R24 000 per head for catering on Ramaphosa’s presidential jet for every person on board. For one trip! While most South Africans live under the poverty line. What type of food do cadres eat that the rest of us don’t 😩

The ANC has NOTHING to do with the Springboks World Cup victory. Most of South Africa’s rugby successes are not as a result of our corrupt government but rather private sector investment into the sport, from schools to universities. The ANC must stop claiming wins. It’s gross!

The national transport minister blames the apartheid government for the collapse of rail transportation. Yet passenger rail journeys have gone down from 49.2 million in 2013 to 3.2 million in 2023 all under the ANC’s watch. The apartheid blame game has reached its expiry date.
