However, this man speaks on behalf of millions, possibly nearly 50 million of us, and you should at least listen to what he has to say. Here's a quick summary of what South Africa looks like: Corruption: It's a disease eating away at our country, from the highest levels to communities. We've had enough of theft and irresponsible actions. 🕵️‍♂️💰 Service Delivery: The lack of basic services like electricity, water, and sanitation in many communities is a disgrace. It seems the government lacks the ability to manage these critical needs. 🚰💡 Insecurity: Crime is a daily reality that affects us all, and it feels like the government lacks the will or plan to address this crisis. 🔒🔫 Unemployment: With one of the highest unemployment rates in the world, it's clear that current economic policies aren't working. Young people see no future in this country. 📉👨‍🎓 Education: The education system is in crisis, with many schools lacking the necessary resources or qualified teachers. This is a direct result of neglect and mismanagement. 📚🚫 We've had enough of politicians who steal and act foolishly. It's time to vote colour-blind in South Africa, where ability is the only criterion. We seek leaders who can build the country, not divide it. #VoteColorBlind #AbilityFirst #ChangeSouthAfrica #SouthAfricaDeservesBetter

@Thabiso, you've hit the nail on the head. Stadium politics, with its reliance on spectacle over substance, has long passed its sell-by date. Here's why: Stadium Fill-Ups: The DA might not fill stadiums, but it's the second largest party in South Africa. This shows where real support lies - in the minds of voters seeking genuine governance, not just loud promises. Manufactured Crowds: The reality of "filled stadiums" often includes paid attendees bussed in for the event. True support isn't measured by how many people a party can gather but by how many they can inspire to vote for them. #ManufacturedCrowds Spectacle vs. Substance: Arriving in a convoy with blue lights, followed by a speech from a "fat overweight fool" promising the moon, yet failing to deliver basic services like water in @Gauteng under leaders like @Lesufi, shows a disconnect from real governance. #EmptyPromises After 30 years, can we, as South Africans, please look beyond race when we vote? Let's focus on ability, integrity, and the capacity to actually deliver services. Ability Over Race: The time has come to vote based on who can actually manage our cities and country effectively, not on historical affiliations or skin color. #AbilityFirst Service Delivery: Leaders who can't ensure water flows through a tap in @Gauteng should not be leading. It's time for governance that works for all South Africans, not just for show. #ServiceDeliveryFail It's time for South Africa to mature politically. Let's demand leaders who are there for the work, not just the show. #SouthAfricanPolitics #VoteWithIntegrity #NoMoreStadiumPolitics

AbilityFirst wishes a Happy Hanukkah to those that celebrate. Wishing you a year of light and love.

Last day of #DisabilityHistoryMonth @SheffChildrens and it’s be a pleasure and privilege to play a part in promoting awareness of how disability impacts but also how we can value the talents some of those impacts create. #Adjustments #NewWaysOfWorking #AbilityFirst
