every “L” I took was really just a stunt to make my “Ws” look better.

Notice the phrasing here: when South Africans don't trust public institutions the media say 'people don't trust government' but when it's private institutions like big banks they say 'people don't trust the employees'.
Should be made a textbook example of media bias.
South Africans don’t trust employees at Standard Bank, FNB, Nedbank and Absa

EFF champions the inscourcing SAns who are exploited by the tender system. Proposed for pensioners to be exempt from paying rates, proposed for unemployed professionals to be exempted from paying council fees
Twitter wants us to believe shouting "abahambe" is putting SAns first

This is the Braamfontein-Newtown ward. This should finally dismiss the fallacy that EFF only wins elections on campus. The SRC victories are now turning into government victories.

Corporate SA only thrives in 3rd world countries. Trillions that could have been invested in SA have been wasted abroad.

Cape Town, Ward 57... yes, that's right and your eyes are not deceiving you: An EFF stronghold in the Southern Suburbs. My guess: University of Cape Town student residences. But you're welcome to correct me if I'm wrong.

I seem to recall the EFF fighting against the VAT increase, pushing to end data expiry from telecommunications providers, tabling the Insourcing Bill, and tabling the Student Debt Cancellation Bill—all since the 2024 elections . Yet because they don't sing "abahambe," you claim they aren't prioritizing South Africans? Ehh

I live in the suburbs, but I'm under no illusion about how far removed I am from the townships. One missed salary could easily change my postcode. So township development is very much my business.
le pouvoir noir retweeted
You just so happen to live amongst the people it wants to service... Most black South Africans are a missed salary way from moving back to the townships and when that day comes you will pray that the people you were voting for were also focused in servicing those areas.

The people of Cape Town better remember the price of rent, how long it takes to commute to work, how many communities we’ve lost to gang violence & gentrification and the money being spent on a wall instead of building a city that works for everyone. That’s the DA’s legacy!

This year I am lending my vote to the EFF. Last time it was Good Party. Both oppose the DA in Cape Town well.
REMEMBER: LGE aren’t winner takes all. We also vote in those who will oppose & challenge. If you are in obviously DA dominated ward, vote for & strengthens the Opposition

South Africa's economic policies are always against the needs of the country.
The country has no major IP in manufacturing of vehicles or machines or electronics and biggest input in that production is the minerals used but ANC domkops shutdown over 70% of smelters

Advertising might be one of the only industries where you can still come in with a completely unrelated degree from a whatever-tier school and still do really well for yourself in the long run imho.

They sell public buildings and land meant for affordable housing. You can barely hear a South African accent in the streets of Cape Town.

& it’s not just the townships. There’s a shanty town between Goodwood and Kensington via the Voortrekker, there’s one in Granger Bay, there’s another one in District Six. Not to mention Singabalapha in Obs. You’ll find a homeless person on majority of the streets in Cape Town.

As someone who is in a city like JHB for example, to say “my vote won't change anything” in a city where no party has had a majority since 2016 is absolute madness.
Small shifts in votes move seats nina and seats decide who sits at the negotiating table, are you maaad.

Corporate SA has no capacity to develop this country , not even apartheid directed at serving White minority could rely on this very tiny part of South Africa for the size of population.
SA needs to develop a highly technical public sector to build the infrastructure as a start
