I finally wrote a song for kids, “Ngxiza, a lullaby” and performed it with Greenwood Primary School, and we will perform it at @ArtscapeTheatre on the 31 October.

I wrote a new lullaby titled “Ngxiza” and this weekend I’m performing it with my favourites at Greenwood Primary School in Gqeberha!
We are deeply honored to have Ntate Caiphus Semenya as our guest of honour.
“Ngxiza ngxiz’umangxizana umntwan’omncinci othandwa ngutata.” ❤️

I built a search tool for the 2026 local elections over the weekend.
Ask any keyword question and it shows you what each party's manifesto actually says about that topic with their own words.
Coverage for more parties coming soon 🇿🇦.

More than a century of two rugby nations refusing to give an inch.
Respect is earned, test after test, generation after generation.

The ANC serves the nduna of apartheid role much better than Bantustan leaders

Yesterday a South African patriot was abducted against his will after he demanded that a Pakistani shut down his shop. An arrogant Pakistani standing nearby called in local thugs, who then kidnapped the brave patriot. We need every detail on this incident immediately and hope a case has already been opened with @SAPoliceService so we can go to the area and make sure that shop is permanently closed, and ensure these dangerous Pakistanis are thrown out. This is within the constraints of the LAW and no patriot should harassed, assaulted or abducted for merely telling a foreigner to leave this country.

The DA told farmers it was their party. Then this happened. 🧵
1/ SA's worst FMD outbreak. All 9 provinces. A national crisis.
A KZN farmer emails the minister — thanking him for vaccines, offering to help coordinate the rollout.
John Steenhuisen's chief of staff Jana le Roux forwards it to the DG and DDG with one line: "for some amusement."
2/ She has no agriculture background. She's a corporate lawyer who followed Steenhuisen from Cape Town city hall into the GNU.
Steenhuisen's response when it went viral? "I requested the person to apologise."
She kept her job.
3/ This is the same ministry that removed veteran FMD expert Dr Danie Odendaal for publicly questioning the vaccine strategy.
Mock the farmers trying to help. Fire the experts trying to fix it.
Then ask for an apology and move on.
This is the DA's "agriculture reset." 🌾

White privilege is what makes people think a 75-year-old gogo can bring services to Jhb when she is 10 years past retirement age.

In Tokyo, there's a cleaning crew that does the impossible every 12 minutes.
They're called TESSEI. They clean the Shinkansen bullet trains at Tokyo Station.
When a train arrives, it stops for 12 minutes before departing again.
Two minutes for passengers to exit.
Three more for the next batch to board.
That leaves seven.
In those seven minutes, one person must:
- Clean 100 seats
- Wipe every tray table
- Vacuum the floor
- Rotate every seat to face the new direction of travel
- Replace all headrest covers
- Check the overhead bins
- Bow to incoming passengers
Seven. Minutes.
They do this hundreds of times a day.
Harvard Business School published a case study about them.
The New York Times called it "the 7-minute miracle."
Tourists now stand on the platform just to watch.
Before they start, they bow to the train.
When they finish, they line up and bow to the passengers.
They're paid by the hour. Many are in their 50s and 60s.
Japan didn't invent cleaning.
They invented the dignity of doing small things perfectly.

ANC wants to discard the law when it applies to them and their proxies.
The main message we are being told here by the racist Afriforum is that if we dare stand up for black people, dare stand up for the marginalised and dare stand up for our generational mission we will be targeted.
When I fought for Julius to succeed me as ANCYL President we knew that the road ahead was treacherous and that the grandchildren of apartheid would never rest in their targeting of the Freedom in our lifetime Generation. This sentence is too harsh and my thoughts are with my brother Julius. Silamulele Peter Mokaba Silamulele.

Dear Friends
I need your help.
Remember the Cuba matter with the Department of Arts and Culture denying me off my opportunity? My work was translated in Cuba in a tribute to Ntate Keorapetse Kgositsile. I was chosen alongside SA icon Antjie Krog.
The head of department of Arts and Culture refused to bring back my copies of the book because of ego reasons and the deep antagonism I get from the department.
When I send messages to the minister spokesperson she ignores them.
I just want the copies of my work guys. It’s not fair and it’s so cruel what they are doing.
Pls RT far and wide till I get my books from Cuba. It’s my work 😔😔
