This is a raw defense of Jacob Zuma, built on the idea that he was the only leader who truly acted for the poor. The speaker argues that while Zuma's critics obsess over the multi-million rand Nkandla scandal, they ignore his life-and-death achievements. The core example given is his rapid rollout of antiretroviral drugs to combat HIV, reversing the deadly denialism of the previous administration. In this view, Zuma is a flawed but decisive leader who saved countless lives when others turned their backs.

But let's not pretend this is the whole story. The speaker dismisses the "nine wasted years" and corruption allegations, framing them as a smear campaign by a hostile, "white-owned" media. To counter the narrative of Nkandla's excess, they point to the colossal, and largely unaccounted for, 600 billion Rand that vanished during the COVID pandemic under the current government. It's a classic political tactic: deflecting from one scandal by highlighting an even bigger one under your opponents, arguing that the criticism of Zuma is selective and racially biased.

The message ends by making a sharp distinction between Zuma the man and the MK party, which it paints as a sophisticated collective of brilliant minds. This is the emotional plea: this isn't about blindly following one man, but about choosing a side. The speaker has chosen to stand with the poor, and they frame the current fear of the MK party by the ruling alliance as proof that they are the real threat to a system that, in their view, has abandoned the people who need help the most.

The South African Human Rights Commission will have to spend over R1.2 million of taxpayers money to pay charges after they failed in a bid to urgently interdict March and March and Operation Dudula from barring illegal foreigners from accessing public healthcare facilities.

In Mpumalanga, a system that prizes political loyalty over skill is failing its people. Our roads are crumbling, cutting off communities from schools, clinics, and economic opportunities. This isn't just bad luck; it's the direct result of a patronage system where multi-million rand tenders are awarded to connected contractors who often do shoddy work or, in some cases, don't deliver at all . The human cost is immense: children struggle to reach school, ambulances can't get through, and local businesses are suffocated.

The evidence of this rot is now undeniable. A senior official in the Department of Public Works was just dismissed for his role in a massive PPE scandal, with assets worth R52.6 million seized by the state. This points to a deeper crisis where factional loyalty has replaced expertise. The tragedy is that the talent and knowledge to fix this exist, but capable minds are deliberately sidelined in favor of political followers, leaving the province's potential untapped and its people in a state of quiet despair.

The rot in our police force didn't just happen by accident. According to General Mkhwanazi, the infection began in 2007 during the brutal political war between Presidents Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma. When Mbeki fired Zuma, it was like a starting pistol. Cops stopped being cops and started calling each other "comrade," picking sides in a political fight that was none of their business. This was the moment the thin blue line began to blur, with some even joining breakaway parties like COPE, turning a law enforcement body into a political playground.

And let's talk about what that political war did to the people on the ground. When Zuma was axed as Deputy President, the officers assigned to protect him were put in an impossible position. They were squeezed from all sides, pressured and intimidated, forced to navigate a minefield of loyalties. It’s a disgusting situation when the very people sworn to protect become pawns in a power game, their professional duty crushed by political intimidation. This is the human cost the powerful never see.

Here's the tragic irony that should make everyone furious. Mkhwanazi says these politicized cops were so sure Thabo Mbeki would win the party leadership that they literally set up celebration tents in Polokwane. They bet everything on the wrong horse. When Jacob Zuma emerged victorious, the shockwave tore through the police service. That was the moment the fracture became permanent, creating the "us vs. them" chaos we still see today. It wasn't a slide into decay; it was a deliberate push.

A heated debate is emerging over European laws designed to combat illegal wildlife trafficking, with critics arguing they are having a devastating unintended consequence: suffocating African cultural heritage. The core of the issue involves strict regulations on the trade of items like ivory and animal skins, which are central to many traditional ceremonies, artefacts, and artistic practices. From this perspective, these well-intentioned laws are seen as a blunt instrument that disrespects centuries of tradition, effectively criminalising cultural expression and stripping communities of their right to preserve their own history and identity.

On the other side, conservation groups and lawmakers defend these regulations as essential, non-negotiable tools for protecting endangered species from poaching and extinction. They argue that the illegal wildlife trade is a brutal, multi-billion dollar industry that thrives on loopholes, and that uniform international laws are the only proven method to disrupt it. The standoff ultimately highlights a deeper, more uncomfortable question of global power: who gets to decide the balance between protecting animal life and protecting a way of human life, especially when the decision-makers are often far removed from the cultures most affected.

Former President Thabo Mbeki states that the issues in South Africa were caused by its own citizens and cannot be attributed to those who migrated there. "When I see things like Operation Dudula, it hurts. We can't position ourselves as though we're enemies of other Africans, it's not right,"

Police Commissioner Reveals PA Deputy Kenny Kunene Visited Murder Accused Molefe’s Home Twice

National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola told Parliament’s ad hoc committee that Patriotic Alliance deputy president Kenny Kunene visited the house of murder accused Katiso “KT” Molefe on two separate occasions. One visit occurred during a police operation, while the other saw him turned away at the gate.

During the first visit, Kunene was reportedly inside Molefe’s residence when police were present. On the second occasion, he was accompanied by a journalist from his online publication and claimed to be conducting an interview with Molefe, who faces multiple murder charges, including that of DJ Sumbody and two bodyguards.

Kunene was suspended by the PA pending investigation, resigned from his Johannesburg council position, and stepped down as Transport MMC. A law firm later cleared him of wrongdoing in September 2025, leading to his reinstatement as a councillor, though questions remain over his proximity to Molefe.

The revelations have drawn political attention, with opposition leaders criticising the PA’s credibility. Kunene maintains he had no involvement in Molefe’s alleged criminal activities and claims his visits were journalistic, while also calling out EFF leader Julius Malema for previous accusations.

The law isn't meant to be a free-for-all. For the police to get a warrant to search any property, including your first house or your tenth mansion, they need to convince a judge they have a good reason. They need specific, reasonable grounds to believe that evidence related to a crime will be found in that specific place. Finding a crime at one mansion doesn't automatically give them the legal green light to turn all your other properties upside down. The system is designed in theory to prevent exactly that kind of fishing expedition against any citizen.

Now, to the billion-dollar question: why does it often seem like this doesn't happen to the well-connected? You're right to be furious and ask if it depends on who you are. The bitter truth is, while the legal standard is clear, its application is often muddy. Investigating powerful figures with deep pockets and political ties is a nightmare. They can deploy lawyers who tie everything up in court for years, and there's often a glaring lack of political will to push these uncomfortable probes forward. It creates a two-tiered system where the connected can shield their assets while ordinary people feel the full force of the law.

So, where does that leave us? It leaves us with the gut-wrenching suspicion you voiced that the system itself might be compromised. When you see only one house raided in a massive scandal, it’s not necessarily that the law itself is wrong, but that the machinery enforcing it is broken, under-resourced, or possibly even corrupted. It feeds the devastating perception that justice is for sale. The law, umthetho, might be written in black and white, but its enforcement too often plays out in shades of grey that protect the powerful and crush the hope of everyone else.
