there’s no argument about her being ineffective, unsuitable, or ill equipped to lead joburg.
it’s just about how *he* feels, and *his* demands, and *his* party.
not about what’s good for the people of Joburg — it’s all about Herman.
utter disgrace.

Joburg has run out of chlorine. HTH. You can buy it at Checkers. That's right. The most basic ingredient for pool maintenance.
All Johannesburg municipal swimming pools will close by Monday after the City ran out of chlorine.

translation: “we are scared to work with the DA because they will deliver, swallow our support base, and not even leave scraps; so instead we will make the political choice and sacrifice joburg.”

HELEN. A WORLD CLASS MAYOR. Not some dude brimming with hate and empty promises.
What you've done is go against the Jhb electorate because of your own ego and pettiness. People weren't voting for the DA in JHB, they specifically voted for Helen to be mayor. Not sure whether you've noticed but the city is collapsing and she's the best hope for preventing this. Of course you don't care.

All the celebrated 'success' in the City of Tshwane is merely a fiction. Slight exaggerations from ActionSA. Residents continue to languish in power outages, water shortages and bad roads. What a brilliant marketing campaign!

Silence assourdissant dans les médias sur Haïti.
Bukele débarque avec 2000 soldats salvadoriens en une dizaine de jours : les gangs se planquent, les Haïtiens applaudissent.
Pourquoi ce silence ? Parce que ça prouve que la force décisive paie, et que ça contredit la doctrine du “camp du bien” selon laquelle seule l’approche multilatérale molle, procédurale et obsédée par les droits des criminels est légitime.
Bukele agit pendant que la communauté internationale discute. 🫡
Le mensonge de l’ONU vient de s’effondrer en une semaine sur Haïti.
Pendant 30 ans, l’ONU et la « communauté internationale » ont multiplié les résolutions, les missions (MINUSTAH, MSS, GSF), les rapports, les expertises et les mandats limités.
Résultat : les gangs contrôlent 80-90 % de Port-au-Prince, des milliers de morts par an, plus d’un million de déplacés, un État fantôme. La Force de Suppression des Gangs, autorisée par le Conseil de sécurité, a mis plus d’un an à déployer environ 1 500 hommes avec un impact dérisoire. Les gangs ont même réussi à tendre une embuscade à des techniciens salvadoriens sous mandat ONU.
Bukele arrive. En une dizaine de jours, il déploie plus de 2 000 soldats salvadoriens davantage que toute la force ONU, hors du carcan bureaucratique et des chaînes de commandement multilatérales. Pas de six mois de négociations, pas de rapports de 200 pages, pas de « respect des droits des gangs ». Juste des soldats, des blindés, des hélicoptères, et une volonté claire.
Et soudain, les gangs se cachent. Les habitants sortent dans la rue, crient, célèbrent. Le mot d’ordre est simple : « Se débloque le pays ». Les chefs de gangs appellent l’ONU pour « dialoguer » et demander la médiation. La panique s’installe chez ceux qui terrorisaient le pays depuis des années.
Ce n’est pas un miracle. C’est la démonstration que le problème n’a jamais été « trop complexe pour être résolu ». Le problème, c’était le dogme : que seule l’approche multilatérale molle, procédurale, obsédée par les « droits humains » des criminels, pouvait être légitime. Que la souveraineté, la force décisive et les résultats concrets étaient suspects.
Bukele a déjà prouvé chez lui qu’on pouvait casser les gangs. Il vient de le montrer en Haïti en une semaine, pendant que l’ONU en parlait depuis trois décennies. Les Haïtiens dans la rue l’ont compris plus vite que les experts de New York et de Genève.
La question n’est plus « comment faire ? ».
Elle est : combien de temps encore allons-nous prétendre que les processus internationaux qui perpétuent le chaos sont la seule solution possible ?
A bon entendeur.

Herman Mashaba has claimed that Nasiphi Moya is the greatest mayor this country has ever seen. This is not true. Helen Zille is the best mayor this country has ever had post 1994. Not even Herman Mashaba's track record as Mayor of COJ comes close.
Based on objective evidence such as international recognition, financial turnarounds, and long-term results, Helen Zille’s record in Cape Town (2006–2009) stands out as the strongest. She won the World Mayor Award in 2008 (unanimously), drove revenue collection toward 96%, delivered a major infrastructure and debt turnaround, and laid the foundation for Cape Town’s sustained better performance and clean audits relative to other metros.

Venezuela promised free food, free housing, free electricity, free cars, free EVERYTHING.
Daniel Di Martino grew up there and watched how it ended.
DI MARTINO: “I lived in a country that tried democratic socialism. And not just democratic socialism, democratic socialism under the best conditions, the LARGEST OIL RESERVES IN THE WORLD.”
“Despite rising oil prices, a democratically elected government nationalized the largest companies, imposed price controls, expanded the welfare state to give free food, housing, electricity, water, cars, microwaves, fridges.”
Then the bill for all that “free” stuff came due.
DI MARTINO: “The price of this was not just our political liberty; it was our wealth. I had to carry packs of cash in my pocket that I can’t fit to buy an empanada, okay? That’s what hyperinflation looks like.”
“Why? Because even with the largest oil reserves in the world, they ran out of money; they just printed it.”
CONTEXT: Venezuela’s own central bank admitted inflation hit 130,060% in 2018. The IMF had projected 1,370,000%. The economy was cut almost in half, and by the end of 2024, nearly 8,000,000 Venezuelans had fled the country.

And the fact that people voted DA *because* of their mayoral candidates. The arrogance!
And yet @ME_Beaumont the two candidates you are referring to, secured for the DA double the votes of ActionSA in Pretoria and Joburg. Be mature and think solutions for a change.

Even children in Haitian schools are chanting, “Long live Bukele!” 🇭🇹🇸🇻
Hope is growing among Haitians as President @nayibbukele mission supports the fight against gangs.
Haiti is facing a crisis that El Salvador once endured as well. El Salvador showed that it is possible to restore security, take back control, and give a nation hope again.
This is what SANDF is meant to be doing in the Cape Flats. We desperately need better leadership.
🇭🇹❤️🇸🇻 Este es el cariño del pueblo haitiano hacia los soldados salvadoreños enviados por el Presidente @nayibbukele para combatir a las pandillas y recuperar la seguridad en Haití.
El apoyo y la esperanza de muchos haitianos hacia nuestros soldados siguen creciendo.

Today marks 11yrs since the Bataclan massacre. Muslims slaughtered 130 and maimed 683. V
ictims were castrated, raped, disembowelled and tortured before execution. French authorities suppressed this fact for 'social cohesion'.
This image was taken moments before the attack.🇫🇷

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has repeatedly promised voters that his party would never enter a coalition with the ANC, arguing that the ruling party was responsible for many of South Africa’s problems.
