i don’t want to live in a world where everything is technologically advanced and automated but the air is dirtier, clean water is scarcer and the natural world is disappearing

if AI disappeared tomorrow, the only thing that would change for most of us is that life would slowly start getting better again.

Replying to @LukhonaMnguni
@LukhonaMnguni is an educated man with empathy and desire to play a part in improving life in South Africa for everyone. I Rise!
I also want to appreciate @LukhonaMnguni for standing as Rise Mzansi's mayoral candidate in Johannesburg. It takes courage to move from commentary into the arena and put your name on the ballot. Our politics, and local government in particular, needs more young and educated people willing to serve. Municipalities are where people feel government the most: water, roads, electricity, refuse. In my birthplace in the Free State, I have seen what happens when councillors lack the skills for the job. Some do not understand bylaws, struggle to make decisions, and see being a councillor as a job rather than a calling to serve. The sad part is that these towns are full of capable people. But many take their skills to the private sector, and our municipalities lose the very talent they need. 👊👊👊

Another thing I think people missed with Rise Mzansi and the point I guess Songezo made is that they ran a very targeted campaign and probably had interest in maybe 2-3 municipalities but really their only interest was getting Lukhona in to Johannesburg and it worked!🤷‍♂️ …he’s in

You ran a good race sir, your advocacy alongside @AxolileNotywala has been truly remarkable, inspiring and motivating. Your dedication and commitment to the struggle of middle and lower class Cape Town residents must never go unnoticed 🙏🏾
The people who voted have spoken, and I respect that. But the housing crisis in Cape Town didn’t disappear on election day. Neither did the 500,000 families with nowhere to live, the apartheid spatial plan, or the gap between those who can afford to be here and those who can’t. We ran on solutions - not slogans. Alongside candidates who share this fight for a fairer city, we pushed for affordable housing in well-located areas, dignified living conditions, and a City that builds inclusion instead of managing exclusion. The result doesn’t change those realities. It just means the work continues - in council, in communities, and next week. The struggle for social and spatial justice in Cape Town is not over. 📸: @IOL / Henk Kruger

In June 2025, in council I spoke about Cape Town’s deadly divide and the neglect of poor black and coloured communities by the DA led City of Cape Town. How many more children must die in Cape Town for the DA to prioritise poor black and coloured communities with services?
A one-year-old child drowned after falling into an open municipal drain in Samora Machel in Cape Town. Nkosikhona Swartbooi said the toddler, who lived near the drain, had taken a few steps out of his home and fallen in. He also said that the drain had been left open since August

The disease of whiteness is that it believes black people have no agency, no talent, no intellect or principles in the face of money. It believes that where black people are concerned, rationality flies out the window in the presence of whiteness with money. It holds a deep seated belief that white equals master and black equals puppet. For two years you’ve hopped on about 15 million rands as though it was an infinite amount of money and RISE Mzansi were not an organisation with overheads, and that the people who donated had no sense or concept of how money works or what operational expenditure is. You speak as though all who bear the name Oppenheimer are a monolith, yet you can distinguish Rolihlahla Mandela from a Mandla Mandela. And this is by no means a defence of a billionaire ruling class, but you behave as though Rebecca has no stake in a South Africa that succeeds. Your critique could be taken seriously if you expended the same energy on Moshal, Mazotti, Herzov & Fynbos sources of funding. But no, “the blacks” that claim to be different can never be, because to whiteness, blackness is always void of substance. You are disingenuous and dishonest and it’s getting rather tedious.
It's tempting to laugh at Rise Mzansi for their dismal performance despite being given the money, media and civil society coverage of a 20% party. But that's a mistake,, because it's clear that the Oppenheimers are using them differently... They got 2 seats in Parliament (/400) and yet got the positions of: Chairman of SCOPA (Zibi) Chair of the impeachment inquiry (Gana) They got 1 seat in Gauteng (/80) yet that person became MEC for Economic Development overseeing gambling (in which the Oppenheimers have a large stake). You only need the right to have one puppet in Parliament and with behind the scenes 'leverage' that puppet could be president or premier. Or in a city they could become mayor. So while they deserve derision for their two-faced posturing and disastrous Rand/vote and Rand/hour ratios, it's no laughing matter for South African democracy. One day South Africans could wake up to an Oppenheimer puppet president who only got 0.8% of the national vote...

Those criticizing Rise and their numbers… you realize they’re a new party. Building a base takes time. Developing a party identity takes time. I hope they are not discouraged by this, nothing will ever beat on the ground organising and connecting with people. They must continue

To the politicians: PLEASE listen to the voters. They want ethical, competent government that keeps us all safe and delivers services efficiently and cost effectively. Please serve them, not your own interests. Please don’t take all our collective hope for a better SA away.
