@geordinhl @CityofCT You will provide services to people who dont vote you and despise you until you are out of power by attracting opposition voters to your city. And by saying that doesnt mean you shouldnt do so, its just unfortunately a victim of your own success

It remains my firm belief that Cape Town only works when it works for everyone. Our goal will always be to invest in the infrastructure that makes our city functional, and delivers more dignity to more people. Cross-subsidising – where the better off among us help to fund services for the less fortunate – is the most equitable and sustainable way to ensure a working city of hope for all. The ruling does not change the current 2025/26 tariff structure and budget which remain lawful and applicable until 30 June 2026.

My son just joined ActionSA. His statement:" Mommy, you see, the organizations you joined were not making sense, I was just supporting you anyway because you are my mother. But ActionSA is an organization I can help you recruit. How can you trust people who never win any municipality but want to rule the whole country? These people use black magic to control their members. But here I support you 💯, I can feel ActionSA are genuinely fighting for South Africans"

@Keemetswe30 @Oliver_Speaking Please use your brain, it wouldn't count if the black person didnt have a valid ID, and is a south african citizen. At least try to think and use your brain a little.

Minister, at the end of the day accountability stops with you as the Executive Authority. You rightly hammered this principle when the DA was in opposition. Don’t forget it now that you’re in government. Investigate thoroughly, act decisively, and uphold the standards you demanded. South Africans are watching.
Siviwe Gwarube@Siviwe_G

What would you have rather I’d done? Break the law? Interfere with procurement matters when the law prohibits me to do so? Or wait for there to be a material deficiency with the process and then exercise my role of oversight as per the PFMA as the Exercise Authority? Hayi, ndinomdla? In your view - what would have been the best way to deal with an issue of this magnitude?

Seen a lot of conversation about how predatory the American medical system is. So I will weigh in. I ended up going to the ER about 2 weeks ago for crippling pain. Turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. I was there for MAYBE 4 hours. My bill? $13,500 dollars. Because I'm uninsured (by choice, that shit is a SCAM), the hospital dropped my bill down to $8,100 and some change as an "uninsured" discount. For starters, $13,500 for a 4 hour hospital visit is insane as it is. But the fact the hospital can wipe $5,000 off the bill "just because" should show you how utterly fucked this system is. And to be clear - $8,000 is still an absolutely insane sum of money when all these people did was scan my stomach and give me some pain killers. On my itemized bill, my CT scan was 7k. The iodine they used was $900. Just being in the ER room alone was $2,500. We phoned the hospital to haggle. They dropped the price by $20. Normal people can't survive this shit. I do okay and $8,000 is still an INSANE chunk of money out of my savings. Anyone who argues this isn't a disgusting, predatory system is crazy. And it is even crazier that Americans accept this. And for those of you who argue this is the free market, I need you to be quiet. There can never be a true free market here when government and insurance have their creepy little fingers in this pie. People shouldn't go bankrupt trying to pay medical bills. This has to change.

The ANC remains committed to revitalizing local government, promoting inclusive economic growth, creating jobs, and restoring public trust in state institutions to regain confidence in its leadership of the National Democratic Revolution (NDR).

An Israeli soldier released a video of my city, Beit Hanoun, completely destroyed. Not a single house in the city was left standing, not a single tree survived. Have you ever seen an army film the genocide it is committing in 360° before?

If she becomes a mayor, she will do what she is doing to the people of the Eastern Cape. Telling them to come with passports. She will start to call for a dependent Gauteng

Hi Gogo ⁦@HelenZille1⁩ swimming lessons needed here. The ⁦@Our_DA⁩ Minister ⁦@Siviwe_G⁩ is swimming at the wrong pond by asking the wrong Minister. She must ask the ⁦@RSASIU⁩ to investigate. At least she should know to run government as nie pap en vleis!

@S_Gwiliza It has always been like that. Whites are still milking this country way more than black's. Just that they enjoy their stealing because we blacks we focus on our own instead
