Whenever Twitter has you in your feelings, remember this: MK has not even named a Joburg mayoral candidate, and that empty chair will still outvote Rise Mzansi, BOSA, Good, IFP and the VF+ combined. The timeline is not the country.

12/12 The “at least he’s not Zuma” defence is exactly what his campaigners want you to say. It sets the floor so low that survival looks like success. Cyril Ramaphosa is not a lesser evil. He is the continuity candidate of a captured state - better dressed, better spoken, and no less destructive. The data says so. The record says so. Worst. President. Full stop.

10/12 His entire presidency has followed this pattern. Announce. Commission. Convene. Delay. Deflect. Operation Vulindlela. NHI. Spectrum. Land reform. GBV response. Crime. Frameworks without function. Summits without solutions.

9/12 THE RENEWALIST CON He launched the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) - $8.5 billion in climate financing pledged by wealthy nations. By mid-2024, disbursement had been glacial, conditionalities were contested, and Eskom’s coal fleet continued operating at full capacity. The announcement was the product. Not the outcome.

@nkewuernest5068 The political strategy is to secure 1-2 seats and then become a kingmaker / puppet mayor for the ANC / EFF / Action SA coalition.

Lukhona Mnguni is running against Helen Zille. Not the ANC. Ask yourself why. (1/8) Let’s be honest about Lukhona Mnguni. Of every name on the 2026 Joburg mayoral ballot, he is the single most unqualified. No municipal experience. No executive experience. No budget ever managed. No department ever run. No coalition ever held together. The CV is: COPE youth member, PhD intern, TV pundit, think tank policy head. That is not a mayor. That is a guest panellist with ambition.

@NtsuntsuMolete @rakgoshi Engage the substance abeg - I’m very unemotional about my analysis. Receipts are in the thread. Challenge them.

(8/8) The pitch is “incorruptible.” The translation is “untested.” You cannot be incorruptible at a job you have never done. Joburg doesn’t need another candidate learning the role on the job. It is in crisis and needs experience. Mnguni simply does not, and his whole campaign is yelling about Zille to make you forget that. He’ll squabbling with UDM for 1-2 seats.

(7/8) This is what Mnguni actually trying to be: a fong-kong Zoran Mamdani. Same script. Young-ish, articulate, media-trained, ideologically vague, donor-friendly, running on vibes and “clean up the city,” with zero administrative record and a coalition behind him that lost its last election. Mamdani at least won a primary in the largest city on earth. Mnguni is being handed a candidacy by a party that has two MPs and one MPL. It is the discount version of a movement that doesn’t exist here.

(6/8) There is a receipt. In 2012, Mnguni ran to the Human Rights Commission because Zille called Eastern Cape pupils “refugees” for crossing into the Western Cape for better schools. He was outraged at the suggestion that Eastern Cape people were outsiders in a province they had moved to. Fourteen years later, he is the Eastern Cape man telling a Joburg resident she is an outsider in a city she moved to. The principle was never the principle. The principle was Zille.

(5/8) Then comes the masterpiece. Mnguni calls Zille a “misfit” and an “import” in Johannesburg. Lukhona Mnguni was born in Flagstaff, Eastern Cape. He moved to Joburg roughly a decade ago. Zille has lived in Johannesburg longer than he has been alive in this city. He is, by his own definition, the import. He is the cultural misfit telling the actual long-term Joburger she doesn’t belong. You cannot make this up.
