@AyandaAllie @LebogangMaile1 Can I get you back on the @SONAcoza ?

The ANC cannot run anything, unless it runs it to the ground! @LebogangMaile1 we hope this is not the end of Gautrain. Look after this asset, grow it & make it more accessible, don’t squander it!

@Zwelinzima1 Remember when you were unhappy with 5% growth and an economy that was creating at least half a million jobs each year? You thought it would be a good idea to use your influence to make Jacob Zuma our president. Well done genius.

Today I witnessed something that broke my heart. A call centre advertised posts in Woodmead. Thousands of young people arrived. Among them were my two daughters. One has an LLB degree. The other is a qualified graphic designer. Both graduates. Both standing in a queue for a call-centre job. That is the reality of South Africa in 2026. This is not laziness. This is not lack of skills. This is not young people refusing to work. This is an economy that has collapsed for the working class. We have seen this pain before. In Johannesburg, a young woman died in a stampede simply trying to apply for Metro Police posts. In Cape Town, thousands slept outside a stadium overnight just to submit job applications. Today it’s call centres. Tomorrow it will be something else. Meanwhile ministers sit comfortably and tell young people that they are basking in the sun, totally out of touch with the desperation in our homes. Our children are qualified. Our children are willing. Our children are trying. But there are no jobs. South Africa cannot survive like this. We need: • public investment • factories • infrastructure • decent work • an end to austerity Not empty speeches. The youth are not failing. The system is failing them. #YouthUnemployment #WorkingClassReality #JobsNow #SAFTU

@KingHasichinhu @Sello_Libram Pretty sure that South Africa isn't a planet on earth, but you know, 30%!

@Sello_Libram He is sponsored by the white man How can you not blame apatheid in the most unequal planet on earth And the natives get the bitter end of the stick of that inequality What a loser

[STOP BLAMING THE AFRIKANERS FOR THE MESS YOU CREATED, SAYS LPSA] Labour Party of SA🇿🇦 says that the tendency by the ANC's ruling elite of blaming Afrikaners for SA🇿🇦's problems constitutes hate speech & must stop. They say that SA🇿🇦's problems stem from ANC greed & corruption.

@Ndi_Muvenda_ 6% of the country agree with you!

This guys is busy getting praises for coping EFF policies, indeed EFF is government in waiting.

@TimModise The answers are self-evident. We should choose between BEE or economic growth, we can't have both.

The economy has been in a ‘state of emergency’ for a while. Hopefully drastic measures will be taken to energize the economy. Any ideas of how SA can be grown to create more opportunities?

@Zwelinzima1 So if you are so fond of Thabo Mbeki, explain why you thought that Jacob Zuma should replace him?

You are cautioned! Do not retweet or view this! You will be insulted and called names

Is the @starlink concession a good idea? youtu.be/5LsH3qZ0bFA?si…

@ColleenMakhub @MkhontoweSizwex @MKParliament Little wonder that you are onto your 4th political party. You don't want poor people to get jobs but you drive around in a G Wagon and live in Sandton!

Starlink has refused to comply with South Africa’s B-BBEE laws this is a direct challenge to our national sovereignty, our transformation agenda, and the dignity of historically disadvantaged South Africans and digital sovereignty @MkhontoweSizwex @MKParliament

@Lebona_cabonena And some people in the SACP think that they will put the "band back together again" 😔

@McSmacky1 @ConCaracal Please watch the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=-5J1OR… @SONAcoza

@ConCaracal where's the rest of this, because it seems she was about to change her tune.

ANC National Spokesperson, Mahlengi Bhengu, says that if internasional investors want ro invest in South Africa, but want secure property rights and no racialist criteria, they can take their money elsewhere, like India. The host is stunned.

@Chris80109155 @ConCaracal The unemployment rate proves that your logic doesn't hold.

@ConCaracal She is right. Companies must respect the laws of the country. You can't come to South Africa and create your laws. SOUTH AFRICA IS NOT DESPERATE. YOU COMPLY OR SHIP OUT. THE RACIST MENTALITY WILL NOT WORK.

@GreenNEugene @ConCaracal @grok You can find the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=-5J1OR…

@ConCaracal @grok where I can find the full interview?

@StarringZA @ConCaracal Please watch the full interview because you clearly haven't: youtube.com/watch?v=-5J1OR…

@ConCaracal The host won't let her speak? Foolish old man. Question: do those countries you invested ever experienced apartheid? If not, then let's stop being stupid!

@PhilippusArabus @ConCaracal The host is Mike Sham and the show is the State of the Nation. Watch the full interview here: youtube.com/watch?v=-5J1OR…

@ConCaracal Who is the host?

@BhekiMathabathe @ConCaracal You obviously haven't watched the full interview. Do yourself a favour and watch this: youtube.com/watch?v=-5J1OR… @SONAcoza

@ConCaracal The host is badgering Mahlengi Bhengu here and preventing her from fully responding. The aim by the host was to trap and embarrass rather than seek a genuine answer from her. Her answer could have been a yes and no with a clarification. He was not stunned. He had a gotcha feeling

@SpeedyMolobedu @ConCaracal How is that going? I see the latest unemployment set a new record!

@ConCaracal somehow i actually agree with her, people have become heartless and only driven by greed of money, first if you want to invest here do your due diligence find out what this country went through and offers before putting your greed 1st, this will push us to building our own

@PuoPhaa @ConCaracal The argument is far from simplistic. Just look at our unemployment figures if you don't believe me. The difference is that business won't make that call, they will just give SA a miss. Watch the full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=-5J1OR…

@ConCaracal He is putting forward a very simplistic argument.Every country in the world has laws which differ from country to country. Every Mr bigshot from bigshot country has to comply with local laws. We must also not pretend that Bigshot is also not gaining anything

@CalvinTshepo1 @ConCaracal There was no gaslighting involved, watch the full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=-5J1OR…

@ConCaracal Why's he gaslighitng her, let her explain why she's saying that. Juu people want us to bend to "threats of economy, rand weaknesses " but juu never really listen what people want. Whose property rights? Property build on tears of its actual owners? FOH

@JabulaniSkhosa6 @ConCaracal You clearly haven't watched the full interview, watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=-5J1OR… . She was given an hour to explain her points.

@ConCaracal She's not allowed to elaborate her statement, and it makes the whole a onesided story.

@Swayam_Maharaj @ConCaracal That is why you should be subscribing to the State of the Nation! @SONAcoza

@ConCaracal A very well presented question. These are the types of things regular journalists should be asking.
