Est 10 March 2007. Today we celebrate 16 years years of marriage. Over the past year, I’ve seen my husband show up for me in ways that have left me in complete awe. God went way ahead of me here.
It is a blessing and privilege I cannot put into words to be able to serve God and South Africa.
It is a calling I am committed to, have always been committed to, and will continue to be committed to, in whatever shape or form it comes.
Dear SA, thank you for commissioning me.
We are going to parliament 🥹
Thank you for the incredible support, thank you to the incredible

family of nation builders, you did it!
We only grow from here.
To those who voted, those who believe in us as individuals and have rallied behind the mission of power to
Happy birthday to a visionary, a changemaker, a pioneer
@MmusiMaimane
A man whose heart is for this nation.
We are so proud of the leader you are and I am grateful to have partnered with you on this journey.
South Africa is blessed to have you.
Under ANC governance: Almost half of SA women are economically inactive, poverty is higher among women in this country, femicide is 5 times higher in SA than the global average - yet you have the audacity to come for our votes. Anisiboni.
Comrades,
The task of the emancipation of women is one that we all share – women and men – within our movement and across our society.
Yet the ANC Women’s League occupies a unique position within the progress women’s movement to lead the fight against patriarchy.

Today I feel incredibly proud of us, South Africans and our respect for our young democracy.
Tomorrow marks 2 months since we lost our sister

and her friend Siphumelele at Cradle Boutique Hotel.
It’s still hurts in ways that are indescribable, it’s still a major blow for the country and for Africa, we still have seen no accountability for what happened.

Will today be doing work in the Rules Committee, which develops and formulates policy proposals concerning the business of the Assembly in respect of rules, proceedings and practices. An example is allocation of speaking time for political parties.

Im in Morocco with 80 prominent women leaders from the Middle East and Africa - brought together to script the future of the region.
Yesterday I shared the story of South Africa through the lens of three generations of women pioneers.
The room’s response moved me deeply.
Thank you

1. First port of call, is to restore Gauteng’s position as the economic hub of South Africa.
We must once again speak of Maboneng, Kwandonga ziyaduma.
Our mainstream economy is unable to absorb the level of unemployment and therefore we need to identify
Hi

If elected as Gauteng Premier, what is the one thing (out of the many challenges) that you would tackle first in GP?
Water? Education? Health?

It honestly is just “vibes”.
If we can’t measure the longevity and growth of supported SMMEs; or of the BOTTOMLINE - jobs created, it’s just vibes.
My speech today at the debate on budget vote 36: Small Business Development.
Today I celebrate my 42nd birthday, knowing that I am living out the purpose for which I have been born. I could not ask for a greater gift, than the opportunity to serve God and the nation of my birth as those in my lineage did.

we want to be able to say the will of South Africa and the will of the people has prevailed.

When all the excitement is over, we must talk about how problematic it is, that opposition leaders can say things like, “the mission was to remove the ANC”, to the press.
At least make us believe that at some point it’s about us 🤦🏾♀️ Make us believe that serving us is the mission.

With the cabinet announced, what now becomes critical, is ensuring delivery and accountability to South Africa’s 61 million.
This is the work we are committed to in the 7th Parliament.
We wish the Executive well and look forward to constructive engagement.
What was once just a concept, just a dream has truly realised today. Voting for change and knowing that in my own way I’m part of it, hits different 🇿🇦🥺
Such necessary conversations we need to be having with each other as we work to restore dignity to our identity.

Frame 1: My husband, truly father of the year, father of the decade and more
Frame 2: My Dad, whom I lost two years ago, the best father any daughter could ever ask for.
I’m blessed to witness great fatherhood and what it can do for society and for a nation.
Happy Father’s
Engaged with political party leaders from various African nations on elections, coalitions and the strengthening of democracies on the continent.
Important engagements and necessary interconnectedness. The winds of change are blowing.
No leader is perfect. Struggle heroes were not perfect.
BUT to give honour is not to suggest perfection.
Much of our elders’ fight and their life’s work was meant to just be the beginning. What, pray tell, have we done since?
For years the Democratic Alliance has shown who they are.
From Zille’s colonialism tweets, DA’s divisive posters after the July 2021 Unrest, to Steenhuisen’s “drunkard PEP” comments, and burning the flag.
More overtly, through what their “system” has done to leaders in the

The reason we’ve asked South Africans to choose and endorse BOSA candidates is to ensure that BOSA representatives in parliament are truly representatives of the people. We call ourselves a “government-in-working”, collaborating with communities on projects to address the many
8 women raped by 20 men in Krugersdorp.
This incident is so horrific, so gruesome, chilling. Yet with each layer of detail emerging, it seems it’s darker than we had imagine.

In May, 3 year old Neyamiah died on the way to hospital, when after days of unscheduled outages, her oxygen machine failed.
As a mother, listening to her parents express their love for her at her funeral in May, I was shattered.
In May, we opened a case against City Power and

Communities here have seen BOSA helping youth, bringing water tanks and they are ready to roll up their sleeves and be part of the mission to build!
Having grown up in a township, traveling to the suburbs every day from the age of 4, in my parents pursuit of equitable access to a opportunity for us, it’s always been very clear to me that SA is not ONE. I have a dream that one day access to economic opportunity will truly be
In Olivenhoutbosch today, connecting with residents, listening to their concerns.
Inspired by the resilience and openness of the people of South Africa. The people are ready for change and to embrace the vision of Building One South Africa 🇿🇦
Nobody is coming to save us, but us.
I’m truly inspired after an evening with South Africans who still dare to believe.
SA’s got leadership.

Today we visited Laphalala, Limpopo where the community depends on a river where people bath, wash their clothes, to draw drinking water. The same river was littered with garbage.
This is sadly, not a phenomenon unique to this community.

I love South Africa, I love South Africans and every single day hearing of the challenges in communities, the disappointments, the hopes and dreams, is fuel to keep building.
There comes a time in the life of many a nation when it must choose between succumbing to the weight of a breaking system or coming together to take it all back into our hands, to arise, to fight and build.
Today’s Opening of Parliament address did not deliver on the bold reforms and fresh expected. A golden opportunity missed.
Government is judged on implementation and delivery, and as
@BuildOneSA
we will be playing our role as a constructive opposition to ensure this happens.
