Being a woman isn't an essence, it's a material, provable fact. I'm not a female human being because society or history made me one, or because I picked the 'woman' category on some metaphysical spreadsheet. I'm a woman because I was born with the equipment to produce large

'What a woman means has changed over time' makes as little sense as 'what the sky means has changed over time.' No amount of fashionable jargon, pseudo-science or religious belief will alter the nature of women or the sky. You are not God. Reality exists independently of you.

Oh, fuck off. I hope everyone buys twice as many John Boyne Books, a) because he’s brilliant, and b) to piss off the Gender Taliban.

We demand justice, safety, and dignity for the women of SA and the communities at large. Helen Zille John Steenhuisen MP Karabo Khakhau MP

We refuse to accept that corruption is the cost of doing business with the state. AmaBhungane is joining legal challenges by the Western Cape Premier and the City of Cape Town against the new Public Procurement Act — a framework that risks entrenching corruption.

📣 This Monday at 11h15, DA Leader John Steenhuisen will unveil DA's bold reforms to turbocharge the economy for jobs, with practical alternatives to BEE, the Employment Equity Act & the Expropriation Act. Watch it live on our Facebook or YouTube pages: youtube.com/live/0k00CjREZ…

Babita had just halted R850 million in suspicious payments to hundreds of companies linked to Tembisa Hospital. As chief accountant at Gauteng Health, she spotted something big - and deadly.

Shell companies. Inflated prices. Collusive bidding. Babita uncovered a sophisticated extraction network draining public health funds meant for the poorest communities. She called for a forensic investigation.

Why was Babita scared? Because stopping the money meant exposing the syndicate. And in South Africa's shadow state, whistleblowers who threaten billion-rand corruption networks don't live long.

Babita Deokaran died for trying to protect public money meant for healthcare. Honour her memory by demanding accountability. The shadow state only wins when we stop asking questions. #JusticeForBabita

😲 R1 trillion for 100 politically connected people! What has BEE done for poor South Africans? What have the race-based laws and policies done to empower poor people? Watch, the DA has unpacked a new action plan to grow the economy and create jobs: youtube.com/live/0k00CjREZ…

But of course they would. They’re not one of the most unethical political parties in the world, for nothing: ANC integrity commission clears Mashatile timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/n… # via Times LIVE

This is world class looting.

Thank you for writing this book, which I look forward to reading. Babita is a hero and we need to keep pushing back against the shadow state until we establish an ethical state.

📺 Watch as the DA exposes the shocking state of PRASA’s R2.5 billion “refurbishment” scandal with trains abandoned and tracks left to rot. While taxpayers pay for upgrades that never reach commuters, PRASA faces zero consequences in what looks like another cadre enrichment.

BEE kills jobs! Only a few politically connected individuals continue to benefit from BEE, while millions of people go to bed hungry. The only empowerment South Africa needs is more jobs and opportunities.

At the time when pending US tariffs are going to lead to thousands of job losses, our government spends more time with America's enemy nr 1 than with America. How utterly imbecilic. No problem to speak to everyone but read the room. Utterly stupid international relations.
