Dear @tito_mboweni, if you want debate on Nationalisation of Mines, Land and natural resources, please say so. Your tweet is populist and misleading. You know this, why do you do this? In a few tweets, I will back up my bold statement. THREAD BELOW.
1. You know that one of the first pieces of legislation #Mandela signed was nationalisation of mines. You know that the State owns ALL mines in South Africa. Mining companies get prospecting and mining licenses from @DMR_SA. Please explain what conditions DMR has put in place?
2. If @DMR_SA has the power and authority to issue mining licenses, what mechanisms are in place to ensure that there is adequate provision for people who live in mining communities to have meaningful stake and adequate protection from capricious companies, international & local?
3. Surely, when you were in Cabinet, a Governor and in @MYANC leadership, you had opportunity to review legislation, policies and implementation. I’ve never read any assessment penned by you on these issues. Why now?
4. Can you please break down the structure of mining ownership today? How much is owned by international companies? How much is owned by BEE? How much is owned or benefits local communities?
5. You were part of the High Level Panel. My Comrade, please direct me to your contributions in the HLP, not the report. What exactly was your position on ‘black people and farming’? Caution: I will look at transcripts & archives.
6. If you feel so strongly about land will you fund cases of communities whose land and rights are undermined by traditional leaders + mining companies + political elites, as we speak. Just 3 communities. I don’t want to overload you @tito_mboweni.
7. HLP recommended change of Ingonyama Trust Act. Communal Land Rights Bill (2015) recommended same (and then it was dropped). The Portfolio Committee in 2016 said the same. Will you help champion this important intervention? @tito_mboweni
8. On Commercial white owned farms. Please help us with this exercise. An analysis of ownership structure of each farm is important. Do you have it? If you do, will you please share it this platform? Thank you. @tito_mboweni

1. Dali, I read your article on the “Indian Question in South Africa”. It is quite an involved subject which needs thorough engagement. It’s not my core business, so I am not going to write on it. However, I offer this thread as my response and public record. @AdvDali_Mpofu
2 I agree with you on the “Black people in general and African people in particular”, this is premise from which your article is based. However, this is not at issue in the debate, at least not for me. So, I’ll focus on the issues that are relevant to me.
2. At issue were specific comments made by @FloydShivambu. I listened to the PMG Live recording several times. It is my position that Shivambu was anti Indian, racist, divisive and demagoguery. Demagogues do not invent issues, they cast them in populist ways, as Floyd did.

1. Noby Ngombane opened the front door to his assasin with his 5 year old daughter, Zandile next to him. 13 years later, urged by her mother, Nokwanda to check on her, I found her hanging in her room on 9/05/2018. She was 1st year student @ AFDA, in CT. #ZandileNgombane #Suicide
2. The young woman hanging in that little room was, silent. On Friday 4/05/2018, we hung out together. In my B&B room, had deep conversation about her dreams & her family. Our discussion on semiotics of film & feminism was passionate & incredibly stimulating. #ZandileNgombane
3. I gave her my Mac and asked her to google a number of authors. She was 18. She’d read a lot for her age. Her eyes widened, as she discovered names and theories that were new to her. Shortly before 10pm, I put her in an Uber & she left. #ZandileNgombane

1. Any political party which considers @PatriciaDeLille an assert had better observe her record. When she left PAC, she undermined them. She started and left (a crippled) ID in pursuit of her own interests. @Our_DA is destructive but she is no less, so. Principle or egos?
2. It’s important to study the function of patriarchy & race in @PatriciaDeLille’s struggles with political parties. What lessons can we learn from her experiences? Equally, it would be disingenuous to overlook De Lille’s leadership style and politics.
3. During her tenure as Mayor of CT @PatriciaDeLille has not pushed a pro poor agenda. In fact, she has been very comfortable with @Our_DA’s race, class and gender politics. She didn’t just toe the line, she was part of defining that line. You don’t believe me?
