THREAD: I am one of the biggest supporters of funding the SANDF. I want the SANDF to get more funding so I don't want to be misunderstood in what I am going to say. It's a fact: the SANDF is chronically underfunded. It's a crying shame that it is. BUT That the SANDF does not have sufficient funding is patently not up to Treasury. It is silly to suggest that the Treasury is the sole decider. There is a Budget Sub-Committee of Cabinet NOT chaired by the Finance Minister.

Thank you, South Africa for giving @Rise_Mzansi a new leaders a mandate to serve

RISE Mzansi is very proud to have concluded its first National and Provincial Elections and to be sending new leaders the National Assembly and the Gauteng Provincial Legislature.

A this stage, it looks like we are on track to send two representatives to Parliament and one representative to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature. We do not take this lightly. We have been given a mandate to serve the people of South Africa and advance our vision of
building a safe prosperous, equal and united South Africa.

It is worth mentioning that it also appears that outside of the MK Party – which is a split
from the ANC – we are leading the pack in terms of new parties.

I’ve tried to ignore the pandemic “in the spirit of Christmas”, but I really can’t. Two days ago, my uncle and his wife succumbed to COVID, on the same day. A friend is in quarantine along with a few close to her. I’m scared for her and many others. I think we have to be candid. “People” aren’t listening. By “people” I mean myself, many friends and family, and many well off people who think only rural, working class and poor people need to stop gathering. Yesterday a family member told me how they had 40 people at their place yesterday for merrymaking

So let me quickly thread about this issue. The Great (almost) PetroSA Robbery is also a story of a dizzying time, when Zuma was on a destructive bender. I had excellent sources for this one, people that were in the room.I had one problem, they were known to be friends with me. Image The story began when we caught wind of the fact that PetroSA wanted to buy Engen. Monde Maoto was the reporter on the story, a larger story involving Angola’s Sonangol and a refinery at Coega (in PE). Anyways, this PetroSA angle was appetising.
