Political analyst Dr Imraan Buccus says the SACP could become a significant force in SA politics, despite polling below 1% in eThekwini. He says the party's late entry into the elections, limited resources and challenges with grassroots mobilisation may have affected its performance, but its appeal among working-class and poor communities could give it room to grow. #Newzroom405 #LGE26 #Vote26

Chelsea thought they were coming to the adults table. Last night, Brentford ushered them to the kids table. They were already talking about the “title race” after those two lucky wins. There’s only one question this season; who will stop (mudododo) Arsenal?

LGE 2026 | SACP General Secretary Solly Mapaila says the party has submitted its candidate lists to the IEC. He adds that the SACP has not walked away from the Tripartite Alliance.

👑 How closely have you been following the Ndebele kingship succession story? The debate over the restoration of the Ndebele monarchy continues, with the King Lobengula family saying the Ndebele people currently have no legitimate king as the process of identifying the rightful Crown Prince continues. But how much do you know about the latest developments?

Good morning from Sol Plaatje University in Kimberley, South Africa. I am here attending the Anthropology Southern Africa (ASnA) 2026 Conference, Where I’ll be presenting a paper emerging from my years-long research on the intergenerational impacts of mass atrocities. My paper focuses on education and proposes a way of thinking about education not simply as a measure of the inequalities that persist after mass violence, But as a potential strategy for transforming those inequalities. I argue that when the material, social and educational conditions necessary for human flourishing are disrupted by genocide, apartheid, colonialism, slavery, And other forms of mass violence, Those disruptions can continue to shape life chances across generations. The question, then, Is not only how we understand these enduring inequalities, But what we do about them. My work asks how education can be deliberately reimagined to interrupt the transmission of disadvantage, And create the conditions for greater equality and human flourishing. This has implications across different historical contexts: Post-Gukurahundi Zimbabwe, Post-apartheid South Africa, Postcolonial societies; And communities living with the legacies of slavery. I am interested in moving the conversation beyond documenting what historical violence has done to communities Towards asking and proposing what can be done, What should be done, Through education, To change the conditions that oppression has left behind. Because long after these atrocities have ended, The privileges they produced for their beneficiaries still exist, And the inequalities they produced, Remain in place. Ending formal violence does not automatically dismantle the distribution of advantage and disadvantage produced by that violence. We therefore have the responsibility, To deliberately transform the conditions that allow those inequalities to persist across generations.

I am so angry at a stranger, I feel like putting a phone reminder to insult him very day ngize ngibhodle 😩

I think Nelson Mandela was an exceptional human being. Years ago, I had his picture framed in my room. He's staring out of a window from his cell on Robben Island, looking into the distance. I don't think Madiba's outstanding quality was necessarily his patience, admirable as that was. It was his quiet dignity and character. Nelson was confident without being puffy, dignified in suffering, and wielded power like a skilled swordsman. Consider: Of his generation of liberation age compatriots, nearly all overstayed their welcome at the helm, building cults of personality and becoming the new oppressors in instances. Nelson spent 27 years locked up, came out, was handed power, and only stayed 4 years before voluntarily stepping down. I can't think of a greater selflessness, but it was characteristic of the man. I hope to be just a fraction of the person that great son of Africa was.

Shuwa Dr.

I went to Blue Hills Camp with Sandy, Aunty, and my uncles. We had so much fun. I enjoyed myself. But I fell off the quad bike and broke my hand. I need an operation to fix it, and the way I cried when the doctor tried to align it... If you hear me say I fear fokol, I am lying, please. I took pills and had an injection to ease the pain. Getting medical attention is expensive. I've spent almost US$300.00 and I haven't even seen a specialist yet. Yoh lina. Kunzima. My friends need to donate $50 per person 🙈🤣 (l am unemployed and fatherless). Anyway, I recommend Blue Hills. We did so many activities and their team is amazing. Even when I got hurt, they were more worried than me. They showed so much care. I honour them. Joy will kill us, shame.

Congrats Cde! You have done a good thing. May you be blessed & be fruitful.... On that note Let me call @tapiwa_chiriga & @TereraiSithole to a meeting!

She has resigned 😂 Like I said, she would rather want people believe she was incompetent than admitting that she was protecting the interests of her cabal.

Not even Doc, she is not incompetent. She knows her stuff. It was just a ploy to get her husband and Major General Firoz Khan take over Crime Intelligence. They never wanted anything to do with Dumisani Khumalo.

I think she has just been lucky over the years because the evidence at Madlanga screams incompetence. If she were competent she would have covered her tracks in charging Khumalo&others not this blatant disregard of basic prescripts of the law.

🚨Johnson the "seasoned" prosecutor with decades at NPA, Testifies‼️#MadlangaCommission Day 3 Over the past three days, Chair Madlanga & commissioners tore her apart as she conceded basic failures even a first-year law student would know. Her "expertise"? Exposed as hollow. 🧵1/.
