How do we get South Africa to have a voter turnout of at least 80% in the National Government Elections? What role should government, political parties, me and you play?
No vote = same bad service delivery from all levels of state including national, provincial, & municipal.

I really feel sorry for people who vote for ActionSA not knowing what it stands for ...
most south Africans they dont read .. they dont know that they wouldn't occupy high positions if it was not for BEE
Thuso .. Anele .. Tshidi .. malema
We have now entered into a fully mature democracy. New, qualified voices are stepping to the fore to meet the moment. We will forever be grateful to our liberators. That legacy cannot be erased. Now, we move to the next phase with unshakeable resolve to serve all South Africans.

Because Rise and Good are not centre-right. They’re social democrats. Bosa and ASA may as well merge though.
When you trigger hate even though your message is compassionate, it's not about you. It's about many things, but you aren't one of them.
The darkest forces in the world know that we are entering an extinction-level event. One where justice extinguishes injustice.
This is what "Love your neighbour" looks like.
Tonight, a mosque hosted a Shabbat against genocide. Jews, Muslims and people of different backgrounds standing together for Palestine and humanity. This is who we are in South Africa.

Rise Mzansi shows a politics of decency and ethics. No name calling or hate fueled campaigns.
Its aim is singular in that it seeks social justice. Liberation from political exclusion is not enough. We need social recognition too.
South Africa is changing, and RISE Mzansi is part of that change. Reflecting on the party’s first local government election, National Leader @SongezoZibi highlighted the deliberate decision to contest only seven municipalities across three provinces, focusing on consolidating and growing our core support base following our 2024 debut.

Please turn out to vote.
If you sit this one out then we will be stuck on this path of inequality, unaffordability, housing injustice, until 2031!
Think about that. Your next opportunity to vote to correct the wrong turns is 2031!
Polls close at 9pm. Get up
and get to your polling station and vote 🙏.
Boots on the ground in Ward 49! 🧡
GOOD Cape Town Mayoral Candidate Brett Herron joined GOOD Ward 49 Candidate Suzette Little on the streets, engaging with voters and encouraging residents to make their voices heard at the polls.
There's still time to cast your vote! Every vote counts towards shaping the future of our city.
GOOD believes in ONE STANDARD FOR ALL – where every street, suburb and community receives the same attention and quality of service delivery.
Don't miss your opportunity to make your mark. Go out and vote!

Get on your WhatsApp groups Cape Town and get people to go vote for @ForGoodZA . Nothing good happens when you don't take positive action. Get at last 1 more person to the poles.
EVERY VOTE MATTERS!
"Nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing is secret that will not be made known." Weĺl done @brettherron for the work that you guys did when noone was watching. May the outcomes in the LGE reveal your committed actions.
Today I voted to make sure that the voice of the poor and marginalised is heard in the DA led municipality. It is not enough for me to be happy with services (which I pay for) when the DA tries to keep people out of the City. @brettherron I met Fiona and that sealed my vote!
Do we call the US political earthquake the @NYCMayor effect, or the @jamestalarico effect, or the @AbdulElSayed effect?
My choice is the Mamdani Effect. The most unlikely candidate who went on a hunger strike in solidarity with cab drivers. THAT ushered in a new kind of politics.
