Shebeshxt’s case has been postponed again. I really feel for him 😔

Hands Off Gen. Mkhwanazi! A society that doesn’t protect whistleblowers is doomed to become a mafia state! They have already killed Babita. What do you think they will do to Mkhwanazi? He must be shielded from all petty, egotistical, pompous & parasitic attacks! All who try to reduce his mission to “personality fight ”, or even factions within the SAPS are all wrong. Journalists, politicians & many experts have been peddling of this line. What this line seeks to do, is to neutralise the correct momentum against SAPS generals who have protected, advanced & benefitted from organised criminals with the endorsed of top politicians. Mkhwanazi’s mission is simple: Organised criminals are embedded with top politicians & top generals, and they must all be exposed and meet the full might of the law! Fact: All who oppose Gen. Mkhwanazi are not with the people! That is the bottom line! If Mkhwanazi doesn’t win this battle, which is a peoples battle, then ours will become a banana republic, a mafia state ruled by men with guns! Society must defend itself!

This is a classic political posture from Julius Malema, strongly loud, defiant, and clearly aimed at consolidating authority in front of his supporters. But once you strip away the rhetoric, there are a few important issues worth interrogating. Firstly, the tone. Calling Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi a coward while also dismissing his concerns as sensitivity shifts the conversation away from substance to personality. That’s often a political tactic attack the messenger, so you don’t have to fully engage the message. The real question is, What exactly is General Mkhwanazi saying, and is it being addressed on its merits, na? Secondly, the famous slogan we will not be blackmailed line. That’s a serious claim. If there is blackmail, it should be clearly stated and backed with evidence. Otherwise, it risks sounding like a pre-emptive defense against uncomfortable truths. Strong leadership isn’t just about rejecting pressure it’s about confronting facts transparently, even when they are inconvenient. Thirdly, when he says we are not ball boys, that plays well politically, especially with a base that values independence and defiance. But it also raises another question. Is this about maintaining political distanc or avoiding being drawn into accountability conversations that may have broader implications for hom and his personal club EFF? Finally, the claim that Mkhwanazi behaves differently in private versus public spaces. If that is true, it should be demonstrated with clarity because inconsistency matters. But if it’s not substantiated, it again becomes rhetoric rather than a factual challenge, so it borders on gangstarism tendencies.
