It's quite straightforward actually: we either arrest and charge people for not wearing masks in public or we don't. If we do, politicians certainly can't be exempted. Simple.

Deputy Chief Justice Zondo, I doubt that you read tweets, but I would like to say to you - and I am quite sure millions of South Africans share this sentiment - that I am immensely proud of you! We value you. You represent the best of values and integrity.

Dispel this notion of "voting with the Opposition". We must vote against state capture, massive looting and corruption. Vote for change...

Interested in reports that Lindiwe Sisulu is likely to be Cyril's pick for Dep Pres. I wonder what David Mabuza thinks about that. Didn't he switch sides from NDZ to Cyril at the ANC conference, to get a better crack at the job, knowing that NDZ was unlikely to win election 2019?

Carl, let's rather talk about the money you took from people with your story about having bone marrow cancer. A Deputy Minister even went to the funeral of your mother, only to discover that she was still alive.

Hmmm so this young chap, Mr. Fearfokkol 🙄, @MbalulaFikile, has gone & blocked me. He seems to fear much, especially engagement about his blatant opportunism, careerism & lack of repect for his seniors, such as the SG of the ANC, comrade @Magashule_Ace. Talk about real cowardice!

Of R220 million allocated to the Estina Dairy Project, only R2.45 million goes to the project. R217 million to the Guptas and their friends! Money stolen from poor people. Simply outrageous! No mercy on ANYONE who steals money intended for the poor!

Minister Pravin Gordhan will do what most of society wants him to do: root out corruption and looting in our state owned companies. The looters and corrupt will make a noise. Very interesting who is making most noise. Probably the most corrupt.

The doorman at the Hilton Hotel in Durban. Your first experience of a hotel is before you walk in. This doorman has been welcoming guests for 21 years!

Apology accepted. As far as I am concerned, the matter is now closed, apart from the determination of costs and damages, and we can move on.

If a political party bans certain media representatives from attending their events, surely the rest of the media should stand in solidarity and also not attend the events? An injury to one is an injury to all...

When you make a statement like this, you need to explain why you are not making a statement on a number of poor performing Ministers. Are you satisfied with your own performance when you were a Minister?

Let's just say it, unapologetically, and be frank about it - although we should continue to strive for unity in the ANC - a different outcome at NASREC would have been disastrous for our country.
