1/3] A call to Ethical Leadership | ‘Improve the quality of life of all citizens and free the potential of each person; and...’ A practical and inspiring talk by our beloved Chief Justice Mogoeng at the 2016 Social Investment Conference youtu.be/Dcl9Ct4UyU8
What about the Minister of Eskom, Tourism, Transport or Finance? They may be less complicated acting appointments…
President @CyrilRamaphosa has in terms of section 98 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa of 1996, appointed Minister Stella Ndabeni as Acting Minister of Health with effect from 24 August to 30 September 2026. tinyurl.com/3te5hkh5
Could we consider starting at a 0.5% threshold🤓 To be reasonable and still give maximal effect to the choice we made to be a multi-party democracy🇿🇦, AND can we legislate that parties must have actual substantive democratic processes + fiscal transparency in their constitutions?
Another of our national aunts. Women have really carried this nation through so many challenging moments.
Trusting she is still available to do national duty, as called upon. Our RSA commissions of enquiry and other institutions need people of integrity 🇿🇦🎈
Our aunt @GJFras is doing the lawds work by speaking truth to power as only she can. Not my actual aunt, but as a national treasure I'm claiming you 🫶🏾🇿🇦
Highlights: Dr Geraldine Fraser‑Moleketi explains that Section 25 of the Constitution was never the primary obstacle to land reform; the real culprits were state incapacity, corruption, and a lack of political will. #Constitution30 #AfricaDay2026
‘An ANC president’ might unintentionally communicate ‘any ANC president’. Might it not be more accurate to say that we prefer Ramaphosa? Obvs we acknowledge he is the ANC leader🤓 Given our complex RSA, we might not all like every ANC leader, e.g., Paul Mashatile 🫶🏾
If any kind human have this judgement 🙏🏾 cc @JustineLimLaw @pierredevos
Thank you! I was on @ConCourtSA site 😅 Now reading like a non-law human nerd 🫶🏾
Unrelated thought, could we ask our ConCourt to hold the hands of their Supreme Court and gently guide them back to a semblance of constitutional adjudication? Their ‘major questions doctrine’, etc, are perhaps too nakedly, uhm, partisan politics 🇿🇦
100% agreed👍🏾
Even a simple surgery with a few days in hospital was about R30 000-ish. Glad I was covered when it happened 🙏🏾
Brother, Siviwe is doing what all Ministers do iro this public announcement.
She is the Minister, and so she is announcing it.
Additionally, I am always in favour of good speech delivery. I'm pro humans delivering in their best language and getting it translated as necessary 🎈
Question: Are we suggesting that our foreign policy outlook based on our constitutional principles and fundamental constitutional values actually aligns with that of Russia and China? Unless proven wrong I’m shocked. 🙏🏾
SA's foreign policy outlook will be determined by principle, not external forces

We appreciate that the USA and other international matters are pressing, aside from our RSA matters, but could we rather consider starting earlier than expected instead of, uhm, later 🇿🇦
Fabulous hearing cogent and actual journalists help us make sense of that production in that white house 🇿🇦
PS: is this your weekly/monthly cos we miss hearing your voice as our chief editor of all newsrooms 😅🫶🏾
I did things differently for this episode of The Readiness Report with @dailymaverick - In DC, I hang out with my buddy, Phillip Van Niekerk quite a lot. He is the former editor of @mailandguardian
We share a lot of insights & laughs. He knows DC. So here!

Nope. :) This is the moment when John spoke from his complex positionality. He spoke as a government minister and leader of the second-largest political party and did justice to both 🎈But our Cupcake was very much our President. 🇿🇦
I'm confident @Our_DA @andrewhitfield
will be sure to clarify this unclear claim. Absent the clarification you've asked for, it is ambiguous at best and possibly misleading at worst. We can’t be comparing stones to oranges 🇿🇦 #FactsMatter

I'm still surprised that a collective of humans approved this text, which I trust is a message showing factual and statistical improvement, and I didn't quite appreciate how it could be (mis)interpreted. @Our_DA tends to be better at comms than this🇿🇦
