Before I sign off on this topic. I do not know the journalist Alpha. Never met him. But I do know about the EFF's noxious abuse of journalists whose questions they find inconvenient. I'm not talking about their supporters (one should not lose sleep over strangers calling journalists, especially women, difebe, making references to their weight etc). I am talking about EFF leadership and their historic vitriol against journalists. Once the leadership enters the fray, they hunt like packs and swarm their target with abuse. Which includes labels like "most useless journalist." Because it came from a DP, it should not be left unchallenged. Alpha is lucky because he is a man. The insults would be worse if he were a woman.
Nonetheless, he needed to know that others - men and women - have experienced this. He must stand and do his job. Long after they jump ship, fight amongs themselves, implode or lose votes, he will still be standing with his microphone and pen! He needed to know that.

Thobela. Yes we have had many interviews over the years and there was no blood on the floor. Hence my response is to your DP, who is the author of the post to which I was responding. I am however mindful of the pattern displayed by your leadership- past and present. They get into street fights and insult people in your name. Your current DP just did and your previous one was EXCELLENT at it. The man who used to get you ice when you needed it, also did it. You are the leader. And it doesn't seem to bother you. Why is that...

What’s this obsession of comparing people’s “bags”
Focus on yourselves gents,respectfully.
If you come from a party which knows how to give it, including sometimes below the belt, then be prepared to take it from time to time.
Dear Redi, while we clearly disagree on the boundaries of media engagement & political platforms, there is no need for you to say I must remove my head from the back side. I respect the role of the media in holding leadership accountable. However, politicians also reserve the right to advocate for the focus of their own events. We can debate the ethics of journalism without resorting to personal attacks. Let’s keep the engagement professional. If a question was foolish and stupid....it is exactly that.....for you to say I must remove my head from the backside, I know exactly what you mean. I will defend you when you are called the B*tch word just like you do not have to make innuendo about my head on on the backside. You are stooping very low.

Dear Godrich. You are foolish and stupid. And know nothing about journalism or the responsibilities of a journalist. It is also not up to a politician to decide angle and timing. The right time and space to ask a question is when the person is right in front of you. A good journalist has no obligation to stick to the theme of YOUR occasion. He must ask what his audience deems to be in the public interest. "Sense of occasion?" Which journalism module taught you that? Get your head out of your leader's backside.
Dear Redi, there is a better way to ask a question to achieve what you want. Time and space and angle. That was amertuerish and he was pushing a narrative......he is embedded or trying to be famous as if he is brave. That was foolish and stupid. He could have done better from an objective angle with appreciation of sense of occassion. He will forever remain to be known for such stupidity.

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?"

I bought a Cape Town flat for R1.1m two years ago. I now owe R20k for property taxes to the City based on THEIR valuation. Monthly I pay:
R3,000 BC levies & fees
R2,500-R3,000 water, electricity, refuse etc.
On top of the bond and insurance, that’s almost R20k per month.
🤣
Colored people are now bashing Mr 'Cape Flats' for not winning any seats in the elections🤣🤣🤣
