Is Faith Mangope not abusing John Doe and METROFM SABC for her own personal issues, at the disadvantage of listeners? I have to ask, and we don’t have to agree. She keep asking mayoral candidates what is it that they will do about immigration like they have the legislative mandate, capacity or budget😖

Why does ANC - African National Congress fear taking control of National Treasury? In June 2025, Admiral Monde Lobese correctly remarked that National Treasury RSA is at the centre of the collapse of the South African National Defence Force (SA National Defence Force 🇿🇦). Last week, I saw a video of Prof Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds complaining about Treasury, saying she has a big problem with them. Then yesterday, Prof Somadoda Fikeni asked an important question at the Madlanga Commission: is South Africa strategy-led or Treasury-led? And if some of us agree it is Treasury-led, how do we understand South Africa's current economic crisis? I wonder if they heard what he asked. I completed my doctoral thesis in 2021, graduated in 2022, looking at what relationship South Africa has with institutions that have influence globally within the financial sector, studying the history and character of economic policy decisions, who and how these are internalised and domesticated to craft the kind of economy we have today, highly financialized economy coexisting with unimaginable poverty levels with none or very little productive economy. This is the last paragraph on page 229 of the thesis: “Our failure to understand the Treasury also limits our understanding of South Africa’s relationship with international finance and its impact on the structural socio-economic and environmental decline, which will continue to undermine all efforts at shifting to more radical modes of contesting economic power, including that of the Treasury. In conclusion, the Treasury is the most important and powerful state institution in South Africa, one whose prestige is preserved by post-politicisation mechanisms that were a result of a class project to address the falling rate of profit. The Zuma era demonstrated that Treasury prestige can be challenged; all that is required is for intellectuals and activist campaigns to replace a neocolonial project of financial control with one that represents genuine economic decolonisation in pursuit of economic justice.” You can find the complete thesis here:

Operation Vulindlela led by National Treasury RSA is the legal way to loot a country. The ANC - African National Congress is championing the dismantling of whatever little is left of state capacity. South Africa is a crime scene, PERIOD! I saw Prof Prof Thuli Madonsela #KindnessBuilds crying about the Treasury, it’s just the beginning.

We must all be very worried about what is happening in Parliament of RSA. The Speaker obtained a legal opinion from a law firm in Cape Town on whether to oppose the application to interdict the Impeachment Committee. The opinion clearly stated that she had a constitutional obligation to challenge Cyril Ramaphosa’s application. Yet she did the opposite, she chose not to oppose and instead said she would abide by the court’s decision. Then, when serious public outrage emerged, including calls for her removal from the process, a second legal opinion suddenly appeared a week later, claiming that her decision to abide was correct. A legal opinion after the fact. Guess which law firm gave this advice? Dr Mathews Phosa’s law firm, Phosa Loots Inc Attorneys. The former ANC - African National Congress Treasurer-General. Former Premier deployed by the ANC in Mpumalanga. And we think this is normal? This is madness. It also explains why the Speaker’s media engagement with Clement Manyathela on 702 was so difficult to follow and all over the place. She didn’t want to admin that she got a second opinion from Dr Phosa, of the ANC. That interview is a scene of crime. Modimo. I did say, this Speaker, with facade of sophistication and competence, is actually worse.

We need to have a conversation about why a political party, the Democratic Alliance (Democratic Alliance), which believes apartheid was better, receives so much money from South African companies as donations. Imagine, R523 million of the total R1.1 billion goes to ONE party in just over five years. They are buying their way back into power through apartheid inheritance.😖😣

I'm still stuck at last Friday's Madlanga Commission, I mean Professor Somadoda Fikeni's Master Class on the Political Economy of Inefficiencies. One day, the ANC - African National Congress will want to say, it’s all National Treasury RSA. We must not allow them. They allowed it to happen.

The ANC - African National Congress harbours racists who undermine Black professionals, lawyers in particular😖😣. The Impeachment Committee rescinded Adv. Thandazani Madonsela SC’s nomination as evidence leader, at the expense of a black professional with more than 25 years of experience. And there is no outrage. Ask yourself why?

The narrative that the Economic Freedom Fighters lacks governance experience doesn’t hold up to facts. Watch this video as we give some insights into where the EFF is/has governed. It’s tricky to package more than 10 years experience into a video. #EFFGovetnanceExperience #2016LGE #LocalGovernanceGovernance

More than 4,000 people in the village of Makhuvha in Greater Giyani went to vote in the last local government elections. We are talking about 84% of registered voters who turned out to vote. I had to drive past here. The tar road is gone, and this is now the detour. 😖 Kids are not playing; they are standing in this dirty water trying to show motorists the safest way to pass. The painful reality is that many of these very same people will likely go and vote the same way again on 4 November.
