WATCH 🎥 | Part 1 MINISTER RAMOKGOPA OUTLINES SOUTH AFRICA’S REVISED ELECTRICITY PRICING POLICY The Minister of Electricity and Energy, Dr. Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, today outlined South Africa’s Revised Electricity Pricing Policy. As the country moves past the era of load shedding, the affordability of electricity has emerged as the most pressing energy challenge for citizens, industries, and the government alike. The revised policy aims to modernize the national pricing framework, align it with recent sector reforms, and transition toward cost-reflective tariffs whilst continuing the protection of low-income households and supporting distressed industries. This policy is scheduled to be gazetted for public comment on Friday, 21 August 2026.

WATCH: Home Affairs immigration officer displays lack of knowledge on immigration law. An immigration officer defended an illegal Ethiopian foreigner during a raid after he was found running a pharmacy, tuck shop and restaurant in one space. The officer can be heard misstating immigration law, claiming that it is “an asylum seeker’s choice to seek asylum anywhere he wants”, while silencing a South African citizen who was citing the correct immigration law according to the DHA. The officer’s statement threatens the safety of the country. The Department of Home Affairs has approved the Revised White Paper, which states that asylum seekers must seek asylum in the nearest country, in line with the 1951 UN Convention on International Migration.

⚠️ BREAKING NEWS: SHOCKING DEVELOPMENTS IN DANVILLE CLINIC CHILD CUSTODY INCIDENT⚠️ Progressive Forces of South Africa (PFSA) has received disturbing new information regarding the viral incident that took place at Danville Clinic, involving a Zimbabwean woman and a South African child. Previously, it was believed that the child was biologically related to the woman involved. However, new details have emerged from her boyfriend, identified as Muronga, who has confirmed that the child is not hers. The biological mother a South African citizen is reportedly irresponsibly moving between Soweto and Hammanskraal and has abandoned the child. Further, the child’s grandmother has reportedly refused involvement, saying she has given up on her daughter and cannot assist in the matter. We want to make it clear that: •The Zimbabwean woman is not a legal guardian and did not follow any formal adoption, foster care, or legal guardianship process. •There is no documentation legitimizing her custody of the child. •The child is currently living Danville, at RDPs occupied by foreign nationals without proper vetting or documentation. This situation is extremely alarming, particularly in a country already grappling with rampant child trafficking, illegal migration, and an overburdened public healthcare system. Danville Mbokodos our grassroots community watch group were on the ground and witnessed firsthand the exploitation of public healthcare services and now, what appears to be a deeply troubling child custody issue. Their vigilance continues to be vital in defending the rights of South Africans and holding both illegal actors and state institutions accountable. We call upon: •Social Development to immediately assess the welfare and legal guardianship status of the child. •HomeAffairsSA 🇿🇦 to verify the legal status and documentation of the foreign national involved. •SA Police Service 🇿🇦 open a formal investigation into the matter. This is not just a matter of immigration or public health. This is a child protection emergency. South Africa cannot afford to look away. Danville Clinic is not a lawless zone. Our clinics, our healthcare workers, and most importantly, our children, must be protected from exploitation at all costs. Issued by: Progressive Forces of South Africa (PFSA) In partnership with Danville Mbokodos ✊🏾 For South Africans.

Ignorance is indeed very expensive. This guy who is celebrating Donald Trump clearly does not understand what Donald Trump has done to South Africa, which the guy claims to love. Here are a few things that Donald Trump, whom he is celebrating, has done to South Africa. Donald Trump has threatened South Africa’s trade relationship with the United States and imposed punitive tariff measures on South African exports. He has also publicly and falsely accused South Africa of discriminating against white Afrikaners, falsely promoted damaging claims of a so-called “white genocide”, and runs a racist refugee programme for white South Africans. He portrays South Africa as a country persecuting minorities and has used the White House and international platforms to amplify narratives that South Africa itself says are factually inaccurate. He has linked aid and diplomatic relations to South Africa’s imagined land reform expropriation and attacked South Africa over its case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. His actions have damaged investor confidence through hostile rhetoric, increased diplomatic tensions between Washington and Pretoria, and contributed to the portrayal of South Africa as a country in crisis despite repeated objections from the South African government. The cumulative effect of these actions has been diplomatic strain, economic uncertainty, reputational damage, pressure on trade relations, and the reinforcement of international narratives that sane South Africans know are misleading, politically motivated, and harmful to South Africa’s interests. South Africa has already lost about US$439 million, around R8.5 billion due to Trump’s actions against it. The people who will suffer the most are not politicians or wealthy business owners, but ordinary South Africans. When exports decline and investment falls, companies hire fewer workers, expand less, and cut jobs. The greatest burden will fall on the poor, the unemployed, and young people trying to enter the labour market. The real victims of Donald Trump’s policies towards South Africa are ordinary South Africans. When trade is disrupted, exports fall, investment slows, and businesses become reluctant to expand, it is poor South Africans who suffer the most. The result is fewer jobs, lower economic growth, and less tax revenue to fund public services. In a country already battling high unemployment and poverty, economic punishment ultimately falls hardest on those who can least afford it. At best, this guy speaking is a useful idiot advancing someone else’s agenda without understanding the consequences. At worst, he is politically naive, economically illiterate, and acting against both his own interests and those of his fellow South Africans. Either way, he is cheering a guy harming the very country he claims to love. As I said yesterday, these groups are advancing an agenda that belongs elsewhere and is being funded from somewhere, riding on genuine concerns that have now been hijacked by South Africa’s enemies. Sadly, one cannot understand this in the absence of critical thinking. I never thought that I would live to see the day when a black South African would bootlick an American president who has done so much to harm his country. Ignorance is indeed very expensive. To understand the level of ignorance we are dealing with, this gentleman confidently informed us that the United States has more than 700 million people while arguing about immigration. The actual population of the United States is about 340 million. He overestimated it by more than 360 million people, an error greater than the population of America The irony is that he was trying to lecture others about immigration and population issues while not knowing the population of the very country he was using as an example. If you cannot get a basic demographic fact right, it becomes difficult to take seriously your analysis of immigration, labour markets, economic policy, or population dynamics. This is not a small mistake. Population size is one of the most fundamental facts in any discussion about immigration because it provides the context for understanding the scale of migration and its impact. When someone is wrong by more than 360 million people, they are not simply getting a number wrong. They are demonstrating that they do not understand the subject they are trying to explain, they are just a hammer for someone else. That is why confidence should never be mistaken for knowledge. What he did praising Trump is like a Mozambican, Angolan, Zimbabwean, or Namibian enthusiastically praising the apartheid state for one policy while ignoring that apartheid South Africa spent decades undermining the liberation and development of African countries throughout the region and killing black South Africans. At some point, admiration for a single policy has to be weighed against the totality of the damage caused. The level of ignorance is trying astounding!!

Now that South Africa, through President Cyril Ramaphosa, chairs SADC, there are no longer any excuses for pretending that South Africa’s immigration crisis begins and ends at the Limpopo border. South Africa cannot sustainably resolve regional migration through police raids, deportations and empty speeches about undocumented foreigners. It must confront the conditions forcing people to leave countries such as Zimbabwe and Mozambique. These root causes are known; they are disputed elections, repression, corruption, unemployment, economic collapse and poor governance. SADC already has the necessary instruments. The SADC Treaty requires member states to uphold human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Its election guidelines require political tolerance, freedom of expression and association, impartial electoral institutions, equal access to state media and genuinely open political competition. The Protocol on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation requires SADC to promote democratic institutions, good governance and regional stability. Zimbabwe’s own 2023 SADC Election Observation Mission found that aspects of the election fell short of Zimbabwean law and the SADC election guidelines. It identified restrictions on political participation, the partisan conduct of state media, restrictions on freedom of assembly and expression, problems involving the voters’ roll and serious failures in the delivery of ballot papers. Nothing had been done three years in to fix these problems. In Mozambique, SADC called for electoral management bodies to be professionalised and reconstituted on a non-partisan basis. It also called for electoral reforms to be enacted well before elections rather than being introduced close to polling day. ⁠ President Ramaphosa should now place the implementation of these recommendations formally before the SADC Summit. He is now the SADC chairman and has no reason for excuses not to do it. His chairmanship should demand time-bound reform programmes, publish reports showing which governments have complied, strengthen post-election reviews and stop SADC observer reports from becoming ceremonial documents that are forgotten as soon as incumbents are inaugurated. Most importantly, Article 33 of the SADC Treaty permits sanctions against a member state that persistently fails to fulfil its treaty obligations or implements policies undermining SADC’s principles and objectives. Ramaphosa cannot impose those sanctions by himself, because the Summit acts collectively and generally by consensus, but he can force the issue onto its agenda and require every regional leader to state publicly whether they support or oppose enforcement. ⁠He has a choice to be like Nelson Mandela, or Julius Nyerere or Ian Khama who called a spade a spade. South Africa can also push for coordinated regional migration and labour policies, better border administration and the implementation of SADC agreements governing employment and the lawful movement of people. But managed migration cannot substitute for democratic government and functioning economies. If President Ramaphosa wants fewer Zimbabweans and Mozambicans crossing into South Africa out of desperation illegally, he must use South Africa’s diplomatic and economic influence to insist that their governments respect elections, constitutionalism, human rights and the rule of law. Immigration is not merely a border-management problem. It is also the bill South Africa receives for tolerating failed governance next door. Seventy percent giving birth in Musina are from Zimbabwe according to the South Africa government. It gives South Africa not only the SADC but the moral authority to call for a roundtable. Nelson Mandela understood this, he used South Africa’s mighty and SADC protocols to fix problems. President Ramaphosa now chairs SADC. He has the instruments, the regional platform and the economic leverage. What remains to be seen is whether he has the political courage and will to use them. Many opposition leaders, past and present, across Southern Africa have accused South African leaders, particularly those within the ANC, of accepting bribes from delinquent governments in the region and using South Africa’s economic and diplomatic might to shield those governments from scrutiny and accountability. South Africa’s chairmanship of SADC now presents ANC leaders with an opportunity to prove that they can uphold the organisation’s own democratic principles, perform their regional responsibilities and put South Africa’s national interests first. They must demonstrate that South Africa will no longer be used by corrupt and delinquent regional leaders seeking protection from accountability. Protecting governments that rig elections, suppress political opposition, loot public resources, butcher constitutions and destroy their economies does not merely harm the citizens of those countries; it ultimately harms South Africa itself. The consequences manifest in economic instability, regional insecurity and massive illegal immigration into South Africa. President Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC can no longer complain about the symptoms of illegal immigration while protecting, tolerating or refusing to confront the governments creating its root causes. South Africa now chairs SADC. It has the diplomatic platform, economic influence and regional instruments required to demand reform. The question is whether its leaders have the political courage, and the clean hands to use them. South Africa is now in charge. Let us wait and see whether it will be just a paper tiger or a real regional power that exercises the SADC powers it now holds. Power without responsibility is simply bad and terrible leadership without any moral fibre.

Dear South African Government, This is vigilantism, and it is damaging the international reputation of your country. Ordinary citizens have no business harassing landlords and their tenants. They are not government officials, nor do they have the legal authority or professional training to carry out immigration enforcement or any similar function. Threatening to confiscate property from landlords because they are upholding the law might seem like a joke in South Africa, but these videos are now circulating internationally and are already in the hands of hostile governments that will weaponise them to discredit your country. I never thought the day would come when a white South African would be protecting black Africans from black South Africans. Yet that day is here. If there are undocumented immigrants, there are lawful processes and institutions to deal with them. Mob intimidation, public harassment, and threats against property owners are not among them. A country governed by the rule of law cannot allow self-appointed enforcers to replace the state. Unless a sane leader, one who is not chasing cheap populist votes, stands up to this dangerous lunacy, Brand South Africa will continue to suffer. The greatest damage to the country’s image is no longer coming from its critics, but from these senseless counter-revolutionaries who mistake intimidation for patriotism. This is how Zimbabwe’s collapse began, with thugs being allowed to harass citizens while politicians pursued cheap populist votes. The results are there for all to see, a broken country that was once regarded as Africa’s second most sophisticated economy after South Africa. Is this the path you have chosen to tread? A path where the rule of law is sacrificed, where intimidation replaces governance, and where a country’s international reputation is destroyed in pursuit of short-term political gains? History has shown that once governments allow mob action and lawlessness to become tools of political mobilisation, reversing the damage becomes extremely difficult. South Africa must learn from the mistakes of others before it follows the same dangerous road.

Dear South African Government, This is vigilantism, and it is damaging the international reputation of your country. Ordinary citizens have no business harassing landlords and their tenants. They are not government officials, nor do they have the legal authority or professional training to carry out immigration enforcement or any similar function. Threatening to confiscate property from landlords because they are upholding the law might seem like a joke in South Africa, but these videos are now circulating internationally and are already in the hands of hostile governments that will weaponise them to discredit your country. I never thought the day would come when a white South African would be protecting black Africans from black South Africans. Yet that day is here. If there are undocumented immigrants, there are lawful processes and institutions to deal with them. Mob intimidation, public harassment, and threats against property owners are not among them. A country governed by the rule of law cannot allow self-appointed enforcers to replace the state. Unless a sane leader, one who is not chasing cheap populist votes, stands up to this dangerous lunacy, Brand South Africa will continue to suffer. The greatest damage to the country’s image is no longer coming from its critics, but from these senseless counter-revolutionaries who mistake intimidation for patriotism. This is how Zimbabwe’s collapse began, with thugs being allowed to harass citizens while politicians pursued cheap populist votes. The results are there for all to see, a broken country that was once regarded as Africa’s second most sophisticated economy after South Africa. Is this the path you have chosen to tread? A path where the rule of law is sacrificed, where intimidation replaces governance, and where a country’s international reputation is destroyed in pursuit of short-term political gains? History has shown that once governments allow mob action and lawlessness to become tools of political mobilisation, reversing the damage becomes extremely difficult. South Africa must learn from the mistakes of others before it follows the same dangerous road.
