We are on loan to the world, after that we go back to God. 🥺🕊🙏🏾
Singamathuna aphilayo! Hamba kahle Shenge.
Kunzima impela, kodwa ngiyakuqonda ukuthi emthandazweni omkhulu sinika uNkulunkulu amandla negunya lokuthi "mayenzeke intando Yakho emhlabeni njengasezulwini";
I am humbled & honoured by the trust & confidence placed in me by
#IFP
which in accepting the offer to chair
#SCOPA
has nominated me in this regard.
I recognise the enormity of the task at hand, and I'm equal to it with your support.
Thank-you all for all the well wishes!

My doctor has decided to discharge me from hospital after 15 days following a
#Covid19
infection & related complications; I’m home for the next 14 days!
Thank-you very much to YOU ALL for your enduring love & prayers.
Your Ubuntu made all the difference; I am because you are, 🙏🏾
#Day9
of hospitalisation due to
#COVID19
& some complications.
It’s been rough, still is rough but one’s faith is alive; trusting in my God, Ancestors, Nurses & Doctors during this time!
Mkhanyisi’s prayer this morning was beautiful🙏🏾
Thank-you all. We must and shall overcome!
This morning I received a call from Ms
#LindsayDentlinger
apologising for the events of Feb 18.
However, understanding apologies to be only meaningful when accompanied by a journey, we've agreed to meet next week.
A letter to
@eNCA
is being dispatched as well on their "statement"
Happy 66th Wedding Anniversary to Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi and Princess Irene Buthelezi (nee Mzila.)

A wonderful love story indeed💞
The

Mess is NOT in dispute...
Today's SCOPA Parliamentary meeting was for the

Board and Eskom Executives to account. Ms Busisiwe Mavuso is an Eskom Board Member and accordingly she must account for the Institution the ANC has deployed her to, Qha!
33 years old today!
I thank God for His enduring blessings and my Ancestors who abide with me!
Life is my greatest gift, and may I do justice to it & the strengths & opportunities that come with it & learn from the weaknesses & threats!

When the justice system indulges in theatrics it compromises it's own legitimacy, integrity and credibility.
This leg-chaining is one such theatric.

When we spoke briefly 3 weeks ago I quoted Ecclesiastes 10:4 "If a rulers anger rises against you do not leave your post; calmness can lay great offenses to rest."
That post is your convictions. Remain true to them!

The "Leader of Government Business" in KZN truly fancies himself Deputy Premier. This is not normal behavior, and it has no precedence in any other province.
Something is wholly wrong here, especially because this thing of his has been called out many-a-times before!
Back at work today after my hospitalisation & a long sick leave due to
#Covid19
; & whilst there are still some after effects I’m grappling with, it’s good to be up and about. Recovery is a process.
God has been kind to me, blessed to alive 🙏🏾❤️
#BackToWork
Once again, Thank-you!
Shortly after being sworn in as an MP in 2012 aged 24, one MP in shock & true ageist style said "This is the reason why we need national service in this country, we can't have kids in this Parliament."
I'm glad to see an increase in young MPs, and the ageist gone!

I'm honoured and humbled by the trust and confidence the

A day after being sworn-in as an MP in 2012, one MP asked me how old I was? I said 24, he was livid even saying SA needed national service because Parliament is not a place for kids.
The kind of pushback

face at work is sad & it must stop!
Ambassadors are expected to advance their government positions on matters...
As things stand, rightly or wrongly, South Africa is on the verge of amending section 25 of the Constitution.

13 days of

It has been tough. Despite the physical strain & pain; the mental anxiety on its own is burdensome.
Thanks to my doctors, family & friends for all they've done.
Doc has added 7 days more of isolation!
Happy Birthday Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi; My Leader, Mentor and Comrade-In-Arms.
I wish you well on your special day, and may God abide with you!
Shenge, Thank-you for believing in me, and for your guidance, lessons and yes the discipline!

@MzwaneleManyi
, you are entitled to your conspiracy insinuations, but for the record on a matter with potential legal consequences ones choice of words in a real time summary & resolution is important.
By the way for a "Spokesperson", where were your words here! 🤷🏾♂️
I didn't know that Honourable
@MkhulekoHlengwa
can speak so slowly and with so much hesitation.
I wonder why???
Honourable Hlengwa has the highest word count per second in the entire Parliament.
In 2019 SCOPA made 23 Recommendations to
#Eskom
regarding Medupi and Kusile Power Stations, to date the Board (Inclusive of Ms Mavuso) and Executives have only achieved success on 9 of the 23... that's what the Board must explain, Qha!

Another trip around the sun complete; and another journey of growth and life learning awaits.
I thank God for His grace, and My Ancestors for their protection, over the past 34 years.
Paying a special tribute today to my maternal Grandmother uMaMadlala for all she did!
It has been 11 years to the day that You were called to higher service! I won't say its been easy but through your teachings I manage!

1. The IFP led Nkandla Municipality through disaster relief funding is assisting this family.
2. Their housing application amongst many of the same area have been stuck with the ANC led KZN Provincial Gvt for 5 years.
3. Housing programs are mainly a Provincial Gvt competence.
While doing door to door today in Nkandla we came across this family of 08, living under terrible conditions. The ANCYL have committed to go all out and fundraise to build a conducive and a better home for this family. We will never rest while dogs of the rich eat better than us!

The integrity and consistency of process is key for elections to be deemed "free and fair".
August 23 was NOT submission day, it was the LAST day of submission.
Failing to plan is planning to fail; especially when you have your hands on the levers of power!
Process is process!
So the patriarchal and myopic forces are out again, instead of engaging the content of her argument, debate and contribution they choose to discuss what she was wearing

As I visited voting stations over the weekend I found it very strange that IEC officials were in the main people who have jobs.
It's time these IEC job opportunities be given to unemployed people, particularly youth...
