Class, not race, is the true driver. Ethno-nationalist proponents are just exploiting the multi-layered crisis arising from austerity. If the SA gov rolled out a universal job guarantee and returned to investing in public infrastructure the wind would fall from their sails.

@niphomadondo I'm intrigued by the choice of the colour red... The Cape Independence group typically use blue.

The volatility of US trade policy is going to confirm the growing suspicion that it is a capricious and unreliable trading partner - prudent policy makers would surely plan to reduce any supply chain's reliance on US industry.

Working class people, regardless of race, are the one's who have borne the brunt of austerity, mismanagement, and yawning inequality. The extreme levels of violence in our society are felt everywhere and are surely a biproduct of our unresolved historical failures.

5. The ANC is surely only going to benefit from every aggressive act the US administration takes - imagine if this is the impetus for it to return with a majority. 6. The real resistance to tariffs, punitive economic measures, etc is surely going to be from organized business

@RoriMoseli He wrote the following regarding use admin rules: 'OMB can then direct on behalf of a President the amount, duration, and purpose of any apportioned funding to ensure against waste, fraud, and abuse and ensure consistency with the President’s agenda and applicable laws'

@Franscois15127 @BiancavanWyk16 @kimheller3 @HermanMashaba @jsteenhuisen @helenzille @CyrilRamaphosa @Julius_S_Malema I really like your pic by the way - my Grandfather had a dog almost exactly the same.

We will have to wait for @RomanCabanac and @Martin_ASFL to unpack the DA position on the Expropriation Act and NHI, because the public communication seems very fluid.

It must be so weird for President Ramaphosa - viewed externally as this radical set against property rights, while at home, he is perceived as quite possibly our most pro-business president. If there was one right he was set to defend, it is the right to private property.

When the Trump administration hurts South African businesses, workers, and households, it will be expressly the fault of white nationalists in SA. Driving down a cul-de-sac, the only way out is to reverse.

@TanveerJeewa Sorry, I don't think he is tall enough to see over the remote..

@LwaziSomya Decades overdue! Please don't stop spreading the message!
