Every revolution eventually feeds on itself.
Not by name but the most vicious attack from Julius Malema seems to be directed to Ndlozi and Dali MPOFU. Also it seems Malema feels like one of the ringleaders of the purge of EFF leaders to MK Party is Dali MPOFU. It's definitely the end of the road for Dali at the EFF, he should just join MK Party tomorrow

Leadership is vital as the trust deficit is closed and water security is restored to Gauteng. Clear communication of facts rebuilds trust. Thank you for your service in challenging times.

An interesting aspect of major cities in winter rainfall areas, is that once they decide to decouple from the natural hydrological cycle, they start to boom. Capital likes water security, and diversified solutions, including desalination, provide it. Melbourne & CT both did it.
Cape Town is absolutely booming. I’ve never ever ever seen it this full and this busy!

This is not the first time that betrayal has occurred by the Zuma clan. After the Battle of Isandlwana, a deal was made with Lord Chelmsford. In return for land at Nkandla, the Zuma clan had to betray the nation. See biznews.com/leadership/2016/…
Jacob Zuma will go down in history as the first South African president to have willingly betrayed his own country in service to foreign nationals. (Guptas) His acts of corruption will be taught in history books for generations, and the name “Zuma” will become synonymous with corruption.

There are consequences for foreign policy decisions like the ICJ case against Israel. That which you sew, so shall you reap. Targeted economic sanctions are not far away for our political elites and the Oligarchs that sustain them.
