Would you vote for someone who says to their Constituents โ€œ O bua masepaโ€? what about โ€œ Jou ma se ..โ€ Or โ€œpotholes are caused by climate changeโ€? Mr โ€œI didnโ€™t click on submitโ€ Canโ€™t even pay staff salaries regularlyโ€ฆ How about โ€œ I go to hotels to showerโ€ or wait! โ€œmakabhatale ngento anayoโ€ Why would we vote for those women even? โ€ฆ theyโ€™re clearly there to serve for the pleasure of the menโ€ฆ 50/50 is so they can be employed and have proximity to power! Why are they not rising? These are just recent events . We can unpackโ€ฆ year on yearโ€ฆ sikhala, sincengaโ€ฆ Weโ€™ve seen enough. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ก

ActionSA didnโ€™t host rallies, that required the party to pop out millions of Rands. ActionSA didnโ€™t pay main stream media houses, to paint the party good. ActionSA didnโ€™t bribe People into voting for the party. South Africans that see a future in ActionSA voluntarily voted for the party, due to what the party has been offering. We told them that ActionSA will shock the masses, they thought we were joking.

Jessica Motaung resigns as Kaizer Chiefs Marketing and Commercial Director Kaizer Chiefs long-serving Marketing and Commercial Director Jessica Motaung has stepped down from her executive position at the Soweto-based football club. The development was reported on Thursday, November 5, with SABC Sport journalist Mazola Molefe confirming that Motaung had informed the broadcaster of her decision. โ€œJessica Motaung has confirmed to SABC Sport that she has stepped down from her role as Kaizer Chiefs Marketing Director but will stay on as a board member,โ€ Molefe reported. Motaung has been associated with Amakhosi since 1998. She was appointed Marketing Manager in 2003 before becoming Marketing and Commercial Director in 2007. Her departure from the day-to-day executive role marks a significant change at the club, where she has played a central role in developing its commercial brand, sponsorships and partnerships. Beyond Kaizer Chiefs, Motaung holds influential positions in African and international football administration. She serves as Deputy Chairperson of the African Clubs Association and was appointed to FIFA's Menโ€™s Football Stakeholders Committee in 2025. Kaizer Chiefs have yet to issue an official statement confirming the reported development. buzzlifenews.com

The Black middle class is problematic if we can be honest. They too seem to have voted around the preservation of their priviledge. Most of them never experienced apartheid. They have some unlearning to do. They will be reminded in these 5 years that they actually aren't White.

Nothing insane here. They knew the ANC cadres were responsible for the sabotage and voted accordingly

It appears some parties underestimated the anti-foreigner sentiment leading up to #LGE2026. Being tone deaf to peopleโ€™s feelings on the ground is suicidal in an election year. Iโ€™m not advocating for populism, but lend an ear to peopleโ€™s cries and try to understand their feelings and frustrations.

ANC takes all wards in Blouberg Municipality in Limpopo (ANC 22/22) This is the same community that still fetch water from the same well where donkeys and goats drink. Service delivery is nonexistent and they still vote for the same party. They deserve to suffer.

Matthews continued to push El-Sayed after he declined. How many times must a man say no before heโ€™s allowed to stop being nice? People of colour know the fatigue that comes with being expected to smile, be polite and know our place no matter how often our boundaries are ignored.

Fully agree, and I'll own it. I'm very much an ANC beneficiary. BEE made it possible for the state to pay for my studies. After I qualified, it opened the door to a managerial role. I am where I am today because of policies the ANC put in place. But make no mistake, that will not make me loyal to a party that today does not put South Africans first. Gratitude for what was done yesterday doesn't excuse what's being done today. The best way to honour what we were given is to hold the people in power to the same standard that got us here. That's why I'm voting with my head, not my history.
Donโ€™t think calling someone an ANC beneficiary is a โ€œgotchaโ€ moment or an insult. EVERY SOUTH AFRICAN is a beneficiary of the ANC. We are standing in lines today to vote because of them (and others). Reflect on that. THIS DOES NOT MEAN IM VOTING ANC!
