R76 MILLION IN IRREGULAR EXPENDITURE. & WE’RE STILL STRUGGLING TO BUILD SYSTEMS OUR CREATIVE ECONOMY NEEDS.
WE’RE NOT SHORT OF TALENT. WE NEED BETTER SYSTEMS FOR TURNING THAT TALENT INTO SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS.
Minister McKenzie, we need to talk.
I have so much to say about this.
The Department of Sports, Arts, and Culture, headed up by Minister Gayton McKenzie, incurred R76 million in irregular expenditure for the 2025/26 fiscal year.

Kwasuka lokho, and she is likely not the only individual experiencing this issue. These are local elections meant to address the needs of residents within their own municipalities. Requiring her to vote in a different city for a mayor who will not represent her interests raises serious concerns about the effectiveness and fairness of the electoral process the IEC administers! @IECSouthAfrica, shame on you!

apartheid can’t LITERALLY return as the legal order of this country. our constitutional democracy fundamentally rejects it. but our fear should not be its *literal* return. it should be the reproduction of the material inequalities it left behind, under a different political language and name. that is the concern w the DA: its policies risk preserving what should be dismantled. do not vote for the DA.
& guys, remember:
YOUR LIFE IS WHERE THE CONSEQUENCES OF INSTITUTIONAL FAILURES BECOME PERSONAL, MATERIAL & IMMEDIATE.

I want to acknowledge those of us who wish to participate but are unable to do so because of economic/geographic/health circumstances.
There is a difference between political apathy & being materially unable to participate in democracy.
Democracy should be accessible to us all.
To everyone who is able to vote today, please exercise your democratic right and make an informed decision.
Look beyond political personalities, slogans and promises. Examine the track records, policies, accountability and commitments of those asking to represent you. 🇿🇦❤️

In environments where opportunities are scarce and selection processes are opaque, sexualised attention may become confused with professional advantage. This can create resentment between women while leaving exploitative gatekeeping unexamined.

Education develops the person. Accountability regulates conduct. Institutional reform changes the conditions. Economic empowerment expands people's choices.

If the girls are hating on you because you have a big booty, and the guys are hating on you because you won't sleep with them, where's your community?

Apartheid was a system of socialisation. Why wasn’t healing institutionalised with the same intention?
We need to re-socialise South Africa.
#TheBoyIAmTheManIChooseToBe, is my first step towards building that shared language of dignity.

Read it. Reflect. Let’s begin the work of changing how we relate to one another. 🇿🇦
Disappointment can hurt twice: 1st through what happened, then through what we decide it says about us.
A friendship ends, a promise breaks, a dream stalls & suddenly an experience becomes a verdict on our worth.
But pain is not proof of inadequacy.

Resilience doesn’t require us to abandon hope, suppress our needs or become emotionally unavailable to protect ourselves from disappointment.
We need the capacity to grieve, reassess expectations, recognise patterns & remain open to possibility without abandoning discernment.

Our ability to process disappointment shapes how we love, trust, handle conflict and exercise responsibility.
These capacities need deliberate development, at every age.
