I grew up around the townships of Cape Town; Langa, Gugulethu, Nyanga and Khayelitsha. I knew hard-working black people. I watched them fill overcrowded trains in the mornings, sometimes literally hanging out of the doors, on their way to work. 2/

Guys Mzansi won a Gold Medal at the Dakar Youth Olympics Game last night. Watch how some countries will be pained and we will soon be reminded about the unemployment rate! No DNA, just RSA 🇿🇦

someone said ‘if you think the youth will do better in government, look at your src executives’ and it all just made sense

And now we’ve lost Tatjana. Yho Gayton is one of the worst things to happen to this country. Ffs.

Replying to @tumisole @GaytonMcK
It's a disgrace. I understand why she left. SSA was too restrictive on personal commercial deals while providing zero support

I agree with Queen B. Gayton McKenzie needs to resign. I refuse to accept that South Africa can spend R31 million on a World Cup delegation while our own swimmers must find R55,000 to represent the country. If this is his idea of prioritising sport, we've got a serious problem.

R31 million wasted on influencers and spectators and no money available for real athletes. @GaytonMcK @OnsBaizaNie

Two months ago, Swimming SA president, Alan Fritz, and CEO Shaun Adriaanse were provisionally suspended by the Aquatics Integrity Unit on charges of fraud and abuse of power. But for athletes like Tatjana Smith, this action comes far too late. #CarteBlanche @ermbates

Imagine being SA's greatest Olympian and still having to hire lawyers to get paid. Tatjana Smith didn't abandon South Africa. Swimming SA made leaving look reasonable.

I’ve been following her story closely and it’s disappointing how she was treated by the DSAC. Her decision is understandable, “Unpopular” sports and the arts are completely neglected in this country. We are losing serious talent

This is a canary in the coal mine moment. Our country has failed our greatest athlete. Where’s the Minister of Sport in all this?

Poor timing for this announcement, coming on the same day StatsSA reported that the official unemployment rate has risen to 33.7% in the third quarter
President @CyrilRamaphosa has determined salary increases for public office-bearers for the 2026/27 financial year, effective from 1 April 2026. tinyurl.com/yc2csc4u
