Numbers don't lie why would someone put EFF on number 8 instead of its righful spot number 4?🤔
They so disparate to see the mighty EFF dead even after the elections. It will never happen EFF is here for the generations to come.

It turns out that UNonqawuse @JacintaNgobese doesn't have any influence.
1. In 2024 MKP got 14%.
In 2026 they dropped to 9%.
2. ATM has completely vanished.
3. Floyd's party is dead on arrival.
5. ActionSA is not even in the top 4.

R12m stolen from SSA it's a lot money we understand Redi no work no pay.
Before I sign off on this topic. I do not know the journalist Alpha. Never met him. But I do know about the EFF's noxious abuse of journalists whose questions they find inconvenient. I'm not talking about their supporters (one should not lose sleep over strangers calling journalists, especially women, difebe, making references to their weight etc). I am talking about EFF leadership and their historic vitriol against journalists. Once the leadership enters the fray, they hunt like packs and swarm their target with abuse. Which includes labels like "most useless journalist." Because it came from a DP, it should not be left unchallenged. Alpha is lucky because he is a man. The insults would be worse if he were a woman.
Nonetheless, he needed to know that others - men and women - have experienced this. He must stand and do his job. Long after they jump ship, fight amongs themselves, implode or lose votes, he will still be standing with his microphone and pen! He needed to know that.

The problem with this tweet now, is that it takes your argument back to the same egoism you said you detest in today’s politics.
In the end, the writing is on the wall—properly displayed in percentages.
It begs the obvious question: what is it about YOU that produced this performance? Why is it that you have lost almost half of your vote share? Yes, YOU!
As I have said before, go argue with the wall.
As for me, I did abstain. A deliberate, conscientious abstention.
The right to abstain is not limited to parliament or council sessions. It is very much constitutional, and available to all citizens—especially those who DO register to vote!
That our voter registration increases by millions every time is a sign of genuine interest. When they do not show up to vote, after turning out to register, they may very well be refusing to choose between different versions of failure!
Voting MUST NEVER be a conscription; it is a right that comes with responsibility—one that can’t be deployed without conscience.
Above all, NO ONE is entitled to people's votes. VOTES are earned, just like respect. To say otherwise is the gospel according to dictators.
How else can we explain that Mandela campaigned in 1994 and lost both KZN and Western Cape, yet Mbeki won both 10 years later? They earned the votes through results on the ground by improving the living standards of our people. They were NOT ENTITLED to them!
Those who protest by deliberately not voting or deliberately spoiling their vote are exercising as sacred a right as the right to vote! A true revolutionary should know that, and would listen to them, for they too have registered a view!
It is in line with this spirit—the letter of which is in the Constitution, that 'every citizen is free to make political choices'—that Ronnie Kasrils, alongside Barney Pityana and others, in 2014 called on people to protest by spoiling their vote.
I’m sure you’ll agree, these are stalwarts of the anti-apartheid movement. They understood that no one—NOT even their own comrades—is ENTITLED to votes.
But first, go to the wall, brother. There, the measure of your weight is fully determined."

Young people, hear me out… without a vote, we have no voice. Put everything aside: go #RegisterToVoteEFF TODAY!

I spoke my truth yesterday, and everyone has the right to respond. Please rest assured, though, that I won’t be responding especially to the boys.

I recall back in 2022, at UJ APK you lectured us on the importance of voting. You said we must never make a mistake of thinking not voting is a solution, instead we would be at risk of selling our democracy to the white minority that would exercise that right and take over. 🫵🏽🤐

No my brother. The constitution itself is a product of a political process derived from voting. Imagine if in 1994 people abstained in protest to the violence and intimidation that was playing out.

You’ve interviewed me many times and asked questions I didn’t like, and I’ve given you answers you didn't like. But one thing is certain, we’ve never dictated to each other which questions to ask or what answers to give. Thobela.

Since you voted for ActionSA are you guys going to chase them away and when is that going to happen msunu?

Respect your abstention, brother. But let's be real.
You abstained, the ANC still fell, the DA still ate, and our municipalities and wards still has no lights, no running water in our taps, sewage running on our streets.
Your conscience is clean, but our stomachs are still empty.
Abstention didn't punish the system. It protected it.
I hope you sleep peacefully at night knowing that you sold-out mr Wall.
