@lwazilwapheshey Definitely unethical for an advocate to be speaking like this in the media about the parties in a case before court. She’s going back to court in July. Rule 61 of the Code of Conduct is clear.

If you have read anything about autocrats around the world, you can clearly hear them echo in Jacob Zuma’s press briefing today. He is daring the Independent Electoral Commission and issuing veiled threats of “we don’t want to be provoked”. Sowing seeds of chaos and unrest.

There’s just too much religiosity in government events and institutions now. From meetings to other events there’s now loud prayer at every government gathering, including long worship. How about silent prayer or meditation to accommodate everyone?

No one is asking if the GNU is risking the DA being swallowed by the ANC. People are not worried that the GNU will force the DA to support the nationalization of the Reserve Bank. The noise seems to be how the GNU will affect the ANC but not the DA Why is that?

Really interesting case in the UK Supreme Court tomorrow. Over R873m (about £37m) worth of silver meant for the SA Mint in 1942 was salvaged off the East Coast and taken to the UK. Now the SA government wants it back.

There’s nothing that Shandu is saying here. The National Assembly is made up 400 members. MK has 58 members. Even if all of them don’t show up, Parliament will go ahead without them as it needs only 201 MPs. If MK MPs don’t show up for 15 days or more they lose membership.

It’s scary how little younger people watch, listen or read the news. They also are information illiterate, so they can’t tell what’s credible and what’s not on platforms like TikTok. This podcast should be motivation for stronger civic education because it’s a crisis.

One of Prof Rensburg’s legacies is turning a middle-class Afrikaner institution into a black working class university that understands its students’ struggles. I know people who struggled at Wits and thrived at UJ simply because of the environment and culture.

The transport crisis in Cape Town is manufactured and was foreseen. It’s sad that so many thousands of poor, innocent people are left in a situation where they have to walk 30km from the CBD to areas such as Khayelitsha. Both the City of Cape Town and taxi owners are to blame

If you listen carefully to Zuma and the MK, at once they demand that the IEC postpone announcing results to deal with specific objections. AT THE SAME TIME they want the whole election to be redone. There’s a huge gap between both demands. The goal is chaos.
