Renowned Zimbabwean journalist and filmmaker, Hopewell Chin’ono, said Zimbabwean and South African citizens should work together to bring to an end “corrupt rule” in their countries.
South Africa is governed by the ANC, whose support has been dwindling since the attainment of majority rule in 1994.
ZANU PF has overseen the near-collapse of Zimbabwe’s economy and social service for the past 43 years since the country gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1980.
While ZANU PF won Zimbabwe’s disputed elections held on 23 August 2023, South Africans will vote in 2024, with the ANC’s majority in Parliament under threat.
Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Chin’ono said ZANU PF and ANC elites are now out of touch and Zimbabweans and South Africans should “bin” the corrupt parties as they did to the Ian Smith’s Rhodesian government and the Apartheid regime, respectively. He wrote:
<blockquote>
It is a tragedy that the ANC South African Government fails to understand that a working Zimbabwe will be more beneficial for South Africa and its citizens.
Its support for corrupt rule and rigged elections in Zimbabwe will be remembered for generations to come as a stain on our friendship as a people.
South African citizens don’t benefit from Zimbabwe’s collapse, it is only the business elites who get cheap labour and the political elites who get bribes.
South African citizens have to share social services like healthcare and social welfare with Zimbabweans. 
Zimbabweans would like to stay home and work for their country and only go to South Africa for holidays.
But it is the rigged elections that have pushed them to cross the crocodile-infested Limpopo River to survive.
As citizens of both countries, we should fight for better governance and accountability, and not allow the fake revolutionary nonsense that is used to loot and pillage both countries by the corrupt elite!
It is unthinkable that the ANC which had Secretary Generals like Alfred Nzo has now been reduced to a laughing stock that supports election theft and lies about the causes of Zimbabwe’s troubles.
As your president flies into Harare to be among a very few Heads of State who are celebrating a shambolic election, we know that you stand with us as a people.
We love you dearly and we understand the pressures created by illegal immigration on your quality of life.
Please help those of us fighting for a better Zimbabwe in Zimbabwe to succeed, we need your support.
Together we can end up with governments that respect the rule of law and are not driven by the corruption bug!
</blockquote>
South Africa President Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa was on Monday expected to be among a handful of Heads of State to attend President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s inauguration in Harare.

Zimbos, SAns Urged To Dump "Fake Revolutionary Parties" ZANU PF And ANC

The secretary-general of South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC), Fikile Mbalula, said Western countries should desist from meddling in Zimbabwe’s affairs but should respect the results from the recently-held Harmonised Elections.
Mbalula said the ANC rejects some preliminary reports on Zimbabwe’s elections, saying the party had sent its own observer mission to Zimbabwe, which will report on the elections, instead of relying on third parties.
Posting on X, Mbalula called upon Western countries to lift sanctions on Zimbabwe to allow the southern African country’s economy to flourish. He said:
<blockquote>
The ANC position discredits reports which contained glaringly broad, subjective claims and conclusions that were all based on indirect observation of the election.
We did send an observer mission as the ANC to Zimbabwe, this week will give us a report and we make our position clear with regard to the outcome of the Zim elections.
I support democracy, we need to support the democratic outcome and stop meddling in Zimbabwe’s affairs by way of seeking to subvert democratic outcomes, and lift sanctions so that Zimbabwe’s economy can flourish and Zimbabweans go and work in their country.
</blockquote>
Responding to accusations that he was biased towards ZANU PF, Mbalula said:
<blockquote>
I have not pronounced on the Zimbabwe election outcome. After the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission pronounced President Emmerson (Mnangagwa) I said ‘Viva’ that’s all.
ZANU PF is supported by Zimbabweans that is a fact, they pulled big rallies in that country.
</blockquote>
The SADC Observer Mission last week Zimbabwe’s Harmonised Elections fell short of the regional body’s guidelines on governance and democracy.

Zimbabwe 2023 Elections: South Africa's ANC Stands With ZANU PF

South African opposition leader, Mmusi Maimane, has blamed the ruling African National Congress (ANC) for the immigration crisis in that country by “enabling” corruption and oppression in Zimbabwe by the ZANU PF.
Maimane, who is the leader of Build One South Africa, made the remarks after the Pretoria High Court ruled that the termination of Zimbabwe Exemption Permits (ZEPs) was unconstitutional.
The ZEP permits were due to expire today, 30 June, by the South African Government had already given ZEP holders a further six months to regularise their stay or face deportation.
Maimane, who is a former leader of South Africa’s biggest opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), South Africa has a role to defend democracy in Zimbabwe. <a href="https://twitter.com/MmusiMaimane/status/1674298480804655105?s=20">He said</a>:
<blockquote>
The ANC government has for years enabled corruption and oppression in Zimbabwe by the ZANU PF.
How? They ignored rigged elections and farm invasions. Instead of putting out the fire next door, they gave Mugabe and Mnangagwa matches and paraffin.
The fire that burned created the immigration crisis we are living with. That South Africa is paying for.
The courts have no choice but to uphold refugee laws and the constitution. If we want to solve the immigration crisis we have to go directly to the root of the problem namely the dictatorship in Zimbabwe.
We must stop supporting elections that are not conducted in a free and fair environment, we must stop supporting elections that are rigged and we must stop allowing South African banks to be used by money laundering members of the Gold Mafia.
We cannot keep supporting ZANU PF because of what they did during the liberation struggle. They are now the oppressor.
We must be honest and direct with them and tell them that we cannot afford to keep paying the bill for their oppression and corruption. Time is up.
To solve this issue we need to make sure that there are free and fair elections in Zimbabwe in August. That doesn’t happen in August, it starts now.
South Africa has influence on Zimbabwe and we must use it, more than we use our influence on Russia and Ukraine because this is happening in our neighborhood…
The immigration crisis was caused by a democracy crisis in Zimbabwe. As a robust constitutional democracy, we have a role to advance democracy in Africa and to defend democracy in Zimbabwe.
To solve the immigration crisis in South Africa we must go directly to the source of the problem. We must treat the disease and not just the symptoms.
If the ANC government does not want to cut ties with ZANU PF and be non-aligned in Zimbabwe then we must vote for leaders who are not afraid and who are willing and able to hold leaders in neighboring countries accountable for the problems they create for South Africa.

ANC To Blame For Influx Of Zimbabweans Into South Africa - Maimane

South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC) has said illegal migrants are putting a heavy strain on the country’s fiscus with adverse effects on service delivery and high unemployment, among other things.
Mbalula made the remarks while addressing the ANC 9th Western Cape Provincial Conference over the weekend.
He said the issue of illegal migrants has been a ticking time bomb for the country. Mbalula said:
<blockquote>
Illegal immigrants put a heavy strain on the fiscus with adverse effects on service delivery, the overstretched health sector, high unemployment and poverty.
Illegal immigrants have been a ticking time bomb for the country, which has been an albatross of the ANC-led government to accelerate service delivery at a faster pace and the outbreak of violence as attested to by the violent attacks in Diepsloot on June 21.
</blockquote>
Mbalula implored communities to exercise restraint and avoid damage to property and life.
Last week Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi briefed the ANC’s national working committee (NWC) on migration.
He suggested changes to immigration policies, including amendment proposals on citizenship, immigration and refugee protection.
Mbalula said the ANC’s NWC noted the briefing and emphasised the need for a balance between national interests and international solidarity, particularly within the Pan-African context.
On 07 June, this year, Motsoaledi extended the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP), which would have expired at the end of June, to 31 December 2023.
The extension of the ZEP permit means that holders can enter and leave South Africa provided they comply with all other requirements for crossing the border.

ANC Says Illegal Immigrants A Burden On South Africa's Fiscus

A senior official of South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), has blamed the United States and the United Kingdom for the mass exodus of Zimbabweans from their country to South Africa.
Speaking at the party’s Western Cape elective conference on Saturday, 24 June, ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula said it looks as if all Zimbabweans have migrated to South Africa.
Mbalula said Zimbabweans are everywhere, from Gugulethu to Khayelitsha.
Gugulethu is a township in the Western Cape Province and is 15 km from Cape Town, while Khayelitsha is located on the Cape Flats in the City of Cape Town.
Mbalula claimed that Zimbabwe’s economic challenges that have resulted in mass emigration were caused by the U.S. and Britain. He said:
<blockquote>
Zimbabwe as a country has moved to South Africa. From Gugulethu to Khayelitsha, there is Zimbabwe there.
The whole country of Zimbabwe has moved to South Africa. And then we say to the Americans… the British, give Zimbabwe what they deserve.
Because you agreed in Lancaster that you will give them £40 billion for the land reform and redistribution programme.
</blockquote>
There have been clashes between South Africans and immigrants from other African countries.
Zimbabwean national <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Elvis_Nyathi">Mbodazwe Elvis Nyathi</a> was killed in a Xenophobic attack in Diepsloot Ext 1, northern Johannesburg on the night of 6 April 2022.
He was killed by a mob who were going around the neighbourhood demanding to see identity documents.
On Wednesday, 07 June, South Africa’s Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi extended the validity of the <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwean_Exemption_Permit_Visa">Zimbabwe Exemption Permit</a> (ZEP) dispensation.
He said the holder of a ZEP permit will be allowed to enter and exit South Africa, provided they comply with all entry or exit requirements.
ZEP holders would not be required to present an exemption permit or authorisation letter to remain in the country during the extension period.

Zimbabwe As A Country Has Moved To South Africa - ANC

South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC)’s secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has claimed that President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration has been implementing reforms but the West still wants CCC’s Nelson Chamisa to become Zimbabwe’s new president.
Addressing the ANC 9th Western Cape Provincial Conference on Saturday, 24 June, Mbalula said:
<blockquote>
(President) Mnangagwa brought some reforms in Zimbabwe, but they (the West) did not want those reforms because they want a man called (Nelson) Chamisa.
They want him there to be the leader; the new leader of a new Zimbabwe.
And then we say to the Americans and say to the British, give the Zimbabweans what they deserve, because you agreed in Lancaster that you will give them £40 billion for land reform and redistribution programme.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Chamisa kicked off his campaign ahead of the August 23 elections by addressing Zimbabweans based in South Africa.
Addressing a campaign rally in Johannesburg on Saturday, Chamisa pleaded with Zimbabweans in that country to support the CCC. He said:
<blockquote>
Lets us go back and mobilise, we count on you. We want you to help with resources, one rand or US$1 can make a huge difference.
Zambians did it, Malawians also did it, Kenyans also did it, they did it in DRC…if they are doing it, why can’t we also do it?
</blockquote>
In the 2018 elections, Chamisa lost to Mnangagwa by a narrow margin and he challenged the results in court alleging rigging.
However, Mnangagwa’s victory was upheld by the Constitutional Court.

West Wants Chamisa As Zimbabwe's Next President, Says Mbalula

South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC) has expelled former Secretary-General, Ace Magashule.
Magashule was found guilty of misconduct. He also failed to make submissions as to why he should not be expelled from the party after he was given seven days to do so.
In 2021, Magashule unilaterally attempted to suspend party president Cyril Ramaphosa and subsequently refused to apologise to the party’s president and its structures.
He was suspended from the ANC in the same year following corruption charges and was then forced to step aside in line with the ANC’s new rules for those facing corruption and other serious charges.
The ANC announced Magashule’s expulsion from the party in a statement released on Monday afternoon. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
1. The National Disciplinary Committee (NDC) of the African National Congress (ANC) met to deliberate on charges preferred against its former Secretary-General, Comrade Ace Magashule.
2. The NDC found Comrade Ace Magashule guilty of contravening Rules 25.17.12, 25.17.3, 12.1 and 12.2.20 of the ANC Constitution.
3. After a guilty verdict by the NDC, Comrade Ace Magashule was allowed to show cause why he should not be expelled from the ANC. Upon the lapse of seven (7) days, the NDC had not received any representations to that effect.
4. Consequently, the NDC confirmed the expulsion of comrade Ace Magashule from the ANC as a final sanction.
5. This statement is made public as provided for in paragraph 64 of Appendix 3 of the ANC Constitution.

SA: ANC Expels Former Secretary-General Ace Magashule

Journalist and filmmaker Hopewell Chin’ono has criticised South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC) party for suggesting that Zimbabwe’s economic challenges were caused by sanctions imposed by western countries.
The ANC’s newly elected Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula on Monday said their position on Zimbabwe remained that they do not support regime change.
Addressing the media at Nasrec in Johannesburg soon after he was confirmed ANC secretary-general, Mbalula said:
<blockquote>
We don’t subscribe to the idea of regime change in Zimbabwe. We need to campaign very hard to get things right because Zimbabweans are coming to our country in their numbers because something is not right in their own country.
Once that country becomes what it was, there will be no Zimbabwean here. So, the British and the Americans must think very hard about what they have done.
They must uplift the sanctions so that Zimbabwe can grow as an economy and not use sanctions to deepen the pain and impoverishment of Zimbabweans. The British know what they agreed to in Lancaster.
They must come to the party and invest in the compensation of Zimbabweans in the programme of land reform distribution.
</blockquote>
Responding to Mbalula’s remarks, Chin’ono said the ANC has no understanding of what is wrong in Zimbabwe. Chin’ono posted on Facebook:
<blockquote>
Dear South Africans
It is a pity that your ruling party has no understanding of what is wrong in Zimbabwe.
If the ANC continues with this attitude of supporting ZANU PF’s Corrupt Rule, be prepared for more Zimbabweans coming your way. The ANC has chosen propaganda over facts!
Fikile Mbalula has effectively said that the ANC will support rigged elections because he says they don’t want to see change in Zimbabwe.
That will also mean more illegal immigrants from Zimbabwe looking for a better future.
I am sure you now see what we have told you that your Government is the problem.
</blockquote>
Opposition leader Nelson Chamisa, who leads the Citizens Coalition for Change congratulated President Cyril Ramaphosa for being re-elected ANC president. He tweeted:
<blockquote>
Congratulations to HE Cyril Ramaphosa and Paul Mashatile for being elected President and Vice President of the ANC respectively.
I also congratulate my brother and Cde Mbalula Fikile for being elected Secretary General. Let us build a New Africa! Mayibuye iAfrica.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, ZANU PF director for information Tafadzwa Mugwadi expressed delight over the development across the Limpopo River. He said:
<blockquote>
The youthful vibrance in the ANC is plausible. The newly elected SG Cde Mbalula Fikile aka Mr Fixit has just sent regime change puppets and masters packing.
Don’t forget that H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa has been to Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing St over removal sanctions on Zimbabwe.

Hopewell Chin’ono Says ANC "Has No Understanding Of What Is Wrong In Zim"

The newly-elected secretary-general of South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), Fikile Mbalula, has said they will intensify assisting Zimbabwe to recover from decades of economic problems.
Addressing journalists in Joburg in his briefing in his new capacity as ANC secretary-general, Mbalula said:
<blockquote>
We must be very much concerned about what is happening in Zimbabwe, and what role we need to play. We do not subscribe to the idea of regime change in Zimbabwe.
We need to campaign very hard to get things right because Zimbabweans are coming to our country in their numbers.
Something is not right in their own country (and) we must support them. Once that country becomes what it was, there will be no Zimbabwean here.
So, the British must think very hard about what they have done, and the Americans. They must uplift the sanctions so that Zimbabwe can grow.
</blockquote>
Mbalula urged the British government to honour a promise it reportedly made to Zimbabwe to compensate white farmers whose land was expropriated for redistribution to landless black about two decades ago. He said:
<blockquote>
The British know what they agreed on in Lancaster. They must come to the party, and invest in the compensation of Zimbabwe in the programme of land redistribution. 
The 40 or something billion pounds they promised Mugabe and ZANU PF, they must come to the party and not use the land reform programme of ZANU PF as a scapegoat and run away.
They must come to the party, and Zimbabwe will be a better country. Zimbabweans never (used to) come into this country, which was the bread basket of the African continent. It was an economy that was alive, people were working in Zimbabwe.
Now you have Zimbabweans crossing (into South Africa), facing life and death … coming into our country because there is no life. Life is here in South Africa and that has burdened our economy.
As the ANC we will not agree in ideological terms, that Zimbabwe must be turned into a client State, next to us. So, we need to get that right.
We need to campaign for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara, and the Cuban people.

SA: Cyril Ramaphosa Returns As ANC Leader For The Second Term

A senior African National Congress (ANC) official has said the South African government cannot guarantee the safety of foreign nationals anymore.
ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe (pictured) made the remarks last week alleging that undocumented foreign nationals were to blame for various crimes in SA.
Mabe was addressing ANC members who were picketing at a police station in protest over increased crime allegedly committed by foreign nationals illegally residing in the country.
The chairperson of the Zimbabwe Community in SA, Ngqabutho Mabhena criticised Mabe for his utterances saying such comments may incite xenophobic attacks. He said:
<blockquote>
The constitution of South Africa guarantees the safety of any foreigner in the country and Mabe’s statement is just unfortunate.
The constitution is very clear on how those who are not documented should be treated.
As a spokesperson of the ruling party, Mabe should have realised the impact of his utterances although we believe that he said this out of excitement and not from the ANC point of view.
</blockquote>
On 6 April this year, a Zimbabwean, Elvis Nyathi was brutally assaulted and set on fire by a mob in Diepsloot, north of Johannesburg for not having a passport.
Critics say the ANC’s tough rhetoric against illegal immigrants, particularly Zimbabweans, has to do with the party’s election campaign following the rise of far-right fringe political parties and movements.

SA Cannot Guarantee The Safety Of Foreign Nationals Anymore - ANC

South Africa’s ruling ANC party Deputy Secretary General, Jessie Duarte, passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Duarte had been battling cancer for some time and had been on medical leave since November 2021.
She will be buried on Sunday afternoon in Johannesburg according to Muslim rites.
In a statement, ANC National Spokesperson, Pule Mabe described Duarte as the matriarch and pillar of her family. He said:
<blockquote>
The ANC expresses its heartfelt condolences to the Duarte, Dangor, and Whitley extended families, loved ones, and friends.
She was both a tower of strength to the organisation as well as a matriarch and pillar of her family.
The passing of Comrade Jessie is a great loss, not only to the family but to the democratic movement and the country as a whole.
As a committed internationalist and former diplomat, not only will she be mourned by South Africa, but by colleagues and comrades on the African continent and in the international progressive movement.
She dedicated her entire life to the struggle for a united, non-racial, non-sexist, democratic, prosperous, and just South Africa.
A committed gender activist, she relentlessly championed the emancipation and empowerment of women.
Her life and work reflected a consistent commitment to advancing the rights of the poor and marginalised.
</blockquote>
Duarte served as the Deputy Secretary General of the ANC since 2012 and a member of its National Executive Committee since 2002.

SA: ANC Deputy Secretary General Jessie Duarte Dies

South Africa’s Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said Zimbabweans and Basotho who were living in the neighbouring country under a special permit should regularise their stay as they cannot have different laws from everyone else.
Motsoaledi said his Government doesn’t know the exact number of illegal immigrants who are in the country with estimates ranging from 3.5 million to 5 million.
He, however, said the number of refugees and asylum seekers in South Africa are known. Speaking to Newsroom Afrika on Wednesday, Motsoaledi, said:
<blockquote>
We do have the number of people who are refugees in South Africa and those are under international protection. We have the numbers because we even give them IDs. We do have the number of asylum seekers in the country.
We know the number of people who are on a work visa, and the number of permanent residents because we report their names to parliament every year.
What we don’t know is the number of people who are illegal, if we knew them then they wouldn’t be illegal. They’re hiding, and don’t want to come out. They just arrived.
We believe it is normal for any human being when you arrive in any country to announce yourself and say I’m here and tell us what you’re looking for and we see how to help you.
Those who are illegal, how do we know their number because even organisations in SA, including StatsSA, are just doing estimates.
Some are saying the estimate is between 3.5 and 5 million people who are here illegally, but we don’t have such figures, how can we have them because somebody who is illegal is exactly that.
They’re doing something illegal and did not report themselves to anyone. Many of them don’t even want to be known.
</blockquote>
Motsoaledi clarified the issue of the special permit for foreign nationals that was discontinued when it expired on 31 December 2021 saying the permit was not given to Zimbabweans only but also nationals from other regional countries. He said:
I’m not going to be blackmailed into that because if I allow myself to be blackmailed, we’ll never be able to run the state.
The special permit was not only given to Zimbabweans, it was also given to Basotho and Angolans.
In 1998 only 11 000 people came to South Africa to ask for asylum, all of a sudden in 2008, the number changed to 207 000 and most people were from Zimbabwe, and the following year another 227 000.
<blockquote>
Within two years, we were faced with more than 400,000 people asking for asylum. The system was not designed for that, it was overrun and Home Affairs decided to give them special permits in order to deal with the situation.
We said the time has arrived that normal immigration laws must apply, so we’re not changing any law, immigration laws have always been there.
We’re saying they must apply like every other person who comes here. It can’t be that Zimbabweans and Basotho have got a different law to rule them when everyone else is under immigration laws.
</blockquote>
Late last year, South Africa’s cabinet announced that the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP) dispensation will no longer be renewed.
ZEP expired on 31 December but South Africa decided on a 12-month grace period to allow ZEP holders to apply for other permits appropriate to their particular status or situation.
Those who fail to acquire other visas will have to leave South Africa or be deported.

'South Africa Cannot Have Different Laws For Zimbabweans And Basotho'

South Africa’s Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has refuted claims Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP) holders will not qualify for any other visa and will have no other option but to leave the neighbouring country as a result.
Speaking to South African Television channel Newsroom Afrika on Wednesday, Motsoaledi said the South African Government has committed significant resources to process applications by ZEP holders. Said Motsoaledi:
<blockquote>
Who said they don’t qualify? How do they know they don’t qualify? If you know that you don’t qualify to be in a country, why do you stay?
They can’t force me to work outside the law, this country is not run on feelings of people, it is run by the law. We’ve got the constitution which must be respected by all.
</blockquote>
He also denied allegations that the ANC-led Government decided not to renew ZEP because it had its focus on the 2024 elections.
Far-right opposition political parties in South Africa as well Operation Dudula and other movements are calling for the deportation of all undocumented foreign nationals.
Motsoaledi insisted that the cancellation of the Special Zimbabwean Exemption Permit had nothing to do with the 2024 elections. He said:
<blockquote>
I’ve never once scapegoated any migrant, when we started planning ahead for the ZEP, there were no masses who were doing what they are doing. There was no Operation Dudula.
We started at the beginning of 2021 in January knowing the ZEP was going to expire in December. We’re not pandering to anybody, we’re just trying to manage our situation for our democracy.

Late last year, South Africa’s cabinet announced that the Zimbabwean Exemption Permit (ZEP) dispensation will no longer be renewed.
ZEP expired on 31 December but South Africa decided on a 12-month grace period to allow ZEP holders to apply for other permits appropriate to their particular status or situation.
Those who fail to acquire other visas will have to leave South Africa or be deported.

Motsoaledi: If You Know You Don’t Qualify To Be In SA, Why Stay?

Statement by African National Congress National Spokesperson Pule Mabe on the tragic death of the Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Jolidee Matongo.
<blockquote>
The African National Congress (ANC) is shocked and saddened by the tragic passing of the Executive Mayor of the City of Johannesburg, Comrade Jolidee Matongo.
Comrade Jolidee Matongo was involved in a car accident on Saturday evening, 18 September 2021, on his way from Soweto, where he spent the day campaigning for the Movement ahead of the Local Government Elections.
Comrade Jolidee was elected unopposed as Johannesburg Mayor last month, succeeding the late Mayor Geoff Makhubo.
Death has robbed the people of Johannesburg and the liberation movement of a selfless, dedicated and competent servant.
Comrade Jolidee cut his political teeth at the tender age of 13 while growing up in Dube, Soweto.
A fearless and committed youth and student activist, he was a member of the Soweto Student Congress and the Congress of South African Students (COSAS) and the ANC Youth League.
He served as the Regional Secretary of the ANC Youth League and was later elected Regional Chairperson in the Greater Johannesburg Region. Cde Jolidee has since served in the ANC Joburg Regional Executive Committee to date. 
He became the Regional Head of the Department of Information and Publicity and the Regional Spokesperson for the period of about eight years until he was appointed to the City of Joburg as the MMC of Finance by the late Executive Mayor Cllr. Moloantoa Geoff Makhubo.
His long and colourful track record as a public servant speaks for itself. The ANC dips its revolutionary banner in honour of this outstanding cadre and son of the soil.
We convey our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and the broader democratic movement.
We hope they will find solace in the knowledge that the whole nation shares in their grief.
We wish them strength and fortitude during this difficult time.
May his revolutionary soul find eternal peace

ANC Mourns Joburg Executive Mayor, Jolidee Matongo | FULL TEXT

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa received a hostile reception from angry residents of Soweto’s Nomzamo township on Saturday.
Ramaphosa and African National Congress (ANC) officials were in Soweto on the local government elections campaign trail where residents raised the issue of the unavailability of electricity.
While Ramaphosa was inside a home speaking to residents, outside Phangelani Msinyana said:
<blockquote>
The ANC can keep its electricity, we don’t want it anymore. Where was the ANC in the past three years when we didn’t have electricity?
All of these police officers that are here, where were they when members of the community were getting killed? Where were they? They must f*** off man!
They helped us a long time ago. They helped our mothers who were being beaten by the apartheid police.
Today you come here because you want our votes. We are not going to vote for you.
</blockquote>
Another resident, Ntombi Meji, said she was surprised by Ramaphosa’s visit. She said:
<blockquote>
Why did he surprise us? We are not happy at all. We want electricity, we cannot do anything without electricity.
Our children study under candlelight and they cannot watch TV.
</blockquote>
Responding to the community, Ramaphosa said electricity would be “priority number one” as a result of his visit. He said:
<blockquote>
We told Eskom to solve the electricity issue urgently. Next week they will send a contractor.
I want them to get on it next Tuesday. I told them that I want a report that will be sent to the premier and the mayor.
Do you promise that you will look after the electricity? Please do not lose hope, I will personally supervise that they solve this issue.
</blockquote>
Ramaphosa said he would also ask the police to investigate complaints about gunmen roaming the streets. He added:
<blockquote>
Please do not lose hope, we are not only here because it’s the elections. We want to remind you to go and register today and tomorrow.
If you do not vote, all of the issues you have raised will not be addressed because another party will be in charge and they will not address your concerns.
</blockquote>
ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe said the community’s concerns were valid. He said it was clear electricity was the biggest issue for Nomzamo voters, and there were plans to move responsibility for resolving the problem from Eskom to City Power.

Soweto Residents With No Electricity Give Ramaphosa A Hostile Reception

South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), and the main opposition, the Democratic Alliance (DA) have voiced their support for Kaizer Chiefs Football Club ahead of the club’s maiden CAF Champions League final appearance.
Amakhosi take on Egyptian giants, Al Ahly, which is managed by South African national, Pitso Mosimane, at the Stade Mohamed V, in Casablanca, Morocco, on Saturday night (tonight).
In a statement today, ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe called on Chiefs to “fight like true soldiers” and “heal the wounds of the last few days”, a reference to the looting and civil unrest that claimed the lives of over 200 people. Said Mabe:
<blockquote>The African National Congress (ANC) wishes one of South Africa’s glamour teams. Kaizer Chiefs, well, as they face Egyptian giants, Al Ahly in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Champions League Final in Morocco tonight.
The ANC is confident that Kaizer Chiefs will hoist the South African flag high and help to unite the nation and heal the wounds of the last few days.
We urge them to fight like true soldiers in defence of the pride and honour of their country.
We hope Kaizer Chiefs will be the third South African team after Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns to win this coveted continental trophy.
We call on all patriots to rally behind Amakhosi as they embark on this momentous journey.</blockquote>
In a short statement posted on their Twitter page, the DA also threw their weight behind Chiefs. The post read:
<blockquote>Going for gold! […] We would like to wish [Kaizer Chiefs] all the best tonight as they face Al Ahly for the CAF Champions League title. Sininqwenelela impumelelo makhosi amahle.</blockquote>

ANC, DA Rally Behind Kaizer Chiefs Ahead Of Champions League Final

South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC), has postponed its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting as top officials were set to move to KwaZulu-Natal to manage the deteriorating political situation in Nkandla, former president Jacob Zuma’s residence.
Zuma’s supporters were threatening violence if he was arrested and sent to jail as ordered by the Constitutional Court.
In a statement on Friday, the ANC said national leaders would work with provincial leaders to manage the situation in Nkandla. It said:
<blockquote>The meeting of the National Executive Committee scheduled for Saturday, 3 – Monday, 5 July 2021, has been postponed.
In arriving at this decision, the National Officials were mindful of the situation developing in KwaZulu-Natal and the need for the ANC to give clear and principled leadership to ensure the maintenance of the rule of law and to avoid any violence, injury, or loss of life.
NEC members will be deployed to KZN and will work with the provincial leadership in this regard.
The date for the NEC meeting will be communicated in due course.</blockquote>
The Concourt sentenced Zuma to 15 months imprisonment for contempt of court on Tuesday.
This came after the former president defied a Concourt that ordered him to appear before the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture, testify and ordered did not have a right to remain silent.
Earlier this week, KZN ANC chairperson and KZN Premier, Sihle Zikalala, warned that the sentencing of Zuma would have far-reaching consequences for South Africa.

ANC Calls Off NEC Meeting In Bid To Manage Zuma Ruling Fallout

South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC), has expressed concern over the ongoing violence in eSwatini where the government has resorted to brute force against pro-democracy protestors.
In a statement Wednesday, ANC International Relations Sub-Committee chairperson, Lindiwe Zulu called on SADC to intervene before the situation in the tiny kingdom escalates beyond control. Said, Zulu:
<blockquote>The African National Congress is deeply concerned about the strikes, riots and the growing instability in eSwatini, especially over the last few days.
The ANC reiterates its call for good governance and democracy in eSwatini. We call on the eSwatini government to work towards the normalisation of the political environment by unbanning opposition political and other parties, releasing political activists and engaging in meaningful dialogue with opposition parties, its citizens and trade unions to find a collective solution to the socio-economic circumstances in the country.
The use of security forces to quell political dissent and the failure to address legitimate civilian concerns complicates the conflict and adds fuel to the fire. Economic and political stability is further compromised.
We call on the government to heed this urgent call by moving away from autocracy, strong-handed crisis management and brutal repression of legitimate civilian concerns. We further call on SADC to be seized with this matter before it escalates beyond control.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the government of Eswatini has described the ongoing protests as criminal. Acting Prime Minister Themba Masuku has assured citizens of Eswatini and the international community that the situation will be returned to normal.

ANC Warns King Mswati Over Violent Crackdown On Protestors

A senior African National Congress (ANC) official, Carl Niehaus, has called on the party’s supporters to rally behind former president Jacob Zuma who was convicted on contempt of court charges by the country’s constitutional court Tuesday and sentenced to 15 months imprisonment.
In a video recording posted on his Twitter account, Niehaus castigated the ruling, calling it “outrageous, and fundamentally unacceptable”.

South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC) has mourned Kwaito star <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mojalefa_Mjokes_Matsane">Mojalefa Matsane</a> popularly known as Mjokes.
ANC said the Kwaito star died in the early hours of Sunday 23 May 2021 following a tragic car accident. We present below a statement issued by ANC on the passing of the Kwaito star.
<blockquote>ANC STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF KWAITO STAR MOJALEFA ‘MJOKES’ MATSANE
The African National Congress is deeply saddened by the untimely passing of renowned Kwaito Music star Mojalefa Matsane. Mjokes, as he was affectionately known in the music industry, was a member of the popular music group, Trompies, and a co-director of Kalawa Jazmee Records. He passed away in the early hours of this morning, Sunday 23 May 2021, following a tragic car accident.
Mjokes’s passing is a profound loss to the entire nation as he was one of the pathfinders of post-apartheid cultural expression. He was an activist in his own right and a talented musician with so much to give and live for. We call upon young South Africans to draw inspiration from the positive contribution that Mjokes made to society. The vibrant and positive spirit illustrated by his work is an example of how young people could and should use their diverse skills and abilities to contribute to the development of a better South Africa.
We express our sincere condolences to Matsana’s family, friends, colleagues and fans. May they find solace in knowing that their loss is the nation’s loss.</blockquote>

ANC Mourns Kwaito Star Mojalefa Mjokes Matsane

The former president of South Africa, Jacob Zuma has accused the <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/watch-live-zuma-appears-before-zondo-commission/">country’s Parliament of destroying unity and nation-building.</a>

WATCH: Zuma Accuses Parliament Of Destroying Unity

The leader of South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Sello Malema has said the conspiracy theories on COVID-19 vaccines which are being developed are baseless.
Malema also said if the “white people” wanted to kill Africans, the African continent would be without people since almost everything we consume is made in Western states.
He said African states are not developing their own COVID-19 vaccines giving room to conspiracy theories including one which says the vaccine is the mark of the beast “666.”
He also accused South Africa’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa of pretending to be taking action against the coronavirus.
Julius Malema said it is known that the virus came with white people yet South Africa is closing land borders when there is no fence to deter fellow Africans including Lesotho to come in.
The former ANC youth leader added that the coronavirus flood gates are still open as “white people” still have access into South Africa.
Malema also castigated the “South Africa First” movement which advocates for banning other Africans from getting into South Africa for employment saying Africa was one.

Julius Malema Speaks On COVID-19 Vaccine, 666

South Africa’s ruling African National Congress (ANC) senior officials are not happy with ZANU PF over what they consider to be “threats and blackmail” by Zimbabwe’s ruling party.
This comes after ZANU PF director of information Tafadzwa Mugwadi threatened to drop a bombshell and expose ANC’s alleged sinister agenda which necessitated its two visits to Harare last year.
Responding to Mugwadi’s threats, ANC national chairman Gwede Mantashe said he doesn’t “like” ZANU PF’s antics and challenged the former liberation movement to “spill the beans”. Mantashe tweeted:
<blockquote>You can’t always have a neighbour that is always blackmailing you.
This relationship with Zimbabwe (Zanu PF) is always filled with threats and blackmail.
I don’t like that. If Zanu PF wants to spill the beans on our meeting with them, they must.
I am eager to hear what they want to spill.</blockquote>
South Africa’s outspoken Finance minister Tito Mboweni also tweeted, saying he wished President Cyril Ramaphosa gave him permission to deal with “that turncoat” Tafadzwa Mugwadi. Added Mboweni:
<blockquote>In fact, ANC chairperson, @GwedeMantashe1 should have said that the relationship is abusive! This must be stopped! It must end!</blockquote>
Meanwhile, in a statement on Sunday, Zanu PF spokesperson Simon Khaya Moyo said the party would take disciplinary action against Mugwadi over his “mischievous and unpatriotic” remarks.

ANC 'Tired' Of ZANU PF Blackmail - Mantashe

Zimbabwean Central Intelligence Organization (CIO) is reportedly investigating evidence that South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa is reportedly sponsoring the opposition leader Nelson Chamisa, The Star reports.
According to the publication, Ramaphosa is being accused of trying to destabilize Zimbabwe by sponsoring the opposition. The development was reportedly revealed by ANC Chairperson Gwede Mantashe as he was accusing Zanu PF of blackmailing the ANC.
Mantashe also dared Mugwadi who threatened to leak a bombshell on the ANC’s visit to Harare, to drop the bombshell and said:
<blockquote>You can’t always have a neighbour that is always blackmailing you. This relationship with Zimbabwe (ZANU PF) is always filled with threats and blackmail. I don’t like that.

CIO Investigating Evidence That Ramaphosa Is Sponsoring Nelson Chamisa - Report

South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC) has in its congratulatory message to the United States’ president-elect, Joe Biden, called for the removal of sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe.
The message comes after Biden has beaten outgoing president Donald Trump in this year’s election to win the presidency.
The sanctions were imposed on Zimbabwe two decades ago following the controversial fast track land reform programme which displaced some of the white farmers in the Southern African country.
Zimbabwean authorities, the Southern African Development Community and Africa at large believe the sanctions are adversely affecting the general populace by hampering national economic growth.
The ANC Women’s League (ANCWL) secretary-general Meokgo Matuba in the wing’s congratulatory message to the US Vice President-elect Harris, the first Indian American and first female to clinch the powerful post, said: 
<blockquote>
Harris as the Vice-President of the US must be the voice of reason against white supremacy, patriarchy and male chauvinism in the US and across the globe. Serving under President Joe Biden, she must also be at the frontline to fight against imperialism and among others call for an end to the illegal occupation of Palestine land by Israel, an end of sanctions against Zimbabwe, Cuba and many other countries.
</blockquote>
It remains to be seen whether or not the Biden administration would alter its foreign policy against Zimbabwe.

ANC Tells Biden To Remove Sanctions On Zimbabwe

Ibbo Mandaza, a Harare-based academic, has scoffed at South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC) international relations head Lindiwe Zulu’s remarks about the recent visit by the party’s officials to Zimbabwe.
Zulu had said the trip by ANC officials on a South African National Defence Force aircraft to Harare achieved a lot of what was intended.
However, speaking during the online seminar on lessons the ANC can learn from post-colonial Zimbabwe, Mandaza said:
<blockquote>Lindiwe exaggerates the role of former liberation movements, unnecessarily so.
Whether it’s a public relations stance, I don’t know. She must know, as we all know, that Zanu-PF is a heavily dented party.
It is completely naïve and self-indulgent on the part of anybody, including herself, to think that Zanu-PF can turn around Zimbabwe’s fortunes.</blockquote>
The ANC is yet to pay back the money for using the defence force aircraft as its private jet, as it has promised to do.
It has also still not arranged to meet any Zimbabwean political players other than ZANU PF as it promised.

Lindiwe Zulu Exaggerates Role Of Former Liberation Movements - Mandaza

South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress (ANC) has justified its trip to Zimbabwe amid criticism from opposition parties that ANC members had abused state resources.
Speaking during an online seminar organised by the ANC’s OR Tambo School of Leadership on Wednesday night, South Africa’s Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu said the party had no choice. She said:
<blockquote>There was no other way that we could have gone there.</blockquote>
She also echoed the remarks of ZANU PF secretary for Administration, Obert Mpofu who said the meeting was “open, honest, frank – both ways.”
An ANC delegation visited Zimbabwe “hitchhiking” a ride on an Air Force jet earlier this month to meet their counterparts in Zanu PF.
The visit was preceded by reports of human rights violations in Zimbabwe which had prompted President Cyril Ramaphosa to send special envoys to have an assessment of the situation.
Opposition parties were saying the ANC used state resources for party activities. The party however <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/09/15/anc-to-pay-full-cost-of-airforce-jet-lift-for-zimbabwe-trip/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pledged to reimburse the State for the costs incurred.</a>

ANC Justifies Trip To Meet ZANU PF

Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) chairman, Christopher Mutsvangwa has said reports he called “social media shananigans” that there is bad blood between the ANC and Zanu PF are just treacherous work of Zanu PF opposers and they are not true because the bond between Zanu PF and the ANC is strong, The Sunday Mail reports.
Speaking to the publication, the fluent Mtsvangwa said:
<blockquote>The MDC and G40-Gamatox are trying to forge a shot-gun marriage with the ANC. This is a forlorn and stillbirth adventure. It is riding on inclinations of treachery and bribery by dark forces that have a history and habit of plundering Africa’s bountiful resources. The two sister liberation movements — ANC and ZANU PF are not novices to these shenanigans.
The unflinching self-sacrifice for the just cause of the majority has ensured that they both remain loyal and principled to the cause. The bonds forged, tried and tested in the trenches of the armed struggle against racist and apartheid settler minority regimes bind us to political eternity
It is now more than two decades that they have been in power after defeating apartheid. Zimbabwe has repeatedly been shielded from the depredations of the time-proven enemies of African freedom and progress</blockquote>
While addressing the same issue last week, President Mnangagwa said he constantly speaks to President Ramaphosa and that should put stories of the rift between the 2 parties to bed. The ANC has not responded or addressed the stories of there being a rift between the 2 parties.
