- I will do everything in my power to ensure that these Blue Light Bullies are brought to book. I have already engaged the Executive Director of IPID and will be demanding that Minister Cele ensure SAPS arrest these thugs within 24 hours.
00:00 - Changing names instead of changing lives. Sad but true.
- Remember when peaceful tourism sector protestors were dispersed with water cannons by @SAPoliceService in Cape Town? Why should #ZumaJudgement protestors be treated any differently? Minister Cele and the SAPS are undermining the rule of law.
- Murders 67.6 per day Rapes. 153 per day Robbery 364 per day Kidnapping 36 per day #CrimeStats
- The Western Cape is worlds apart from any other province. Well done @alanwinde and your team. This is how things are done in a capable state.[WATCH] Our Brackengate temporary hospital accepted the 1st patient today, making it the WC’s 3rd field hospital to open. The 1st patient was admitted to the 330 bed hospital this afternoon where he received a heartwarming welcome&round of applause from healthcare workers.🙏🏼🏥📢
00:00 - The ANC’s five point plan: 1. Expropriate *property* without compensation 2. Postpone elections 🗳 3. Nationalise healthcare 4. Remove guns for self defence 5. Defund visible policing👮♂️ for *we the people* and increase the VIP protection budget for the elite.
- South Africa is a strange place. People are expressing outrage about what happened to #GeorgeFloyd in USA. Fine. But not one word about Collins Khosa and Petrus Miggels and the 9 other South Africans who have died at the hands of @SAPoliceService
- Dear @SAPoliceService The lives of your police officers have been threatened by @Julius_S_Malema Will you allow the rising red tide to erase the thin blue line? The authority of the state has been challenged. Your next step?

- Anyone heard from Minister Cele ? #BlueLightMafia
- Two ANC convicted criminals sit in the NMB Council and convince another fraud accused councillor to collaborate with their criminal effort to unseat a government. We are witnessing the equivalent of a political cash in transit heist!!
- BREAKING NEWS: DA wins majority of votes in Kouga Municipality. This is a positive endorsement of the DA governed municipality and an indicator that we can win Kouga again in the 2026 local elections. 💙🇿🇦💙🇿🇦💙🇿🇦💙🇿🇦💙
