ActionSA will never sacrifice principle for position. If holding true to principle means losing a position, so be it. Speaker Mthembu has perfectly embodied the grace and humility that defines all ActionSA reps. We entered Council to serve the residents, not to chase power.

"ActionSA will never sacrifice principle for position" Yeah, right 😁

ASA sacrificed principle with its abstention. Tried to keep Morero in power whilst trying to save face with public. Parties that voted against MONC have more principle. Losing speakership natural consequence of this shady move

so you dont care about the state of joburg then , why be in politics if you are going to sit on the sidelines and watch , you get paid to get involved

Oh really. And when you voted with the ANC? You are flip flopping

coming from the same party who voted for a VAT increase and celebrated it loudly, I am not surprised that this is your take from the fiasco that played out yesterday!🤣🤡

What was the principle upheld in choosing not to make a difference when it was in your power to do it?

'Serving residents' would mean getting rid of corrupt people in the council, not doing nothing except abstain. What is the point of ActionSA if they abstain?!?!

Jay Barnard1 year ago

Yeah, dipshit, well now you’ve given more power to this farce in Johannesburg. It was ASA who supported this tool box to serve as mayor of CoJ. Look where we are now. More broken robots, potholes, crime, decaying infrastructure, and utter filth, coming right up !

In this clip, Yudkowsky says that in principle he'd be willing to "sacrifice" all of humanity to create superintelligent AI gods. We're not in any position to do this right now, but if we *were*, he'd push the big red button.

Today, we are in Alexandra with fellow ActionSA supporters and members. We are here to launch a campaign to fix local government for the benefit of residents. In places like Alex, and many others around South Africa, widespread failure of service delivery has long denied residents the dignity of basic services. ActionSA has the values and capabilities to deliver real results for residents in other municipalities similar to our current work in Tshwane through the Multiparty coalition government . #FixLocalGovt ActionSA

"They can't force you to have a digital ID." "But here's the catch—they don't need to force you. They just need to make life impossible without it." "So although there will be no law saying that you must, you just can't work without it, eat without it, bank without it, travel without it, and so on and so forth... You are forced by exclusion." "You can disagree with the agenda on principle all you like. But if you're not in a practical position to resist it, you'll be forced to comply through exclusion." "For example, you may disagree on principle with a policy that mandates digital IDs to access the food system. But if you're not in a practical position to feed yourself without said system, then you're going to be hard pressed to not submit." "You do still need to have access to land, independent water, energy and food production, and a like-minded community. With these five things in place, you can resist the mainstream agenda on principle and in practice."

Today’s DA motion was clearly intended for political theatrics rather than to produce positive outcomes for Gauteng residents. The ANC has failed Gauteng - 2024 results show the electoral decline, that's why we confront them in every by-election, why we push them back in municipalities, and why we will challenge them nationally. But the DA has one problem: They voted for Premier Lesufi, and Hon. Mike Moriarty stood up proudly to second his nomination. This motion is not driven by principle – it is driven by the DA's inconsistency, opportunism, and a desire to rewrite their role in this Premier’s rise. In addition to having reported the illegality of AmaPanyaza way back in 2023, ActionSA has • Tabled a Legislative Oversight Motion compelling implementation of the remedial findings; • Moved for committee summons through OCPOL and the Community Safety Committee; • And ensured that the Premier must report within 30 days and fully comply within 180 days When others play politics, ActionSA continues taking consistent ACTION to hold the Premier and his Executive accountable in a manner that will bring solutions to Gauteng residents. #ActionSAInGautengLegislature #AccountabilityInAction

We want to position ActionSA to emerge as a key player in Gauteng after the 2026 elections. Our objective is clear - No political party should be able to form a government without ActionSA’s support, especially in the three metros of Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni.

College football head coaching is not inherently humble. High-paying job, position of power, etc. But Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman has no time to be vain. “There has to be a place of humility to understand you don’t have all the answers…I know I don’t have all the answers.”

Tony Bennett shares a masterclass on humility and why most people get it wrong. "When we talk to our young men about what humility means, it's twofold and sometimes it's not what you think." "Don't think too highly of yourself. If you wanna turn people off, walk around arrogantly thinking you own this place." "But we also talk about the other aspect: don't think too lowly of yourself. That's false humility." Most people only see one side. Real humility is balanced. "Have sober judgment. That's what humility means - to really know who you are as a player, as a team. And know who you're not." It takes self-awareness to know who you are and where you want to go. Then he shared a definition that changes everything: "I heard Timothy Keller give the definition of humility as this: It's not thinking less of yourself - it's thinking of yourself less." That's the difference. Not self-doubt, but selflessness. "We're all so selfish. When your team gets past that, that's when you have success. It's been about the team and less about yourself." "People look at humility as a position of weakness. But I think it is true strength. There's power in true humility." It takes humility to be willing to learn and listen. It takes humility to be willing to admit you don't know yet. It takes humility to be unoffendable and put the team first. (🎥 UVA Basketball)
