Don’t be shocked Willem they stand with the DA, also funded by the same people, though they get peanuts.

This Sundowns team is not the usual, their whole play is shingles, no coordination and lots of misplaced passes.

DJ Shimza fired with immediate effect from Kunye Records but headlines Kunye Fest
DJ Shimza, real name Ashley Kholofelo Raphala, headlined his Kunye Jozi XI event at Huddle Park in Johannesburg on Saturday night, 7 November, despite reports his removal as a director of Kunye Records over allegations of financial misconduct.
Kunye Records and the Kunye music events are closely associated with the internationally acclaimed DJ. Kunye Records is the company at the centre of the corporate dispute, while Kunye Jozi XI is part of the music event series organised under the Kunye Together brand owned by Shimza.
Shimza and his co-director, Jarrad Evan Treger, were removed from Kunye Records following an application by fellow shareholder Hannes Hoffmeister, who according to a report by Africa Daily, accused them of financial misconduct, unauthorised payments and conflicts of interest.
Court papers detail allegations that Shimza failed to disclose his interest in Just Exists (Pty) Ltd, which received R752 000 from Kunye Records between 2022 and 2024. Other transactions involving his company, Shimuzic, were also questioned.
Some of the payments mentioned by Hoffmeister included R300 000 on 31 July 2022 for sponsorship of SOL PTA in July 2022, R120 000 on 1 February 2023 for a Standard Bank sponsorship of a Kunye Johannesburg event, R300 000 on 3 March 2023 for a SOL/Heineken sponsorship of a Kunye Johannesburg event and R32 000 on 1 March 2023 for a KwaZulu-Natal sponsorship in April 2023.
Hoffmeister further alleges on 2 April 2024, Strongbow paid Kunye R540 000 which was transferred to Just Exists the following day under the reference "Just Exist Refund", despite no refund being due and without board approval.
He alleges that a separate payment of R185 000 was made by Kunye Records to DJ Shimza's entity Shimuzic on 1 August 2023, despite the transaction not having board approval and the expense not being related to supporting the company's events.
Hoffmeister also said several payments were made to Shimza's personal tour manager, known as "Lets Push" or "Stuff" without board approval. Further payments were made to "Zito", identified as Shimza's personal photographer.
He accuses Shimza of establishing two brands, U'R and Shimza & Friends, which competed directly with Kunye by targeting the same audience, booking similar artists and hosting events in other South African cities.
The Companies Tribunal ruled on 20 August 2026 that Shimza and Treger be removed as directors of Kunye Records with immediate effect.
However, Shimza and Treger have approached the Western Cape High Court to challenge the decision, arguing that they were not given a proper opportunity to respond to the allegations.
Meanwhile, Saturday's Kunye Jozi XI event went ahead at Huddle Park, with Shimza on the line-up alongside international DJ Francis Mercier and South African house veteran DJ Kent.

How do you justify abstaining, when the minority goes all out? You of all would know that the right to vote came with blood and sweat, and lives lost.
As darkies we should never take voting granted.
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."

You are not being honest, that was the most prudent question. Him asking that question, where most tend to tip toe around CIC means he is going far.
I was disappointed on the useless question, narrative being implanted and insinuation by the journalist....poor tools of analysis......with wrong conclusions.....the young man is going to be amongst the most useless journalist shem......

Not many ask the right questions, glad you don’t have time to nurse politicians feelings. You have a bright future.
Your views are always skewed towards your favs, you could never hide your bias and double standards.
Flip flopping professor.
3. Denying Helen the position of mayor is legally permissible but would violate the substantive intent of our democracy. How can the biggest party be excluded? We should therefore try and avoid it if at all possible? So what are Helen’s options for coalition partners?

My ward, voted for you. Take heart, it was never going to be easy to dethrone de Kock.
🚨 ActionSA activists took to the ground to thank residents of @CityTshwane Ward 64 The Reeds, Rooihuiskraal & Kosmosdal for voting ActionSA. #WeAreActionSA
