The Mpumalanga Legislature wants to rename the famous Kruger National Park to Skukuza National Park, erasing Paul Kruger's legacy. With skyrocketing crime, unemployment, and infrastructure woes plaguing the nation, is this really a priority?

Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends, Supporters, and Fellow South Africans,
It's been a long year since my time with my previous political party came to an abrupt end in 2024. Many of you know the story, the controversies, the challenges, and ultimately, my termination from the party I once called home.
It was a difficult chapter, one that tested my resolve and forced me to reflect deeply on my path in public service. But let me be clear, I am not done with politics and politics clearly isn’t done with me. Politics has never been a job for me, it's a calling, a passion fuelled by the desire to fight for a better South Africa for ALL who live in it.
Over the past year, I've stepped back from active politics, focusing on my work as a political commentator, an Industrial Psychologist and helping communities find practical solutions to real-world problems. Yet, during this time, something remarkable happened.
So many of you, from all walks of life, reached out and urged me to step back into the ring. Your words moved me profoundly. They reminded me that this isn't about feeling wronged or that an injustice occurred; it's about the people, the everyday South Africans who feel unheard, who yearn for leaders willing to battle for justice, equality, and opportunity. Your encouragement has reignited my fire, and today, I stand before you ready to answer that call.
That's why I'm proud to announce that I am joining the Freedom Front Plus. This decision wasn't made lightly. After careful consideration, I've found in the Freedom Front Plus a party that truly aligns with my core values and vision for our nation. At its heart, the Freedom Front Plus stands for freedom, the unyielding belief that every individual should have the liberty to pursue their dreams without undue interference.
It champions self-determination, empowering communities to shape their own futures and preserve their cultural identities in a diverse society like ours. And crucially, it fights for the protection of minority rights, ensuring that no group is marginalised or silenced in the pursuit of a truly inclusive democracy. These principles resonate deeply with me.
As someone who's spent years analysing and commenting on our country's political and social landscape through my social media, where over 400,000 of you have joined the conversation, I've seen firsthand how these values are essential to healing our divided nation. Freedom isn't just a word; it's the foundation of progress.
Self-determination allows us to honour our differences while building unity. And protecting minority rights? That's the safeguard against the tyranny of the majority, ensuring that every voice, no matter how small, is heard and respected.
These aren't abstract ideas to me; they're the very reasons I entered politics in the first place, from my days as a councillor in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro to my brief tenure in the National Assembly as a Member of Parliament.
Joining the Freedom Front Plus means I can continue this fight alongside a team that shares my commitment to a united, prosperous South Africa. A South Africa where every citizen, regardless of background, race or culture, can flourish equally. Together, we'll work to dismantle the barriers that hold us back, promote accountable governance, and foster the kind of economic growth that lifts everyone.
To those who've supported me through the good times and the bad: THANK YOU.
To the Freedom Front Plus: I'm honoured to stand with you. And to all South Africans: let's roll up our sleeves and get to work. The fight for a better South Africa continues.
Thank you, and God bless South Africa.

The DA has often leveraged Helen Zille's strong public image, and she’s always been eager to serve. But now, many are wondering: Is she still willing, or was she pressured into being the mayoral candidate for Jozi?

The City of Ekurhuleni seized a R30 million farm without providing zero in compensation, using the new Expropriation Act to test the constitutional limits. This could spark economic chaos, political fallout, and global backlash.

The U.S. Senate has introduced a bill to impose sanctions on the ANC and South African politicians, with a companion bill in the House led by Ronny Jackson. This is a clear indication that the USA wants some answers from RSA.

The Kiffness lost R500,000 for standing up for Charlie Kirk and condemning violence of any kind. How is it possible that you can lose a sponsorship for standing for what is right and principled?

The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is set to expire at the end of September, and many people are hoping that Donald Trump will extend it. I fear that the ANC might be one of the main reasons why it won't be extended.

It's time for the silent majority to speak up and be heard. We need to stand up for what is right and what is ethical. Mainstream Media has, for far too long, driven the leftist narrative whilst vilifying people on the right, and Charlie Kirk paid that price.

SARS is cracking down on social media influencers, but why are they ignoring the real heavyweights that can easily generate over R100 Billion for them? It's time to start asking the difficult questions.
