Kgante didn't Mme Sophie Mokoena retire?
I remember a whole press release and a fanfare of well wishes.
What was that about if she is still running around with a mic (LITERALLY) chasing policians?
Is the SABC saying there is nobody in the news department to match her exceptionalism?
The longer this goes, there more it taints what would have been a clean exit with a legacy that would be lauded for years to come.
Sorry but watching this clip I just had a Biden 2024 Moment flashback. IYKYK.
The EFF Officials, led by President and Commander-in-Chief @Julius_S_Malema, held the #EFFPresser today at the Results Operations Centre, following the 2026 Local Government Elections.
We have come too far to mistake a setback for the end of our story. This is a moment to regroup, recalibrate and draw strength from our struggles as we prepare to fight another day.
Our journey continues, and the struggle for economic freedom remains unwavering.

Useless because you don't like this particular question? Why are you guys so crass? Why are insults your default reaction? You don't like his question. Fine. How do you move from that to "useless journalist?"

There was a recount in W33 (Soshanguve A, B, F, G, M). The recount sees the ANC pick up another ward as Action SA just loses out. The ANC ward councillor will be delighted. However, this means that Eugene Modise, the MMC for Finance loses his seat, the one and only ANC PR seat.

Hey @ScuderiaFerrari, based on p.12 of your Code of Conduct, how does Vasseur and @Charles_Leclerc sharing an executive board at a €10B investment fund guarantee the "impartiality of decisions"? Does compliance ignore this conflict or do your rules not apply to the golden boy?

Tshwane MMC for Roads Tlangi Mogale and Tshwane MMC for Human Settlements Aaron Maluleka have lost their seats in the Tshwane council. The ANC won only one PR seat and despite them coming in 2nd and 3rd on the list they did not get back in.

Ok. Can we then agree that your position is not based on “democratic principles” but your personal feelings?
Cause if you argue that denying Helen Zille the mayoral chains violates the substantive intent of our democracy, then you should argue the same for any party. Cause democratic principles must be consistent regardless of “personal feelings”. Am I wrong?

On MK. They took a big step backwards in this election. Definitely vulnerable given these results and the org chaos we've seen. MK% compared to 2024:
KZN 38% (-14)
GP 8% (-7)
MP 11% (-9)
Warning signs.

[WATCH] “We are accepting the situation as it. Our people did not vote for us in their numbers,” said the EFF’s Omphile Maptwe.
The EFF is currently on 6% nationally. It’s also on 6% in Tshwane, Johannesburg and Ekurhuleni.
91% voting districts have been counted. @JusstAlpha

There we have it. Afriforum is set to receive about R18 million from the US State Department to “document hateful rhetoric and violent acts” against Afrikaners and other minority populations in the country, according to a @propublica investigation.
Here's a story from propublica on potential funding to Afriforum from the U.S. State Dept.
