Building a safe, prosperous, united & equal South Africa in one generation
I am running for president of South Africa.
We canโt have thugs running this nation. We canโt have racists running this nation and we canโt have angry dictators running this country.
We need visionary and ethical leadership driven by a deep love for all South Africans.
BREAKING| Following reports that Turkish police arrested an Israeli football player over inciting hatred, Israel's minister of defense says "Turkey works as an executive arm of Hamas."

Violence is our norm. Perhaps not for a select few. But for the majority, it's a lived reality, every day.

I know we're all rightfully giving thanks and praise to the team of amazing lawyers.
But let me say this with the utmost confidence, Uncle Majiet (Grey hair), standing next to Adv Ngcukaitobi, has been one of the foremost organizers in the solidarity movement for years.
โThere are people now starting to ask โHow much is this case going to cost us.โ When we reached out to these patriots, they told us, โItโs not about how much youโre gonna pay us. This is our contribution to humanity.โ Incredible welcome for our legal team today.

Over 4 million people applied for a possible 163000 possible places at South African Universities this year!
What screams systemic failure more than this??
The Apartheid legacy of being forcibly removed is one I carry personally. My family lived on 14th street in fietas. They were forced to go live 35km away in Lenasia. We cannot forget the brutality. Neither can we abandon those who experience such atrocities today!
Thank you to all South Africans for giving us a mandate to serve in Parliament and the Gauteng Legislature ๐ฟ๐ฆโฅ๏ธ๐๐พ
The journey continues to create a safe, equal, united, and prosperous South Africa in one generation.
Continue to RISE and Organise with us in your communities.
Just over 31000 people registered to vote in the last 12 hours.
Keep pushing and encourage all South Africans, particularly young people, to get registered to vote.
We only have a couple more hours to go...

ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa penned this FINAL LETTER to DA Leader John Steenhuisen after he responded to their meeting and the proposals put on the table on the formation of the GNU Executive. The deal with the DA is on a knives edge over the Department of Trade and

The department insisted on continuing knowing full well the extent of infections at schools, particularly in the Gauteng metro regions.
Vaccine hesitancy/reluctancy in the youth category is also common. Please engage youth in your communities too. At religious centres, sports grounds, campuses, chill spots, bus/taxi stops etc. There are genuine fears and issues that we can help address. Let's do this ๐๐พ

I know you're touched. But the fact that you don't deliver to black and coloured townships is indication enough that you don't care for the most vulnerable people in WC. Yours is only to maintain the status quo.

Not an old DA supporter arguing with me that we are diluting the vote. That's not how democracy works, and we wouldn't have been building and growing an alternative this fast if your party actually inspired people to join.

Thanks for your question Z.
RISE has stated that our position on Palestine is rooted in the protection and promotion of human rights for all. And that the only way to a lasting and just peace is an end to the occupation, and a fully sovereign Palestinian state.

Attacking young ANC members for being in the ANC is not ok. They've made their choice, rather use that energy productively to register the 14million young people in SA who don't believe the ANC can ever be their political home.
This political culture is nonsense and must change.

Today in history:
Imam Abdullah Haron, aย South Africanย Muslim cleric & anti-apartheid activist was killed by the Apartheid security police on the 27 September 1969.
For those who'd like to know more I'd highly recommend watching the short documentary - "the killing of the Imam".
The DA and its cheerleaders have come full-on attack on Rise Mzansi because we're gaining traction in communities that they deliberately ignore. Its showing up their fallacy of governing well. They have nothing new to offer South Africa except more rants and entitled tears.
You know, I really think Songezo is a considered man, but this mindless adoption of the ANC racial slur that the DA, to quote him, deliberately โkeepsโ black and coloured people in squalor, is just pathetic. Politics really does make considered people talk like hacks.
