Truly truly shameful. Have we lost our humanity? Have we lost the ability to find that spark of recognition in our fellow human being? Do all we see is chasms and not the opportunity to build a bridge? This Irish team needs to introspect deeply.
The Speaker of the Johannesburg Council
@ColleenMakhub
just threw a councillor out of the chamber for violating a rule she made up in her head.
Joburg Council must be dissolved to stop this madness.

Today South Africans still committed to the values enshrined in our constitution will protest against state sanctioned antisemitism.
Is this really the legacy that you want to perpetuate
@CyrilRamaphosa
? Your new dawn has just birthed more hate, more corruption and more capture.
@SERI_RightsSA
This is the most self serving, hypocritical statement I've read in a long time.
You may have not litigated against this building, but how many just like it have you fought to allow people to remain living in the same conditions?
You have a big role in this situation.
@ME_Beaumont
ActionSA has always made it abundantly clear since Mayor Phalatse's ousting that there is no longer a coalition in Johannesburg. Now you're expecting the DA to act like there's an agreement in place again, when there isn't. Please be consistent.
While the doomsday coalition is focusing on the Joburg CBD, they've completely lost sight of the fact that hijacked buildings are an issue throughout the city. The ANC needs to account for the dismal PIE Act & JPC for their own failures.

4 months of agony: Our call can't wait. Pain, suffering, and abuse mark each day for hostages held by Hamas. It's time for their release. Humanity demands action.
#FreeTheHostages
#EndInjustice
So a party who were barely visible on the ground promoting new registrations this weekend is chirping the DA for not going to the wasteful council meeting today but all they did was ensure the doomsday coalition had quorum to continue using tiny parties to hold Joburg hostage
The Jhb DA is having withdrawal symptoms due to the lack of council. The following are required: an actress in a medusa headdress, extras in red overalls shouting "revolutionary", other actors shouting about Jan Van Riebeek and Apartheid & a body builder with high blood pressure
@Assita_Kanko
Thank you for standing up against hate. I really don't know anything about you before today but as a Jewish local government politician on the southern tip of Africa, who deals with prejudice too often, this is hugely appreciated

She insisted a DA Councillor sit amongst members of the ANC/EFF/PA Doomsday Coalition instead of with the DA Caucus, he refused (because there's no rule prescribing seating), so she removed him from council
A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true

This is how I'll be going to council to face Hamas apologists
@KrasnyySalyut
I think I'm getting old or something because I can't remember the DA ever winning Gauteng outright, nor screwing anything up. I googled it too and came up with nothing.
But the good news is 29 May is coming to change that

@CyrilRamaphosa
you can't find it in your heart to condemn this? You can't stand in solidarity with brutally murdered children or raped and captured women? Let me spell this out for you, YOU ARE A SPINELESS PIECE OF SHIT WHO LACKS THE MORAL FORTITUDE TO LEAD
@MbuyiseniNdlozi
You know for a guy with a doctorate, you seem unable to do basic research...
So let me guide you through this step by step.
Research the definition of genocide
Research the Palestinian population statistics for the last 5 decades.
Then understand if those 2 notions fit together
President
@CyrilRamaphosa
tell me why are the Israelis so bad at genocide? Maybe it's because that's not what they're intending or doing. But maybe you can ask your good friend Omar al-Bashir to educate us all on how to effectively commit genocide
@ThuliMadonsela3
Can you please sit down and stop embarrassing yourself by displaying your clear ignorance on this topic combined with a pathological bias
@CityofJoburgZA
Maybe you can ask GFIS to track it... Oh wait that equipment is still doing a Schrodinger's cat impersonation and GFIS is crippled, forget that idea
@MzwaneleManyi
Besides electoral fraud, what you've proposed here is a way of ensuring the ANC governs the Eastern Cape, seems like you're confused about who you represent but tbh anyone with level of political prostitution that you represent would be.
More South Africans have been murdered in the last 24 hours than Hamas claims (which are often high) have been killled in Gaza over the same period. Does the ANC really want to be pointing fingers right now?

#ICJ4Israel
If you were out on the streets (including the twitter streets) protesting Israel 3 days after the most disgusting, barbaric terrorist attack in recent history, one where babies were executed and women raped on mass. It's pretty obvious that you simply hate Jews.
#HamasTerrorist
Controversial post alert.
It's possible to be pro Palestinian without defending Hamas. It's possible to be pro Israel whilst admitting that sometimes Israel screws up.
War is terrible, it's ugly, it's violent. We don't need to make things worse by blindly supporting nonsense
So if North Korea were to launch 300+ projectiles at South Korea in a single attack, would the world expect South Korea not to respond? and if Pakistan did the same to India, same question.
So why is there a different standard when Israel is attacked? Asking for a friend...

Is it also not correct that your caucus leader in Johannesburg got up (in response to a motion on debt relief) and publicly insinuated that the Jews of today are imposters with no biblical heritage?

Actionsa's grouping has 59 seats (or 67 if the PA joins them, but they have indicated they won't at this stage). The DA has 71 seats. If we're arguing based on the width of the voter base, the DA's is far wider.
Challenge to the new speaker of Joburg. Please show us 150 people in Joburg who are aware they actually voted for your party in 2021.
Spoiler alert, this challenge is impossible.

There are 3 rows traditionally allocated to the executive and committee chairs, the remainder of seats are allocated to parties in blocks with government parties on one side of the room and opposition on the other. None of this is set down in any rules.

This isn't SOWETO in Joburg, this is in Ethekweni, which is Durban.
Durban has had a massive reduction in electricity usage over the last 2 years (equivalent to what they'd shed over 4 stages of loadshedding) due to a reduction in industry and functioning infrastructure 1/2

@PresidencyZA
If Hamas had succeeded with their stated aim on the 7th of October, would you have felt that South Africa had an obligation lay a genocide charge against them? Or do you not mind dead Jews?
@MYANC
well done, you've finally reached rock bottom. When a group of rapists, child kidnappers and murderers of babies, children, men, women and the elderly thank you for your support, you know you've nailed your moral demise.

Unfortunately her election is an indictment on the state of the ANC's education system and the literacy rates in South Africa. That's the only explanation for people confusing ANC and AIC on the ballot. It'll take a few years to fix our literacy crisis before AIC disappears

If a woman gets injured her burka or hijab might be damaged or go missing, she can't be seen in public like that so I assume the Hamas paramedics just leave her to maintain her modesty, they're really very concerned about human dignity
@JustXavierB
@MYANC
So this was a sticking point in Joburg but with the PA being the party in question with some members of the MPC insisting on zero tolerance of corruption, other members were OK to search for the line later.
My concern is if you start off by covering up, where do u draw the line?
@JustXavierB
I'd settle for coffee with you though, you undoubtedly underestimate your influence and the power of your voice. You definitely make the toxic environment that is X a much better space.
@JustXavierB
@MYANC
Based on my experiences, there are very very few (if any) uncorrupted ANC public representatives. Any coalition with any party involved in corruption would require the coalition to function under the threat of coalition dissolution if any party is outed for corruption.
In Tshwane ANC aligned staff are obstructing service delivery because the ANC is not in government.
In Joburg ANC aligned staff are obstructing service delivery because the ANC is in government.
#stopCadreDeployment
Right now Kfir Bibas, a 9 month old baby, is being held hostage by Hamas, most likely in a dungeon like subterranean prison. If you can justify this you are evil and evil should have no place in our society.
Every hostage needs to be returned to their family ASAP.

I am honestly shocked at the level of nativity shown in this post. It's sad truly.
I know you're capable, so please do real research and you'll understand that Palestine was a geographical name given to the area for a number of reasons and not nationalist name.
@MbalulaFikile
I know you struggle to differentiate between party and state but let me make this 100% clear to you. This belong to the Springboks and people of South Africa and their resilient spirit despite what you've done to them. This doesn't belong to

Wtf did I just read? Do you realise your post is delusional. Would you have asked the US to hand over aid to the Taliban to distribute during the war on terror? You really are embarrassing yourself

additionally it would only take a few brave individuals 2 work together and eliminate the threat.
The response here was the same as the playground stabbing last year. Every1 running away from an attacker who is almost non chalant in his approach, we need to step up for each other
How often do we see the mainstream media in South Africa actually critically probing government officials and their statements, instead of just regurgitating nonsense that they leave completely unchallenged. Let's be honest, government too often gets a free ride
Why?
Joburg is being let down by a self serving politicians, whether you live in a suburb, the CBD or a township, this government doesn't care about you and it's evident in the way it reports. I discuss the Marshaltown Fire in this speech

I think you're exaggerating her voter base, I don't think anyone, besides her closest friends and family, voted for her party on purpose. So it's not few, it's zero.
@Jon_M_Berger
The EFF councillor asked a question on the emblem on the tie, the emblem at the centre of an Israeli flag is a star of David, had he asked a question on the whole tie, I would've responded regarding the whole tie.
You're nitpicking here, it's actually a bit sad and pathetic
@Abramjee
What do you expect law enforcement to do to politicians when the minister of police thinks he is himself a policeman and leads operations chasing surfers and contaminates crime scenes? ANC politicians view themselves as above the law
