“So nah, we have bigger problems as government, and this is NOT one of them…” @NoncebaMhlauli

VOTE FOR YOU! Your vote is not about party loyalty. it’s about choosing a candidate who will fight for your community’s basic needs and deliver on the issues that matter most to you. Vote for a candidate who has the commitment to serve, the courage to stand for the people, and the support of a political party that will allow them to fulfil their mandate. Vote for service delivery. Vote for accountability. Vote for YOU!

South Africans, you are in charge, NGUWE UMAQONDANA!

South Africans you are in charge, nguwe umaqondana, ke nako!

At some point, you need to understand when to speak, what to say, and how to say it. Do you serve @MYANC, or do you serve the people? The people spoke, and the ANC issued an apology on behalf of Minister Mantashe, taking what we believe was a calculated position that showed respect for the women of our country. Yet, you have chosen to frame that response as a political statement intended merely for damage control, suggesting that the matter is closed simply because the ANC says so. Allow South Africans, particularly women, the space to digest the ANC’s statement, engage in meaningful dialogue to them, and ultimately decide for themselves whether the matter is closed. You cannot dictate to the people when they should stop speaking about something that affects them. Those in leadership positions must remember that they serve at the pleasure of an elected President, @CyrilRamaphosa, whose mandate comes from the very people whose trust they are expected to uphold. These are the same people who observe the conduct of those in power and learn valuable lessons about the choices they must make at the ballot box, that’s in few days for local government. @NoncebaMhlauli, please remember this as you navigate your political journey. You have a long road ahead of you, and it would be unfortunate to jeopardise your political future by repeatedly making statements without the necessary consideration, sensitivity, and responsibility. Leadership is not about saying whatever you want, whenever you want. It is about understanding the weight of your words, respecting the people you serve, and knowing when to speak, how to react and when to allow the people to speak for themselves.

It’s really gonna be challenging to make you understand something that you feel it’s acceptable, he’s clearly not alone in that kind of expression.

That is not love, it is disrespect rooted in the belief that his position in society gives him the power to get any woman he wants. Not out of his looks or charms, but the power he has over some vulnerable women.

Remembering where we come from, reflecting on where we are today, and using both to focus on where we are going.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to believe that there are any genuine strategic thinkers or independent think-tank voices in these gatherings of the @MYANC NEC. The depth of discussion, quality of reflection, and consequences of the decisions being taken leave serious questions about the quality of strategic thinking informing the movement’s leadership.
