after watching this, i completely understand why kanye said he’s been uninspired since lauryn hill retired
When Ms. lauryn hill asked, “is it okay if i do a lil sum?” and proceeded to go absolutely crazy.

South Africa was warned 💔 Shahid Bolsen: "The US is seeking to pursue regime change in South Africa by means of a soft coup by out-funding the ANC and providing funding & technical assistance to the Democratic Alliance"

The ANC should blame itself for failing to announce Mayoral Candidates before elections. I am convinced it would have made a huge difference. Not knowing who is the mayoral candidate before elections was a mistake and an unfair decision to people like Tlangi who worked hard. #Elections2026 Tshwane Ethekwini MKP

🧵Remember this moment from CNN's town hall with Texas Democrat James Talarico? He told @ErinBurnett and a Texas voter that, at one point when he was a public school teacher, he had 45 students in a classroom. Burnett gushed he was doing "God's work"...

republicans politicians dropping their acts and finally talking like the ivy league-educated people they are after the blue tsunami is sooooo funny to me lmao
Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore: "Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

We simply did not show up
1/ JOHANNESBURG demographic breakdown - Turnout Differential Majority Black VDs 45% (+8) Majority Coloured VDs 56% (+8) Majority White VDs 62% (+9) A +17 differential, similar to last time. One of the crucial questions for this election was whether it would grow - didn't

Dr. Nasiphi was not going to win outright in Tshwane. She's not a Mayor bc ASA won majority last LGE. If anything, you guys showed up for her. In 2021, I don't even think ASA had 10% in Tshwane.
We failed Dr. Nasiphi 💔😭

They barely ran a campaign. I can see why people theorise that they're purposely scaling down.
I might be wrong but the ANC ran a poor campaign.

“The old South Africa is gone” yet 1994 kicked off as a coalition. This is what happens when you don’t read.

They’re just in season 2. South Africa also needs to make its season 1 mistakes.

DA did not get much votes! They maintained their strongholds and their white votes remained unshaken against the 543 shaken black political parties who ensured votes are split amongst all of them. You guys really have potential because you are committed and passionate about building a South Africa that works for its people, but like I have said, it is misguided and misinformed! Losing the societal moral fibre, making insults amongst ourselves a normalcy, not reading and investing on our ideological resolve and appreciating that the beneficiaries of white privilege were never gonna go down without a fight! They have found a strategy, it is to disintegrate the black voice and power, divide them whilst their base remains unshaken. My organisation, is partly to blame because we made mistakes that we shouldn’t have. We have conceded to these shortcomings even in our manifesto and I have seen some of the renewal efforts by the ANC being implemented through the establishment of Madlanga commission by president Ramaphosa, through the recovery of close to 16billion by the SIU through interventions and guidance by the ANC president. This only meant that all of us as progressives needed to reflect on how we take our country forward and do right by the people. But ke….we soldier on!
We must not accept these election results without demanding transparency and accountability. DA cannot get this much support.

We respect and uphold our own laws and constitutional principles because without them, there would be no country to live in. We also appreciate the deeper message that South Africans communicate through the ballot and must draw lessons from them and work towards doing better. Most importantly we have got to allow the people to get a better appreciation of whether their stunts mean progress for for the country or the lack there of? Whether voting the ANC out automatically translates into strengthened, empowered, serviced communities or that , it simply means consolidated and solidified rule by the economic powerful elite of this country? And once, we are able to answer that question fellow patriots, we will truly advance the real struggle⚫️🟢🟡🇿🇦
I really appreciate the ANC’s respect for our democracy. Their numbers have been declining and they've accepted that South Africans are free to choose who they want to vote for. No tantrums or conspiracy theories.

Ndlozi saying that he didn’t vote because the black vote is divided is interesting because he didn’t seem to think that when he dawned the red uniform.
