son of baldwin 🌹 One of the amazing things about getting older is realising you would never accept the bad treatment you were prepared to accept when you were younger now.
Also NB to realise that enforcing boundaries isn’t evidence that you can’t love.
It means you prioritise loving yourself.❤️

I don’t think I’ll ever forgive for the trauma it’s caused me in life. The constant rolling blackouts. Driving in the dark, sitting in the dark. Small business unable to keep it moving. It’s just too much now. And sadly I don’t think government understands the urgency here

RECAP! Media Freedom Festival

We had a remarkable engagement with our audience! Young journalist in the audience raising concerns of not being prepared for the digital takeover and blaming new age journalists for using digital platforms.

It is not helpful for our government to say it 'notes' the US terror alert and that it is 'standard communication to its citizens.' How the hell does that help SOUTH AFRICAN CITIZENS know whether OUR government thinks there is a credible terrorism threat?

Why not speak plainly??

Dear @GautemgANC, it was your Premier (Nomvula Mokonyane) that supported DoT and Sanral’s EToll scheme in the first place. You have no right to claim this as a political victory for the ANC. This was a victory by the people, for the people.

For those who ask: 1) I have confirmed with the US Embassy SA that the alert of a possible terrorist attack is not fake news but comes from them; 2) Disappointingly, sadly, they are not willing to answer even NONcompromising questions, to help the South African public.... 1/2

South Africa is so fragile, a wide scale terrorist attack would reshape our society instantly. I hope we never see such a day. But as Songezo Zibi said, 'hope is not a plan'.

The question is will YOU and the Democratic Alliance unite behind Executive Mayor Mpho Phalatse to do what she thinks is needed to reconstitute a workable government or will you take a authoritative approach that will cause her to be ousted again by next week?

Lukhona Mnguni T Presidency | South Africa 🇿🇦 Was saying they other day suggestions of a media black out make sense, least till he considers making true on commitments, he made unprovoked for quarterly engagements. Can’t call himself a true democrat when he refuses to account via media.

Today I scooped by 5th Vodacom Journalist of the Year award. It is my 3rd win in the Opinion category. I am honored to be recognized for my work because in recent times, journalism is grueling, especially in KZN.
