scam: driver does drop-off, takes a photo outside our door, then puts the food back in his bike and drives off with it. When we SMS to ask him where the food is, he sends the photo from outside our door -- but doesn't know Big Brother was watching. Bastard.
The ANC says it doesn’t want to “humiliate”

through a recall. How can you “humiliate” someone who has already slept with his friends’ daughters, violated his oath of office, facilitated the sale of our sovereignty and turned a blind eye to the theft of billions?

Fuck off, you paranoid idiot. I was nowhere near ORT for your little welcome home party on Saturday. And anyone who knows me knows the Hyatt is my office. See a doctor. See a debt counselor. Get help. You’re not worth following.
Today would have been Jackson Mthembu’s 63rd birthday. I can’t help but wonder what the champion of “massifying communication” - particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic - would have had to say about the

saga. His candour and integrity are sorely missed.
I’m not a troll. I’m someone who objects to the way the DA vilifies our leaders when they’re alive and tries to appropriate them when they’re dead. Find your own heroes. And stay in your lane.
@chrisvick3
I did, old timer. I shouldn’t respond to trolls, but I respect you & didn’t think you’d stoop that low. I do hope I have brought some sparkle into what appears to have been quite a dull evening your side. Hope you sleep with a deep sense of satisfaction.
The ANC flagged the issue of spies in the newsroom and

dirty tricks back in 1997, in its media submission to the TRC. It’s worth revisiting, 21 years later. Here’s a link:

Zuma's last few days in office are turning out to be as undignified and self-serving as his last few years as President. We should celebrate his demise when it eventually happens, and ensure we never end up in such a sorry mess again.

Meanwhile, the people who were paid millions to provide that information were building hair salons for the health minister’s kids. It’s weaves before lives, I guess. How do they sleep at night?

@ENCA
tries to build an international news show during peak time, when we have so many domestic issues that need attention. Jane Dutton’s show at 20h is a waste of space. Global networks have access to better coverage and analysts, and do it so much better.
Classic. You recall your president because of all the damage he’s causing to the movement and the country - and then kak on the journalists, whistleblowers and civil society activists who exposed just how rotten he is.

Cheers, big guy. You taught me radio. We’re going to miss you, your insight, your countless instagram breakfasts, your podcasts, your books and your razor-sharp tweets. Rest in power.
This guy is a political idiot. People aren’t “debating” the DA’s flag, they’re denouncing it. Decrying it.
Pretending angry clicks mean positive votes is just stupid.
DA leader John Steenhuisen said the party's controversial television advert depicting a burning flag was meant to be uncomfortable and that he is happy people are debating it. |

Bonginkosi Madikizela, the DA’s Leader in the Western Cape is Mam’Winnie’s nephew. It’s not a well-known fact because he does not trumpet it from the rooftops in order to trade on his political & family connections to build his political career

People are so desperate for visible leadership on the energy crisis that they even want to bring back teleprompted one-way “family meetings”. We should insist on a “face the nation” media conference and a more responsive and accountable

Apologies for misinterpreting your tweet to 72 000 followers as anything more than a humble submission to the universe. Now that you’ve clarified (on behalf of the late Ma’m Winnie) that she didn’t hate the DA, maybe you can clarify on behalf of the DA why the DA hated Winnie?
@chrisvick3
If you consider a tweet “trumpeting” then you need to sharpen those PR skills, Vick. I was responding to a tweet alleging Mam’Winnie hated the DA. Read the whole thread.
Jessie Duarte has lost her battle against cancer. She was rough, she was tough, but more than anything she was a deeply committed activist for change. Condolences to the Duarte and Dangor families.

Really sad to read that Thabo Masebe passed away yesterday. He was one of the last of a generation of activists who combined political acumen with communication skills, underpinned by organizational loyalty and discipline. A role model for public communicators.
#RIPThaboMasebe
So the President went to Kyiv without the Presidential Protection Service because they got their paperwork wrong. The President acknowledges during his media briefing that a missile was fired during their stay. Yet the Presidency says he was safe. Oh, and no missile was fired. 🤦🏽♂️
I stopped eating polony when I interviewed a guy who kept animal foetuses in jars. He got his supply from abattoirs, where (he said) they usually just chuck pregnant cows’ foetuses into the polony mix after slaughtering. Said that’s what makes French so pink... very enterprising.

Love how Twitter shapeshifts from being a platform for experts in pandemics to being home for (the same) experts on constitutional law, vaccine efficiency, horse medicine, parliamentary security systems, pyrotechnics and the efficiency of sprinkler systems. We are blessed.
