Just got arrested by the @SAPoliceService while sitting in the back of an uber. Arrested because apparently: I was a foreigner. I had a gun. I had drugs on me. I was drunk. When all was proven wrong and I wanted to file a complaint, the cops ran away from the station

They said they wanted to search me. I asked why. At this point tensions are rising. I could've cooperated and showed my ID but that means I would be cooperating with cops doing the wrong thing. So I asked why they want to search me? What did I do? Thats when the BS hit new levels

More context: Uber stopped at a red light. Police drove past stopped in the middle of the intersection, reversed back to us and then asked me if I'm a foreigner. I said you can't ask someone that question as a police officer. It's incorrect. They told me to get out uber. So I did

Had such a privilege to talk politics @DavidMashabela in a long form format. No 30sec sound bite or a quick tweet. Just a fun nonstop discussion talking about the state of our politics. Give it a listen if you want to understand the change in our politics

You want us to buy local. Sho. Cool story. But what local good. Are we focusing on informal or formal markets. Are we buying more textile goods, manufactured, agricultural etc? What if they aren't on the shelves... Then what? Like just tell us my man. Thuma us! #SONA2019

Just want to remind everyone that challenges related to long lines, and certain instances of a lack of capacity by the @IECSouthAfrica can partially be attributed to the fact that Parliament has actively defunded the cast majority of chapter 9 institutions over the past decade.

Is the NDP officially dead? @Kgotsi_Chikane questions why there's no update on NDP targets half way into the plan's life, with only ten years to go to 2030. Full new interview: #SMWX

Am I the only one who looks at the EFF and VBS connection and thinks to themselves...."Well in the hierarchy of R2.2bn of theft, R16m is rather...well...🤷🏾‍♂️?" Pensions are pensions. VBS scandal is atrocious. But also, in terms of scale, surely there are other bigger players???

For some reason this reminds me of John Steenhuisen. Or is that just me?

Fikile Mbalula is, in many ways, a metaphor for the ANC: utterly incompetent, utterly unaware of his incompetence, yet relentlessly rewarded promoted. His rise mirrors the ANC’s fall.

What that truly rubbed me up the wrong way last week was @MmusiMaimane trying to hijack the movement and make it about him #FeesHaveFallen

But also don't make a maths qualification the prerequisite for understanding election results, outcomes and seat allocation. The current system is unnecessarily complicated. Easy to explain on the surface, but really tricky once you get into the details

My thoughts about day 2. 1st: Fucking @VFPlus pulling through in the clutch! 2nd: @Our_DA is honestly seeing the worst kinda flames right now and who wants to bet they are going to blame @MmusiMaimane 😳 3rd: Smaller parties mustn't hold us hostage #TelkomIgnite #SAElections2019

Had a little chat with my dad the other days about what it will take to make this country break. You can find the link to our chat @WitsWiSER or any of your streaming platforms. Maybe we should have a twitterspace as well? 🧐

@PearlPillay People behave as if masturbation is not vital for young peoples journeys through adolescents. I mean sure, Stem is important but don't you dare tell me that masturbation is somehow not relevant to our society😅

So I said I would write an article about Renaldo Gouws. Somehow ended up writing an op-ed about the DAs changing approaches to liberalism and why Gouws represents its worst form. More could be said. Maybe even a journal article. But for now, give it a read, share your thoughts
