I live in EThekwini.
Who do I blame for service delivery failures in my neighbourhood?
• Ward councillor is DA
• Mayor is ANC
• Deputy mayor is NFP
• Premier is IFP
Successes are quickly owned, but failures are deflected.
Voting is an extreme sport.

Black middle class like to tell poor South Africans what to protest about. They wake up every morning and go to work when the poor protest against lack of service delivery, crime, Illegal immigration, high costs of living and unemployment. They say the protests inconvenience them

MYTH vs FACT:
MYTH - Asylum seekers are running away from persecution and are vulnerable.
FACT - the so called Asylum seekers are in-fact criminals who are abusing our immigration to continue their criminal activities.
MYTH vs FACT 📢 | Asylum seekers are issued official documentation while their applications are being processed.
Let’s share the facts and help build a better understanding of migration.

What kind of asylum seekers bring explosives to the "safe" country they are running to🤔?
#sapsGP [TWO SUSPECTS ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF EXPLOSIVES IN RANDFONTEIN]
Two foreign nationals, a Mozambican man and a Zimbabwean woman, have been arrested for the unlawful possession of explosives following an intell driven op in Randfontein on Thursday, 15/10.
The multidisciplinary operation, involving #SAPS Crime Intelligence, the National Intervention Unit, Fidelity Specialised Services and other role players, resulted in the recovery of detonating cords, blasting cartridges, connector-capped fuses, mercury liquid, four cellphones and cash. The recovered explosives are estimated to have a street value of approximately R70 000. The suspects will appear in court soon.

They hate South Africans so much they poison us. A large majority of fake alcohol cases you see in SA involve foreigners. Chinese, Pakistanis, Somalis, Ethiopians, Malawians, Mozambicans, Zimbabweans, Nigerians etc. They came here specifically to destroy us🚮🚮🚮🚮
NEWS: An Ethiopian national has been arrested for selling alleged fake alcohol in eQonce in the Eastern Cape Town.
It has has been alleged that he also supplied a tavern in Zwelitsha and operated the network of fake alcohol with his brothers.
More arrests have not been ruled out in the matter - KZN Tonight Podcast

Government keeps reminding us that 95% of asylum seekers don’t qualify. But how many years do they spend here before that decision is made? 5? 10? More? During that time, they hold Section 22 permits and can exercise certain rights. When they’re finally rejected, who ensures they leave? Those are the real issues. 😩
The SABC reporter tells viewers they will show visuals of Fikile Mbalula breaking down due to the "sensitivity of the situation."
How different is this from daily broadcasts of live visuals of grieving family members who have lost their kin to crime?

A government hospital can turn away a South African because they don't have a referral from a clinic or a GP but will gladly accept an illegal immigrant with no problem . That's the reality.

Interesting how government has so much political will to do the things citizens don’t want and so little political will to do the things SA citizens desperately need. When it comes to illegal foreigners they crawl on broken glass, through fire but us they always have excuses🤷🏾♂️
[WATCH] “The legal team has told us we are bound by law to comply with the court order; otherwise, we'll be in contempt. We must find a balance between compliance with the court order and listening to the concerns of South Africans," says ICM chairperson Mmamoloko Kubayi on the asylum-seekers' court order. #Newzroom405

23 children died in 2024 after eating snacks from South African spaza shops contaminated with organophosphate pesticides (Terbufos confirmed in major cases like Naledi, Soweto).
Nearly two years later, SAPS confirms inquest dockets are still open - zero arrests, zero charges, zero prosecutions for the deaths.
Public Protector found systemic failures in Gauteng food safety enforcement and understaffing of inspectors. Families are still waiting.

Unemployed South Africans are still printing Z83s and making countless copies of documents to certify. Instead of building an online system linked to Home Affairs, DBE and DHET, they decided to use money to build a system for illegal foreigners.

A South African school can turn away a South African child because they do not have a clinic card and are not staying in that area but will gladly accept a child of an illegal immigrant with no papers or clinic card whatsoever.

ATTACK THE MESSAGE? OR DISCREDIT THE MESSENGER?
I promised myself I would never dignify anything published by @News24 with a formal response. But its hit piece on Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma demands one.
Let me be clear: this is not an endorsement of Jacinta or the March and March movement per se. It is a defence of her right, as much as mine and that of every other South African, to hold this government to account on issues about which we feel passionately.
What the editors at News24, huddled around their editorial cauldron, concocting the latest batch of ideological gruel to serve their readers, appear to have missed is one rather inconvenient fact: Jacinta's message resonates with millions of South Africans. And not one of them seems remotely interested in asking the most obvious question of all: Why?
Instead, we are served a steaming bowl of hyperbole, histrionics and emotionally charged sound bites. Anything, it seems, to avoid confronting the substance of the discontent.
So let us strip away the theatrics and get to the heart of the matter.
This government has, from the outset, abdicated its responsibility to serve the best interests of the South African people. And the government we have today - the entire political establishment, not merely one party or faction - has become a malignant mass, a festering cancer on the body politic.
The real story isn't that Jacinta is saying things that make News24 uncomfortable. It's that millions of South Africans are listening - because, after decades of broken promises, corruption, incompetence and political indifference, they have every reason to be angry.
And perhaps that is the question News24 should be asking itself: not why Jacinta is speaking, but why so many South Africans feel she is worth listening to.
Doxxing Jacinta, threatening her, and attempting to portray her as dangerous, as though she herself represents the problem in South Africa, is an exercise in creative deflection.
It is far easier to vilify the messenger than confront the message. Far easier to intimidate a citizen than answer the questions she is asking. And far easier to manufacture a public enemy than acknowledge the failures of those who actually hold power.
When the spotlight falls on the messenger rather than the message, ask yourself what, exactly, they are trying to distract you from.

Xenophobia is a word used by people who want to stay in your country by force.
It's that simple.

Mass migration has erupted in violent protests in South Africa. This is where I was born and raised - the city of Durban, traditional home of the Zulu people. On many visits over the past few years I was shocked to see the presence of Gulf Arabs rising. Some of my Zulu friends asked me what this was and where it came from? Islamic countries have been trying to conquer South Africa for years now with the assistance of guess who? Yep. The “open borders” cult of George Soros and - here’s another shock - the Marxists of critical race theory etc.
Once again the globalists directing their Muslim & leftist proxies to invade & conquer.
I am proud of the South African people for standing up - not of the violence which is never good - proud rather of their moral courage. They were not lacking before during the struggle against Apartheid and they are not lacking now. It is terrible & tragic that human beings have been used as a weapon to invade because we know what that means: removing this weapon will be painful & as always, the innocent will suffer. But it is a mistake to fall for their deception & think the globalists are driving mass migration out of concern for the wellbeing of any human being. That is naive to the point of suicide.
Cry the Beloved Country. Africa was blessed by God and has been cursed by man ever since.
