But let’s blame the athletes 🙄🙄🙄

Tenderpreneurs are salivating online at the prospect of the DA potentially being kept out of governing metros.
The prospect of the DA cleaning up the finances of metros and municipalities across the country frightens them.
This sad need for external validation from a grown man..

The first public share of that exact PL27 poster was by Panyaza Lesufi himself on X at 13:49 GMT on 10 November 2026, in the post where he asked for it to be removed. No earlier public appearances of the image turned up in reverse-image searches, X advanced searches, or news reports.

But Minister, there was money to fly influencers, friends & other people to the World Cup, yet athletes who actually qualify to represent SA are told to find R55,000 themselves?
So please spare us the “federations get grants” argument. The question is priorities…who gets the money, and why are our athletes always at the back of the queue?
Thank you, we stepped in when Hockey needed money, we stepped in when Chess SA needed assistance, all Federations get a grant from government, you might dislike me but don’t apportion blame based on your feelings, read up and understand before you come for me.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Blame is being “apportioned” to you because you misrepresent how funds are allocated. The statement implies all money goes towards Sport, however the minister himself was responsible for R31m being used for private, none sports related travel.

Mind you, 18 government officials, 30 artists & cultural participants, 27 Bafana Bafana 2010 legends, 47 fans, & 29 journalists, podcasters & influencers….
Many of these people were not athletes competing in the tournament….They could have stayed home. Yet public money was available to facilitate their trip, while 21 South African swimmers representing the country are expected to shoulder their own costs Haybo guys! @GaytonMcK

One of the more interesting options being floated within the ANC for partnering with the DA is a confidence-and-supply proposal. This means the DA governs alone in metros where it is the biggest party and the ANC does the same, with each party protecting the other from no-confidence votes.
I like this idea because it gives voters what they asked for AND it gives everyone a chance to see who governs well. Plus, it removes the instability within councils where parties trying to work together fall out.
I doubt the ANC will agree to it, though, because it would see the DA govern alone in the three Gauteng metros AND Nelson Mandela Bay, while the ANC takes Mangaung and Buffalo City.
Still... a sensible option.

One of the first things I’d get to work on if I was a dictator president would be to disband and split these massive municipalities like CoJ, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni, etc into smaller ones - including district municipalities.
It’s clear that people living in Linden want a different party to lead them than people living in Lenasia, for example.

These are results from Newzroom Afrika’s poll this morning. People prefer DA/Action SA. When Clem reflected the same picture from his listeners, he was attacked. Facts don’t lie.
Don't worry guys, the tax taken from you was used to send a gangster to the FIFA World Cup for a party. 🕺⚽️
Athletes who represent and make us proud must go to hell!

South Africa’s most decorated Olympian, Tatjana Smith, has officially switched sporting allegiance to the Netherlands after World Aquatics approved her change of nationality.
🥇🥇 Olympic gold medals
🥈🥈 Olympic silver medals
🇿🇦 A South African legend
While she will now compete in Dutch colours and target LA 2028, Smith will remain based in South Africa, continue training with her long-time coaches, and support local athletes through the Lighthouse Sport Foundation.
👉 A new flag, but an enduring legacy in South African sport. 💚💛

dailymaverick.co.za/article/… but let’s rather spend R82 million on a bankrupt golf tour, R31 million at FIFA World Cup and R20 million on non-existent VAR instead of putting the funds into SA sport, the athletes and grass roots development. The administration of SA sport is a tragic mess of systemic corruption from the Sports Ministry down to SASCOC and the majority of the federations. I used to think Fikile Mbalula was the most arrogant, corrupt and unethical
Sports Minister ever in SA but Gayton McKenzie is now right up there. Very sad for SA sport!
This is awful.

Spent R30 million on the FIFA World Cup
Wants to spend R80 million on getting VAR
Irregular and wasteful expenditure more than R67 million in the 25/26 financial year
Now he can’t fund our Swimming team. People really voted for this guy
Swimming South Africa has informed team members that they will have to pay R55,000 for their flights and accommodation for the World Aquatics Swimming Championships.

The coalition discourse should be about how parties can work together to fix broken municipalities and improve services.
That is not what is happening though. And it is so disappointing.
