This reprehensible parliamentarian, @Mngxitama2, should know that @afriforum’s legal team is coming for him in a big way. I have just instructed our legal team to determine the most appropriate legal course of action and proceed accordingly.
These hateful statements about an Afrikaner farmer who was brutally tortured are no political game. We are prepared to commit every resource necessary to ensure that he is brought to book.

“Potholes will be there because we live in the situation of a climate change there are rains water the the streets get washed out” ANC SG Fikile Mbalula
“We are not talking something that you know is falling from the sky we talking about what government is going to do to help” @MbalulaFikile

In other words, with the anti corruption, clean up DA
😂😂 he’s so transparent
Panyaza Lesufi said this week that he doesn't want the ANC governing Johannesburg, Tshwane or Ekurhuleni in coalition with the ‘anti-transformation’ DA. His alternative – MK and EFF – will accelerate ANC decline and that of SA. WSM on BizNews.

Anecdotal: There's a scenario brewing where the ANC underperforms the polling
1) INTENSE anger on the JHB chats I'm in - extremely high suburban turnout loading
2) Disastrous final week (trash, water) with no message
3) ANC leadership, bizarrely, not in GP and closing in EC (!?)

Got it wrong. Apologies to @SABCNews and @BBCWorld. Though some of the reporting was conflating the two cases, it was the right thing to delete.

South African pilot Rowan Tooth was one of the relief pilots who helped regain control of flydubai FZ1073, after the co-pilot’s attack, and land it safely. The UAE has now awarded the crew the First Class Order of Zayed II for their actions. Proud moment for SA aviation.

WATCH: R6.9 trillion in projected debt. Growth of just 1.2%. A record tax burden.
The Finance Minister says SA has “emerged from the fiscal wilderness”. But taxpayers are still footing the bill. Where is the victory?
SA cannot tax or borrow its way to prosperity.

David Mahlobo has been a fixture in the national executive — he is now a deputy minister — since the Zuma tears and all through the Ramaphosa presidency, despite the findings of the High-Level Panel into the SSA and the Zondo Commission. news24.com/investigations/da…

Socioeconomic status was key indicator of voting in Israel's elections.
Among Jewish voters, in the lowest socio-economic cluster, Netanyahu's coalition won North Korean levels of support. In the top cluster, 81% voted for the Change Bloc.

נתניהו הפסיד. אני יודע לספור עד 120. 65 זה יותר מ-55. ככה עובדת הדמוקרטיה הישראלית. נקודה.
תמונת המציאות חייבת ללמד אותנו לקח אחד מהדהד: אין לנו עתיד כאן אם לא נפסיק לפחד. ואם לא נפסיק עם הגזענות. אסור לנו לקבל יותר את החלוקה הגזענית של נתניהו בין קולות יהודיים לקולות ערביים.
הקול של אזרח ישראלי שמצביע בטירה שווה בדיוק כמו הקול של אזרח ישראלי שמצביע בגבעת שמואל. לא פחות. לא בערך. בדיוק.
מי שמנסה למחוק את הקולות של האזרחים הערבים, נכנע לנתניהו ומוותר על ישראל.
ועכשיו בואו נדבר על ציונות.
בגוש של נתניהו יושבים 16 חברי כנסת ממפלגות חרדיות לא ציוניות, שמקדמות השתמטות המונית בזמן שהילדים שלנו נלחמים ונהרגים.
אם נתניהו מתעקש לספור רק רוב ציוני, שיגרע קודם כול מהגוש שלו את 16 חברי הכנסת של המפלגות החרדיות הלא־ציוניות.
הם לא יטיפו לנו על ציונות.
לגוש השינוי יש רוב ציוני: 49 מול 39.
לגוש השינוי יש רוב ישראלי: 65 מול 55.
יש לנו רוב. יש לנו אחריות. ויש לנו הזדמנות להקים ממשלת שינוי בשותפות עם אזרחי ישראל הערבים. ממשלה שתשרת את כל אזרחי ישראל.
עכשיו צריך אומץ. צריך מנהיגות. צריך להפסיק לפחד ולהתחיל לפעול.
ממשלת שינוי עכשיו!

If Israel were the "State of Tel Aviv", the "Change Bloc" would have won a landslide of 101 out of 120 seats.
The Likud would be the only coalition party to get past the electoral threshold. Ben-Gvir, Smotrich, Haredim—all out.
But Israel is not Tel Aviv.

Cyber breaches are inevitable. Silence is a choice
In this week's Resolve Insight, Sashni Pather argues that as ransomware attacks accelerate and breakout times shrink from hours to minutes, South African companies can no longer treat communication as an afterthought to cybersecurity.
A breach-response plan, agreed and rehearsed before anything happens, is what determines whether a company limits the damage or compounds it.

The DA wants to replace black economic empowerment with a policy that helps people according to need, not race. This is what voters think of it.

What a line:
"Most Israeli Jews now see the world the way Netanyahu has long seen it. That is Netanyahu’s great victory. But it is matched by his great loss: Much of the world now sees Israel the way Gazans see it." nytimes.com/2026/10/25/opini…
