What a fun and funny tweet it is. And she’s stunning!
Because she’s literally saying she doesn’t look 20. 🤣

Alpha really hurt you by asking Mr Malema a question né? That you are still here, 3 days later,with your fragile ego and infantile outbursts, is pitiful. It is YOU who deserves emphathy. Your loser energy is suffocating. It is normal, when one achieves accolades and awards for one's work, to remember the people who got you there. When success smiles at you, a normal person pays homage to those who laid the foundation. Evoking his mentor, Tshidi Madea, after being nominated for a significant award is what a polished person would do. But you do not know what that feels like. Camping on Alpha's timeline so many hours later is also creepy. It borders on cyber bullying. What a thin-skinned little man you are. No gravitas, no sense. No self-mastery. Your political career will soon be forgotten whilst Alpha's reports will fill the archives for eternity. I bet you didn't tell Tshidi at that time that the "she had the best exclusive.." You are doing it now, using the dead to be spiteful and settle a score with a young man old enoughto be your son. Grow up man and focus on your still-born political career.
Never use the dead to seek sympathy......she had the best exclusive with President a month before her untimely death.....we moved along so well with her......try next time.

Kaffirs are subhumans theres no reason for you to be seen in public with one. You are a disgrace of a woman you dirty whore” “I will make sure your whole family never finds your body” “don't ever hang up on me! Don't threaten me with SAPS police I will bribe them they all want cold drink nothing will happen to me go to the cops I don't care!”

They know. They're just putting their selfishness above you and the person they're cheating with.
Sometimes I wonder if cheaters know the extent of damage they cause on their partners because if they knew, why would you do it unless your whole goal was to psychologically damage someone?

So the “VOTE NO” campaign led by Ronnie Kasrils et al back in 2014 had this message: don’t vote for the big parties, vote for the small ones. They DID NOT call for boycott/stay away. Spoiling a ballot was only a LAST resort but at least it would be a footprint: you showed up.

And showing up is actually important. The habit of knowing you have a job to protects you from the danger of complacency that comes with staying away.

He exposed himself with that twisting of facts. He has a vendetta.

Security policeman Donald Card led the manhunt that led to Vuyisile Mini’s arrest. He’s also known to have tortured PAC activists. Card later became the member of the Progressive Federal Party which is one of the groups that merged to form the DA 😃
Replying to @valavoosh
Today we’re voting for the people who hanged him.

She actually voted and she has post of her inked thumb to show for it. Somehow the post remains undeleted and it keeps growing in likes. Hmmm.

No I am stunned by how bad Malema’s answer to this extremely valid (and if we’re being honest, foreseeable) question was
Give this journalist a bell’s 🥃, what a sniper question, even the VP of the EFF was displeased with CIC’s response. 😭😭😭

But also, the narcissism and arrogance of Ndlozi. He only left politics in 2025. He resigned from parliament in January 2025. The last election he campaigned and mobilized voters for was 2024. So the political landscape and democratic process was fine because of his presence and now, a year and a half later, it is not worth his time because he has left? It was ruined when he left? Nxm. And why did he need to make a public announcement?
He is definitely right about Doctor Ndlozi. An entire PhD holder and self proclaimed activist making an argument against voting. And then wants to be taken seriously when he makes pro illegal immigration arguments.
