Earlier in the day, IFP president Velenkosini Hlabisa lashed out at cabinet ministers for relaxing Covid-19 regulations. He said mixed messages on the regulations have caused panic and anxiety in SA and called for the regulations to not be “bent and modelled according to the needs of industries”. On Friday, Mbalula said the adjustments in the regulations for the minibus taxi industry are necessary as they were informed by “conditions on the ground”.

On aviation, Mbalula said on Wednesday the department sent back a charter aircraft from Harare, Zimbabwe, which entered SA airspace and landed at OR Tambo International Airport without proper authorisation. The matter is being investigated.

Nonsensical explanation when compared with - NO solo jogging/dog walking, Tobacco Sales & alcohol ! 💭

Simple: he's taking a kickback

Mbalula is sooooo disorientated...

somebody any body please tell me why is metal industries benefit funds Administrators (MIBFA) closed? The president stated that all Essential financial payment services will be operational. We are starving.

Where is he not wearing any mask

Taxi Mafia rules....

What is the the breakeven number of passengers for a taxi? Why bother to go an a route if you are not making money?

It defeats the whole LockdownSA and SocialDistanacing principle. But hell, it's MbalulaFikile.

MbalulaFikile Mr Fearfokkol really knows Fokkol and does Fokkol except try to look cool, but ends up looking like a too old child. He is a useless member of the Cabinet

4 reasons why the HUAWEI Y7p is our favourite smartphone this seasonThe HUAWEI Y7p packs a 48MP AI Triple Camera, a stylish design and provides solid performance, and as a bonus: it won't break the bank either. But you can have 4, on the p40 lite :? So you still reckon we should use Huawei without fear of otherworldly interruptions? While the price is good, there will be many features you are not getting in comparison to a p40 lite. Even my p20lite has better features than the Y7P and its 2 years old. My value was R2499 thanks to contract :) and it sold at more than double the value in 2018;

Clive Barker explains why he took Doctor Khumalo off against BrazilFormer Bafana Bafana coach Clive Barker has said explained he infamously took off Doctor Khumalo in that 3-2 friendly loss to Brazil in 1996 because the midfield star was flat in the second half after of a long-haul flight from the US. & how is this still relevant? In my opinion Mr Barker was supposed to be SAFA President right after he left Bafana, I believe we would have kept our style and culture of Foot ball. Now we have Politician and someone who never played soccer as Our SAFA President. We will never ever win anything ever again nxa
