- Well, Kevin, if we as young men had stood up to injustice like these guys we would not have become the country you had to leave...
- My dad, Harold Bruce, passed away this morning. He was 93. The thing I most immediately missed was the phone call after the Springboks beat England. He would have been in tears with pride...
- I hope @CyrilRamaphosa gets well soon. We may criticize him but if he suddenly wasn't there the immediate alternatives are spine-chilling...
- Scary watching JZ enter the election centre a rock star. Given we don't know who financed MK, are we in fact watching a coup of sorts? He offers the ANC immediate rerstoration β just fire Cyril and hand him control. A lot of ministers would go for it, Gwede for one, I suspect...
- I'm told this is a bridge over the Crocodile River being swept away near Barberton. Can anyone confirm...?
00:00 - πππ it's R19/$ today....Yesterday we voted to save the Rand.
- How can there be "no regrets" over a fuck up of this magnitude. It's not about him. It's about the country!!!Expelled ambassador to US Ebrahim Rasool says he has no regrets buff.ly/yHh3QaI
- Stories like this literally make me weep...I am Foster Noza Mathebula. Currently working as Security Officer For G4s SA. I Graduated my LLB Degree on the 8th of October 2018. The Journey was not easy. I am going forward For LLM.
- We're not as rich as the UK and we don't have an NHS but @CyrilRamaphosa made @BorisJohnson look like a beginner last night....No one like this but it had to be said and done #StayHome
- It's really hard to believe a political party thought it had stopped a VAT increase, and then boasted about it, and then realized it hadn't stopped the VAT increase and then vanished. @Action4SA is very quiet this morning...,Lies! Making a recommendation is not the same as making an amendment to the Fiscal Framework! ActionSA made a recommendation & then proceeded to vote in favor of the famework in the Finance Committee
