Because we have had an ANC government in power for 30 years that cares less and less for the people that vote for it, and only about the personal enrichment of the powerful interests in and around it. They couldn't give two hoots for the average poor black South African except at election time.

It's the same story over and over again - what is meant to benefit the many who have been genuinely affected is hijacked by the (politically connected) few. Who seem to feel nothing about stealing everything from those they are meant to be looking out for.

This vendor has a terbufos (halephirimi) supplier in Joburg who sells to him in bulk. Altogether, these bags cost him R500. #CarteBlanche #southafrica #news #crime #YourChoiceHasPower

Terbufos (or halephirimi) is a pesticide that's been banned in SA since February 2026. So, why is it still available on street corners? #CarteBlanche #southafrica #news #crime #YourChoiceHaspower

Journalist Orrin Singh has covered one of the biggest terbufos poisoning cases in SA - the death of six children in Naledi in 2024. But there are many more such cases. #CarteBlanche #southafrica #news #crime #YourChoiceHasPower

iSimangaliso is legally bound to empower local communities, but broken promises over land trigger direct conflict with park authorities. As Paul Jennings says, conservation only succeeds when neighbouring communities have a real stake in its success. #CarteBlanche #southafrica #news
