Politicians seek power and act in their own interests and the interests of their party.

Leaders serve the people and act in the best interests of the country and all who live in it.

Vote for a leader.
Not a politician.

The ConCourt rejected Jacob Zuma’s claims he’d been denied his appeal rights after it sentenced him to 15 months in jail for contempt-but, in a ruling that enables the fmr Pres to be appointed to Parliament,the Electoral Court has effectively accepted them

I've said this before; one thing about Limpopo SAPS Comms teams, they will update about almost everything that happens in the day and overnight. The team sends detailed statements, voicenotes (not just in English) & photographs.

The communications team is excellent 👏🏾👏🏾.

An Electoral Court majority has found Jacob Zuma qualifies for appointment to the National Assembly because the 15-month prison term he received from the ConCourt for contempt could not be appealed, and therefore it did not qualify as a 'sentence'.

Former National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has no hope of receiving state funding for her corruption trial because, since 2021, government policy precludes corruption-accused officials from having their defence costs sponsored by taxpayers.

What I love about some of the newer political organisations in South Africa is that their messaging and objectives are built on hope, as opposed to the near constant division, hatred and fear rhetoric put out by many of the more established parties.
Hope takes more guts than fear

And here’s the court order that shows that Adv Kholeka Gcaleka was NOT ordered to pay impeached Public Prosecutor Busisiwe Mkhwebane’s urgent application costs in her personal capacity —->

Busisiwe Mkhwebane claims her former office has demanded she pay back money spent on litigation costs during her PP term – but the R5.1 million claim against her is for taxpayer funds spent on her unlawful luxury accommodation and personal legal costs.

Busisiwe Mkhwebane was removed as Public Protector following a parliamentary process that found her unfit to hold office, but Parliament's legal advisors declined to provide guidance on whether she should receive a R10mill gratuity after being impeached.
