The ANC in the OR Tambo region has turned to the police and the King Sabata Dalindyebo (KSD) Local Municipality in Mthatha and asked the two entities to provide security during BGMs, which often descend into chaos and fist fights. In a letter dated 6 June 2025, Vinny Tsitsa, the coordinator of the regional task team, said there is an ongoing and alarming issue involving private security personnel wielding heavy and dangerous firearms to intimidate their members during the meetings.…

This follows after disgruntled ANC members from Norman Mashabane, Vhembe, and Peter Mokaba have respectively written to the…

For too long, the Democratic Alliance (DA) has clung to a manufactured myth — that it alone is the benchmark of “clean governance” and fiscal prudence. This arrogant refrain, repeated in every blue pamphlet and press conference, collapses under the weight of actual evidence — especially when held against the City of Johannesburg’s documented audit and financial history. During the DA-led coalition’s reign in Johannesburg from 2016 onward, the city staggered through instability, misgovernance, and audit embarrassment. Not a single…

Fresh from the chaotic regional elective conference that exposed deep-rooted factional battles within the party, the Limpopo ANC Peter Mokaba’s call for unity will come to the test as it is set for a fierce battle with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in the Polokwane Ward 13 by-elections. Polokwane Ward 13 is where the EFF leader and Commander-in-Chief Julius Malema comes from and has been run by his party’s councillor following the 2021 local government elections. Former ANC MP Boy…

The Democratic Alliance’s sudden applause for the draft Equity Equivalent Investment Programmes (EEIPs) in broadband rollout is not a breakthrough. It is a betrayal — one more calculated pivot in their relentless campaign to hijack transformation while defending the economic status quo that keeps Black South Africans excluded. Let’s not be fooled by the DA’s newly scripted lines on “inclusive growth” and “empowerment objectives.” This is the same party that took the Employment Equity Act to court, trashed B-BBEE as…

City of Polokwane mayor John Mpe has been re-elected uncontested for the third term as the chairperson of the ANC Peter Mokaba region in Limpopo, in a conference that exposed deep factional divisions.

The tussle of power in the ANC Limpopo’s Peter Mokaba region turns its ugly head as factional battles for top leadership are at the centre of the protracted delays of the regional elective conference. Peter Mokaba was initially set to hold its regional conference in April at the Ranch Hotel. Since then, it has been embroiled in delays due to unresolved internal branch disputes, parallel branches leadership that occurred during the REC leadership nominations and election of delegates for the…

What set my blood ablaze? The 46 Afrikaners who boarded a jet to the United States—cloaked in the victimhood of persecution, paraded before the altar of Donald Trump’s twisted version of asylum. They cry “persecution.” Persecuted by whom? The Black majority reclaiming their dignity? The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa?

This is not migration. This is secession in motion. The Great White Land Grab: Leasehold Lies and Sabotaged Returns For over a century, many whites secured long-term leases from…
