One of the things that gets me with these tenderpreneurs is that instead of building something of value with their ill-gotten gains, like a business, they spend it on luxury cars and handbags. Itโ€™s actually poverty mentality at its height

COVID-19 PPE tenderpreneur Hamilton Ndlovu had one job: to lay low as he enjoyed his ill-gotten R158million from rigged tenders. But, no, his desire for 30seconds instant fame led to unnecessary attention from the nosy SIU.His R11million luxury cars fleet is now being auctioned๐Ÿ˜ก

@ErnstRoets @SA_Dragonslayer I have no issue with it whatsoever, I think itโ€™s a very clever way of getting empowered and way more compelling than shareholders being one or two fatcats. Surely you can see the benefits of distributing shares to ordinary black citizens?

Early start to my day, two guys hopped over our wall, tried unsuccessfully to get into our garage, broke a burglar bar and window before triggering our alarm, police very professional and here in minutes. Mindful that few SAโ€™ns can afford alarms and burglar bars.

This makes me so cross, it is bad enough that Life Esidimeni happened but taxpayers are funding their defence ๐Ÿ˜ก Life Esidimeni inquest legal fees have cost Gauteng Health a staggering R77 million and counting

Looking at the news, rarely do and first three stories about crimes against women, the Krugersdorp rapes, two teen girls hacked to death in KZN and a womanโ€™s body found in Nyanga. A broken society, as a mother of two girls and a citizen of SA, I feel sad and sickened ๐Ÿ’”

@helenzille Hard to deny UCT is a mess but I think itโ€™s lazy to call it โ€˜wokenessโ€™, itโ€™s an over-traded word that actually means socially & politically aware which we all ought to be. Some of ppl who laid the complaint were black, this has a lot more complexity to it.

@F62Forbes @nombonisogasa I agree that we are stuck as a country but I do believe that this has a lot to do with white ppl refusing to acknowledge the long-term damage caused by colonialism & Apartheid, we have to acknowledge our privilege and find a way of correcting structural inequity

We have to start changing the way we think, we have masses of unemployed ppl, it has to be possible to build things from the bottom up, not via corrupt tenders but the communities themselves to galvanize and build. Govt as an enabler should train and supplement incomes

@LindiMazibuko Yes completely agree but itโ€™s terrible that weโ€™re secretly wishing that a compromised president survives because heโ€™s less bad than the others

I know that personal taxes are not the only taxes but this is terrifying & every high-income earner that emigrates leaves a hole "With not much more than 350,000 individuals accounting for approximately 42% of overall personal income taxes, SAโ€™s tax system rests on a pinhead."

@Unathi_Kwaza @CyrilRamaphosa @MYANC But this is a positive tweet and story, letโ€™s not always whinge, letโ€™s also acknowledge when good is achieved. We can take a moment off and then whinge in the next tweet ๐Ÿ˜‚
