Mashaba was under the thumb of Malema. Malema even laughed about it. Mashaba's dodgy EFF deals are even documented by the Public Protector....

🇿🇦THE BEE 100: PROF GUMEDE’S R1 TRILLION LOOTERS LIST‼️
Source: Prof William Gumede, Wits School of Governance
Key Finding: “Over R1 trillion has been transferred to fewer than 100 politically connected individuals under the banner of black economic empowerment”
PROF GUMEDE’S DAMNING CONCLUSIONS:
“BEE only benefits a very small group of politically connected tied to the ANC, linked to the trade unions, and the same people are recycled again and again”
“…is a covert transfer, stimulus, this is state-enabled looting under the guise of empowerment…”
“Black Economic Empowerment has led to increased poverty, unemployment and inequality in South Africa”

Herman enjoys speaking of "honest politics"
Here's Herman's version of honest politics.
On 6 June 2024, Michael Beaumont himself announced that ASA would not enter into any working relationship with the ANC at any level of government.
This is how they farmed votes.
The real hypocrisy is ASA's changing standards, only proving once again that politicians will screw over the very people they make promises to.
ASA previously regarded negotiations with the ANC as sufficient grounds to question another party's political integrity, but here's Michael expecting people to accept the same negotiations as entirely innocent when ActionSA conducts them.
You can't make this stuff up.

🇿🇦THE TWO BIGGEST LOSERS IN THE 2026 LOCAL MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS‼️
It seems the ANC is being relegated to the villages, while the EFF is facing extinction all together. There is very little available for the ANC and EFF to celebrate.
The EFF went from holding over 900 seats countrywide in 2021 to less than 200 in 2026. The ANC went from 4000 seats in 2021 to just above 1700 seats in 2026.
For the EEF, the "xenophobes" listened to Julius Malema when he told South Africans that he doesn't want the votes of people who are against illegal immigration in South Africa, he called them xenophobes. He told them that he would rather not get votes if the votes come from xenophobes. Well, unfortunately for him, South Africans listened and let him to get his votes from outside South Africa.
For the ANC, it seems the picture of Nelson Mandela doesn't work anymore. It seems the people want services, jobs and a functioning country rather than the history of the struggle against apartheid. For ages, all that the ANC had to do to get votes, was to wave the picture of Nelson Mandela, speak about the history of apartheid, and make the same empty promises of transformation that they made in 1994. Well, it seems that gum has run out of its sweetness, and the people have decided to spit it out.
The Democratic alliance is the biggest winner this time. After all, it seems the politics of race no longer hold water in South Africa. People just want the dignity and functionality of their country back. Whether that can be delivered by the Democratic Alliance or not, that remains to be seen.
At least, this time, South Africans have literally taken the slogan of "amandla - ngawethu" and made it a reality. The people have taken the power back from politicians who believed for many years that the people are their subjects, not their masters. The people have taken their throne back and this is a beautiful thing to watch for South Africans.

This one is WILD:
Neighborhood Center, DIEPSLOOT:
ANC 47% (-16)
DA 15% (+12)
EFF 10% (-10)
ActionSA 10% (-1)
SACP 5% (+5)
Turnout 39% (+10)
The DA/Zille going +12 in Diepsloot was not on my bingo card. I know there is a deluge of hectic figures, but this remarkable.

🇿🇦CONFIRMED: A VOTE FOR THE PA IS A VOTE FOR THE ANC‼️
Gayton Mckenzie already admitted that the PA, IFP, EFF, MK will work together with the ANC to run Jo'burg!
There should be limitations on coalitions. It’s not a win if 5 losing parties join hands to overthrow a winning political party... that is not what the majority of citizens voted for then.

DA’s first Election Results projection: DA attains over 1-million votes from Black South Africans, overtaking EFF
By Ashor Sarupen
DA Federal Council Chairperson
This morning I made the DA’s first results projection, from the floor of the IEC National Results Operation Centre.
The DA’s election data modelling indicates that, for the first time in our history, more than one million black South Africans will have voted for the Democratic Alliance, in this Local Government Election of 2026.
Our projections also indicate that the DA will have received more votes from black South Africans than the EFF, making us a mainstream party in every community, whether you are black, white, coloured or Indian.
These are projections, and we await the final certified results.
But the significance of this potential milestone goes far beyond the numbers.
For too long, South African politics has been defined by the assumption that the colour of your skin determines the party you vote for.
The DA has always believed that South Africa can be different, that we can build a party for all, that works for all, and that delivers for all.
Early results suggest that this vision is finding support across more communities than ever before.
It is a reminder that political parties do not have to rely on racial division, resentment or hatred to build support. South Africans can find common cause in the things that unite us: the desire for good government, opportunity, dignity and a better future for all South Africans.
And perhaps the most remarkable thing about this election is what it means for the elections still to come.
We are moving towards a South Africa in which voting for the DA, regardless of the colour of your skin or the community in which you live, is no longer regarded as an unusual political choice.
A South Africa in which voting for the a party for all South Africans, whether you are black, white, coloured or Indian, is unremarkable, is, in itself, remarkable.
Because it means that the old racial boundaries of our politics are beginning to lose their hold.
It would mean that a country for all is not simply an aspiration, but something South Africans are choosing to build together.
And it would mean that the future of our politics is no longer determined by the divisions of our past.

🇿🇦SHOCK ELECTION DEVELOPMENT! VF PLUS SURGES INTO THIRD PLACE NATIONALLY, OVERTAKING THE EFF AS DA LEADS THE ANC IN EARLY 2026 RESULTS‼️ #Elections2026
Wow, who would've thought that South Africa would fall so quickly under the Communist ANC? Me, me!!
So here you have it people of South Africa. No more telling the world what's really going on in South Africa.
Can anyone remember when the ANC, under saint Mandela, were out calling for "democracy" and for the country to unite post Apartheid? Can anyone remember how they called on freedom of the press, association and movement? Can anyone recall how they said that they were going to treat everyone equally in the New South Africa?
Yeah, they kinda lied.
So, all those Liberal asswipes who had tears in their eyes as they watched as Mandela walked to freedom, here's a middle finger to you. In your naivity you unleashed the next African tyrants and you aided in taking a once thriving, almost first-world country and helped flush it down the Communist toilet so that even Cuba looks First World compared to South Africa.

EMPTY BOXES STOLEN ON DAY ONE, AND WE STILL VOTE ON PAPER‼️
Empty ballot boxes disappeared overnight from Amahlongwa Community Hall in Umdoni, KZN the moment special voting started for the local elections.
Three boxes, stationery, signage gone this station had a guard but he was paid by ANC to look away‼️ a case has been opened with the police.
IEC says non-security material, we have spares available so no papers where taken a blatant lie‼️ Same story every time from IEC that is working with the ANC totally corrupt institution.
We still vote on paper ballots in 2026‼️
No fingerprints, no biometrics‼️
Manual counting serial numbers exist, but our trust is already broken with ANC when empty boxes vanish before a single vote is counted, people in South Africa and around the world stop believing the process is clean🔥
Cyril and the ANC keep talking about democracy while the system stays wide open to doubt and blatant corruption ‼️Paper ballots repeated get lost or stolen security failures is deliberate fraud.
🎥🔥This is how faith in the vote dies and dictatorship is born ‼️

The Tommy Robinson case is a political hit job.
This trial is the ultimate blueprint for how the system handles people who don't fall in line. You don't even have to like the guy to see exactly how the British courts just exposed themselves.
For years, Robinson has been on the front lines exposing grooming gangs, tracking mass unregulated immigration, and sounding the alarm on the erosion of British culture.
His tireless work to save the UK made him an enemy of an establishment desperate to hide the truth. Because they couldn't silence his journalism, they went after his family.
Mainstream media tracked Robinson's ex-wife and children to a holiday spot in Cyprus and slapped their faces on the front page during peak UK tensions.
That is targeted endangerment, plain and simple. But when the state protects the press, doxxing an activist's young kids is called "journalism."
When Robinson turned the tables, hiring investigators to find the editors and warning them he would make their families famous, the entire establishment panicked.
They couldn't handle the exact same energy they dish out daily. Suddenly, accountability became a "criminal threat."
The prosecution literally admitted in court that Robinson's messages contained zero actual threats of violence. Read that again. No violence. Yet, the British legal system spent weeks of court time and taxpayer money to treat this media dispute like a major national security threat.
While the UK government is actively letting violent criminals out of prison early because their cells are full, they are perfectly happy to reserve a space for a citizen journalist who pushed back against corporate bullies. The priorities are entirely backwards.
This isn't about harassment; it's about a state-backed hit job designed to make an example out of a man who loves his country.

Orlando Pirates 2 – Kaizer Chiefs 1.
Helen Zille 2 – Dada Morero 0. 😭
Interviewer: How will you solve Johannesburg's water crisis?
Dada: "We are experiencing El Niño. We kindly ask residents to use less water, thou shall share bafethu."
Helen: "Where we govern, we budget for maintenance. We don't wait for infrastructure to collapse before remembering it exists. We prioritise maintenance and invest in poor communities."
Dada, meanwhile, is asking residents to conserve water while Helen is explaining how to conserve municipal infrastructure.
Johannesburg, this is not a football match. You're the ones paying for the goals! 😂
