I continuously called City of Joburg extortionists. Anti economic development and intent on breaking the backs of hardworking rate payers. There HAS to be a way of protecting residents from this lawlessness. A lawsuit? They bully us with exorbitant bills, so they can loot.

Well… the Liverpool attacker who drove his car into kids appears to be a Farage, Tate and Musk fanboy. As he’s white The Mail is painting him as a middle class dad who lived in a cul de sac and must’ve “panicked in the moment”. If he’d been brown the far right would’ve rioted.

Oh! But I thought the problem was going on dates with men we don't know? Now it's *checks notes* being married to a man? I've said it before and I'll say it again: South Africa, the problem is MEN.

This is the video I posted last night - looking at claims from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the BBC's coverage of events in Gaza on Sunday.

BBC: Our staff was held by the IDF for hours at gunpoint. They were tied up, blindfolded, strip searched, interrogated and threatened. Their electronic devices were also taken from them and material was deleted. BBC strongly objects to the behaviour, which is wholly unacceptable.

Trump has tapped Palantir, which has been used by the Israeli government in its war on Gaza, to compile information on people in the United States. “If you're not freaking out yet, you should be,” says Carole Cadwalladr.

Watching how the podcast bros, musicians, aspiring politicians, and fan club who once swooned over the Trump-Musk bromance suddenly now backpedal, scramble and spin. 🍿🤭

In part one of #DirtyFuels we showed how PetroSA sold R933-million in diesel to Nako Energy, a company that couldn't put up guarantees and failed to pay. In part two, coming soon, we examine an even larger ‘contaminated’ petrol deal potentially worth a staggering R11-billion.

Comment: Joburg people: After 'that' news, the eating will go into overdrive. Watch big new vanity projects, keep an eye on all tenders awarded by entities, watch for big new squads. We're being eaten alive as water and power services collapse. All eyes, all eyes.
