t stoop this low my leader.

@khustazm Something close to it but he asked for it.

@ManAboutNews1 @SABCPortal This is an assassination of character

@SABCPortal @khustazm please report to my desk.

@ManAboutNews1 @SABCPortal 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@mamiriri_law @mangalani @ramalokot @mapheto_tsietsi This is not a comparison of apples with apples 🤷🏽‍♀️. Again in these streets it’s not about facts. So there is no point of engaging in this.

@mangalani @ramalokot @mapheto_tsietsi Haai maan, why are you so brutal now?! 😂🤣 Here are the stats @khustazm, what do you think with this evidence of the performance bafo?!

Razo is empty upstairs, and doesn't have friends to tell him the truth.

SAFTU ON THE ESCALATING CENSORSHIP AND POLITICAL CAPTURE OF THE SABC The South African Federation of Trade Unions (SAFTU) condemns in the strongest possible terms the latest reports of the decision by the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) to scrap Face the Nation, allegedly following complaints from African National Congress (ANC) and government officials. This development is not an isolated incident. It is part of a long and disturbing pattern of political interference, censorship, and manipulation of the public broadcaster to suppress dissenting voices and shield those in power from accountability. A LONG AND WELL-DOCUMENTED PATTERN South Africans have seen this before, repeatedly. During the era of state capture, under the disgraced leadership of Hlaudi Motsoeneng, the SABC became synonymous with censorship and political control: •A ban on broadcasting protest footage, silencing workers and communities in struggle •The victimisation and purging of journalists, including the courageous “SABC 8” •Editorial interference designed to protect the executive and suppress criticism But even beyond that period, the pattern has continued: •The sidelining and eventual departure of respected journalists such as Vuyo Mvoko amid allegations that critical editorial voices were being marginalised •The removal of hard-hitting current affairs platforms, including the Editors’ Roundtable / Sunday morning current affairs programming on SABC radio, which had provided space for robust and critical debate •The steady weakening of investigative and current affairs programming in favour of safer, less confrontational content These are not coincidences. They are part of a systemic problem: a public broadcaster that remains vulnerable to political pressure and interference. NOTHING HAS CHANGED ONLY THE METHODS The scrapping of Face the Nation and the targeting of Clement Manyathela follow the same logic: •Punish journalists who ask difficult questions •Remove platforms that hold power accountable •Send a chilling message across newsrooms: toe the line or face consequences Censorship today is often more subtle not always outright bans, but strategic removals, programme cancellations, and editorial pressure behind closed doors. A PUBLIC BROADCASTER UNDER POLITICAL CAPTURE The SABC is not, and must never become, a communications arm of the ruling party. Yet, what we are witnessing is: •The political capture of the public broadcaster •The erosion of editorial independence •The narrowing of democratic space for critical engagement This is a direct betrayal of the SABC’s constitutional mandate to serve the public not politicians. SAFTU DEMANDS SAFTU calls for: 1.Full transparency on the decision to scrap Face the Nation 2.An independent investigation into political interference at the SABC 3.The protection of journalists and producers from intimidation and retaliation 4.The restoration and strengthening of critical current affairs programming 5.A renewed Save SABC Campaign, uniting workers, journalists, and communities to defend the broadcaster DEFENDING MEDIA FREEDOM IS DEFENDING DEMOCRACY From the banning of protest footage, to the purging of journalists, to the removal of critical programmes the pattern is undeniable. If left unchallenged, this trajectory will reduce the SABC into a state broadcaster in practice, if not in name. SAFTU stands firmly with all those who refuse to be silenced. We will not accept a broadcaster that fears power instead of confronting it. The struggle to defend the SABC is part of the broader struggle to defend democracy itself. A statement was issued on behalf of SAFTU by the General Secretary, Zwelinzima. Vavi.

UMKHONTO WESIZWE PARTY REJECTS THE DECISION TO TERMINATE FACE THE NATION AND THE VICTIMISATION OF JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY AT THE SABC

@mamiriri_law 🤣🤣🤣he is correct ✅

Thi...!, 🤣🤣🤣😎 @khustazm bona fela.

🇿🇦We will always stand with stellar journalists that ask the tough questions without fear or favour. Not the ones like that specialist foreign reporter emeritus that blocks anyone that disagrees with her.
