In the seventies, I was sitting at the kitchen table at 25 Langeberg Street in Welkom, looking out over a manicured park, one of the many that graced the town. A municipal van pulled up across the road to repair a burst water pipe. The white man stayed behind the steering wheel, drinking coffee from a flask and eating the sandwiches his wife had packed for him. Outside, in the heat, a group of black men were digging and repairing the pipe. The only finger the white man lifted was the one he used to hold his sandwich.
This was the zeitgeist of Welkom, the poster child of apartheid

In 2016 Eskom was ripped off by Exxaro with inflated coal price of R1132 per ton. A 249,89% more than agreed price. While on that, the Zondo Inquiry heard how Optimum Coal [Glencore] refused to supply Eskom and stole R2bn in penalty fee under Ramaphosa Chairmanship. Bring Facts

When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

We cannot turn a blind eye to the fact that there are children who do not go to school. We cannot silence our conscience when we see a mother lacking the means to feed her children. We cannot ignore the many people around us who are suffering, alone and vulnerable. We need to commit ourselves to the charity and closeness of the Good Samaritan who did not remain indifferent upon seeing misfortune, but took responsibility for his brother’s life. (Lk 10:29-37) #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay
You finally grew balls. 😂😂😂😂😂
In the end, the writing is on the wall—properly displayed in percentages.
It begs the obvious question: what is it about YOU that produced this performance? Why is it that you have lost almost half of your vote share? Yes, YOU!
As I have said before, go argue with the wall.
As for me, I did abstain. A deliberate, conscientious abstention.
The right to abstain is not limited to parliament or council sessions. It is very much constitutional, and available to all citizens—especially those who DO register to vote!
That our voter registration increases by millions every time is a sign of genuine interest. When they do not show up to vote, after turning out to register, they may very well be refusing to choose between different versions of failure!
Voting MUST NEVER be a conscription; it is a right that comes with responsibility—one that can’t be deployed without conscience.
Above all, NO ONE is entitled to people's votes. VOTES are earned, just like respect. To say otherwise is the gospel according to dictators.
How else can we explain that Mandela campaigned in 1994 and lost both KZN and Western Cape, yet Mbeki won both 10 years later? They earned the votes through results on the ground by improving the living standards of our people. They were NOT ENTITLED to them!
Those who protest by deliberately not voting or deliberately spoiling their vote are exercising as sacred a right as the right to vote! A true revolutionary should know that, and would listen to them, for they too have registered a view!
It is in line with this spirit—the letter of which is in the Constitution, that 'every citizen is free to make political choices'—that Ronnie Kasrils, alongside Barney Pityana and others, in 2014 called on people to protest by spoiling their vote.
I’m sure you’ll agree, these are stalwarts of the anti-apartheid movement. They understood that no one—NOT even their own comrades—is ENTITLED to votes.
But first, go to the wall, brother. There, the measure of your weight is fully determined."

On the 3rd of Nov we had the US midterm elections, the performance of those elections was solely and correctly placed on Trump. A day later we have our LGE, and the president is completely absolved; not a single media outlet is seeking to hear his view. The news today is about some random stuff.
