1619991874017841152 | Does anyone actually want to FIX Joburg, or do they just want to be in charge? | 495 |
1603697494705467392 | Maybe one day someone will explain why it was so hard for the ANC to do the right thing. Whether to maintain sewage plants & roads, keep towns clean, help people with access to telecoms and transport, keep people safe with a decent police. Why do the opposite of everything good? | 346 |
1616365903972818947 | The most dangerous man in this country needs to be removed from Government, NOW: https://t.co/chjNl1pYrI | 346 |
1601128829548134402 | If I were big business, I'd be demanding a meeting with Pravin, Gwede, Cele and De Ruyter, in the same room, to get this shit sorted out. This weekend. Still no fucking sense of crisis here. Find a spine, people! @businessforsa @BLSA_Official @BusinessUnitySA | 292 |
1623254909209710592 | Grim open letter to @CyrilRamaphosa from the consumer goods council on power crisis: "If this continues, we will not be able to guarantee stable supplies of food, meds & other essential goods. The govt needs to understand this, rather than believe we can maintain biz as usual" | 235 |
1630456253334843399 | Hello again, @JHBWater. More than 24 hours later and this is still gushing. I hate to imagine how many tens of thousands of litres your inaction has seen wasted. @CityofJoburgZA - any plan to fix this? The address, again, is 43 Lurgan rd Parkview. Many calls have been logged. https://t.co/oDvwBSYgK5 | 232 |
1600883328433127426 | Actually, not just pathetic. You are a deceitful bully, @GwedeMantashe1. YOUR party shoe-horned in the corruption now eating Eskom up from inside. You failed to fast-track the REIPP process, you impeded private sector generation. And WE pay for it - not you. | 225 |
1615009061342437376 | Also, when on earth are you going to have a proper media Q and A session, @CyrilRamaphosa ?! Are we still a democracy? | 217 |
1613455807441670145 | So now that that ridiculous brthday party is over, can we see some evidence of your other day job, @CyrilRamaphosa ? You know, the one where you're President, and here to address the many crises we face, but, principally, the one called Eskom? | 211 |
1618884764186083329 | Let's be clear: the Patriotic Alliance - a party of venal backstabbing bank robbers - is the issue. I understand realpolitik, but there's also a point at which extortion is, you know, not good. Next time don't vote for these shits. They do not have your best interests at heart | 151 |

1633107323123118082 | Meanwhile, in @City_Ekurhuleni, we made the mistake of driving through Germiston last week to avoid an accident on the N12. OH MY GOD. Words will fail you. The best thing that authorities could do would be to evacuate everyone, drop a bomb, and start again. Horrific | 109 |
1628492720716279810 | And you're still going to vote ANC? Ok | 106 |

1612415147653632001 | What happened to the ANC's commitment to non-racialism? Or, um, diversity in the party ranks? Silly me! All whites are obviously like that pair of Free State yahoos. Nothing to contribute, nothing to offer (other than taxes, obvs). | 32 |
