On 12 May 1993, our family woke up to the horrible news of the murder of my mom.She was shot after knocking off from her night shift at Bara.The murderers were never arrested.We never got justice.Every year on this date, the scar morphs into into an excruciating wound.

SASCO disrupted classes today at the University of Limpopo because they “demand a students’ bar.” Of all the pressing issues students face there, a students bar is the number one priority for SASCO!Talk about skewed priorities!
Jackson Mthembu was a rare exception amongst Ministers as he valued accountability dearly and never shied away from difficult questions. He had an impeccable knack for banter that could defrost the most tense moments between political opponents

. Sign off with pride knowing you ran a clean and honest administration that delivered services to all.
Your colleague is being arrested for breaking the law. Don’t spin some self-righteous rubbish posturing as some martyr of a noble cause. The corrupt must be arrested and face the full might of the law! Why are you catching feelings? Is it the fear of knowing you could be next?
You can arrest us all, but our ideas are superior and represent aspiration of poor majority. Until we commit to a united the organisation, we will continue embarrassing each other whilst poverty, inequality n unemployment finishes our people.
Grieving families are often vulnerable to manipulation for media stunts by opportunists like the SAHRC’s Buang James. To drag a mourning mother through throngs of media to trespass the venue where her son lost his life is utterly distasteful.
From one political communicator to another, Sis’ Mahlengi is a consummate professional. No frills, no verbosity. Just clinical delivery, always measured, and never distracted by the temptation of becoming the story herself. Put some respect on her name.
I am very impressed by the smooth vaccination process at Polokwane Provincial Hospital. Spent less than 14 minutes from being screened at the gate to actually get vaccinated. Well done to your officials MEC

Well done The City of Tshwane. State entities, government departments and private business must be treated the same way defaulted residents are. Tima Tshwane Tima!
After much resistance, and intimidation, we finally switched off Denel! We treat all our customers the same without fear or favour.

In hopes of raising money for school uniforms, bags & sanitary pads for learners in Limpopo, the Oceana Group donated R100k to the Home Run Project which started 15 days ago in Soweto & ended yesterday in Tzaneen.
Visit to learn more about the initiative.
The case of Homu “Sports Complex” in Giyani.
Built in 2014.
Project cost R6.5m.
Never been used to date.
7 years later, it’s an abandoned kraal for livestock.

Happy to report that uMama has finally been released.
She’s set to appear at the Roodeport Mag Court tomorrow morning.
Attorney is being arranged to act for her.
She sends her regards and thank yous.

it’s actually ANC provincial Departments of Human Settlements that have underspent their housing budgets, forcing National Treasury to take back the funds. Gauteng, North West and Limpopo all returned R600m to Treasury in 2017. Stop the lies.

The irony of announcing yet another new ministry while underscoring the intention to reduce the size of cabinet marks the contradictions of the Ramaphosa presidency
#cabinetreshuffle
You may or not like Maseko’s robust style but accusing him of pandering to the DA is outrageous. This is pure intolerance of journalists who ask difficult questions. Get over yourself, Jessie! Deal with your party’s skeletons. Grow a thick skin. And stop bullying journalists.
