Ordinarily, the DA, Afriforum and Solidarity would go to court to challenge the constitutionality of the law they don't agree with. As for BELA, they are change tactics - they march. They have done everything except going to court. Why? Here's why: 1. That's because the section, which is the one dealing with the language policy, is litigation-proof - i.e. there won't be successful litigation, and they know it!
- their lawyers must've told them that chances of winning are ZERO...

How Prof Phakeng "caused complete havoc at ICT": Let me count the ways for an 'ill-informed' @RenaldoGouws

🧵... Image 1. 1st things 1st:
- Renaldo Gouws, @RenaldoGouws likes to talk from the pool of his ignorance - it seems that it's a sport for him to talk about things he has ZERO knowledge of, thereby embarrassing himself:
I want to thoroughly deal with him for good...

Dear @MmusiMaimane and @ME_Beaumont,

I hope you enjoyed your Sunday, gentlemen.

Here's a Sunday 🧵 for you!

🧵... 1. I am enjoying my little hiatus on these streets. But, from time to time, I'll come in to help where help is needed - I shall go back to my little hiatus... Image

That's not how things work!

Let's help here

🧵... 1. You're using the wrong section:
- the section you are missing here specifically deals with COMPOSITION - ie how many members should compose the National Assembly (NA)
- you see, you are confusing COMPOSITION and ATTENDANCE...

I know some citizens don't like to read and wouldn't have the stamina to listen to those leaked audios. We will gladly do it for the public.

Here's a 🧵nyana... I'm putting this here for now:
- NSFAS Board refused to take media quiries. Why? Isn't NSFAS funded through taxpayers' money?
- you will see why I think was the reason behind their refusal... Image

The lawyers of Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma from Nkandla, and the JGF somlomo, are thoroughly misleading the old man, qwaba!

I was standing on a queue at Dischem when the guy behind me commented on my vasket and saud he can see I'm trying to lead a healthy lifestyle. And told me how he's been trying to do so, especially now that he's been diagnosed with hypertension... I asked how old he is, he was in his 40s🙄😳. I was like, wow, but I'm the same age as you 😂🏃‍♂️. Of course, that started a nice conversation about how to have the energy of a 30 year old😂😂...

I was once invited to be the main speaker in this lively Young Men's Guild Conference (Udodana). What a conference.

One of my talks was entitled:
- A canary in the coal mine!

Tsii, one of my best talks!

I'll share one important aspect! 1. During the earlier days of mining, before the advent of detector with digital readings, miners would carry a caged canary into the mine - they used the bird to test for the presence of toxic gases. The bird would be singing throughout... Image

Here's why I think this can be a launching pad using this case:

🧵... 1. In Natal Joint Municipal Pension Fund v Endumeni Municipality 2012 (4) SA 593 (SCA), Wallis WJD brings the following points on interpretation, which we can apply on s34(1)(b) of PRECCA:

Words and expressions used in a statute must also be interpreted in the light of their context. Not only that, also important are:
- the statute itself
- its apparent scope and purpose

Are you following me on the above? Take the above principle and apply to the expression 'offence of theft...involving an amount of R100 000' in s34(1)(b) of PRECCA

- are you able to connect the dots? In other words, read the expression within the context of the Act...

Back in 2011, we organized a workshop on Bioinformatics. We invited top top Bioinformaticians from the JCVI. And it was a success!
During the workshop, i kept asking questions of clarity on things i was not sure of. I would ask, e.g. about 'e-values'... I ended up being the main attendee they expect questions from - for the duration of the week-long workshop🙈. So, I developed relationships with those presenters. They would always cone to my workstation to engage what I do and what are my interests...

HE IS NOT! This is why:

Dear President Ramaphosa,
- whatever you plan to do with that report, but please don't reviwe it until i finish y article.

This is what I want to argue:
- that the 'offence of theft' in s34(1)(b) should NEVER be separated from its context... Of course, few would expect @BantuHolomisa, @ZungulaVuyo et al to think that deep about contexts.
- i will go through your submission again to lift out what i feel your advisors might have failed on!

Good morning mkhuluwa @MzwaneleManyi

I'm back🔥

I'll be going through submissions by @ZungulaVuyo no Njengele @BantuHolomisa

Zizokhala🔥🔥🙈 Reasons that PRECCA (Act 12 of 2004) was created were:
- to reinforce country’s fight against corruption and
- to abide by the 2003 UN Convention Against Corruption, which SA ratified by both houses in 2004...

I have a strong feeling that there are people Cyril trust to advise him, and some might be sabotaging him. At some point, he needs to be independent and deoendcon his own decision-making. Of course he can listen to advisors, but make the last decision... That NEC is full of hyenas who are determined on self-preservation. They will do anything to preserve themselves, including misleading him. Trusting anyone there is at his own risk...

The ANC is INCAPABLE of self-renewal: Let me count the ways!

This is sad but let me say it:
- the Talibans are consolidated their power.
- they know once they become serious kingmakers, then Cyril will desperately need them for a 2nd term
- once that happens, then they bargain with CR22
Here's the sad part: In their bargaining to deliver the 2nd term, they will then introduce the 'Zuma factor'. What idms the 'Zuma factor'?
- something similar to that by TM which was later reviewed by the EFF. In other words, they might want Cyril to restore something similar... ImageImageImageImage
