You have your say
Joe Slovo Street, formerly known as Field Street, in Durban’s CBD came to a complete standstill yesterday as thousands of protesters gathered outside the HOMii building after a pair of twins fell down the building’s lift shaft earlier this month, resulting in death of Aphelele Dlamini and his sister Aphile fighting for her life in hospital.

Dozens of compassionate souls gathered outside the HOMii Flats in Durban CBD on Monday, united in their call for justice for the Dlamini twins. Tragically, on October 18, one twin lost their life in a horrific lift accident, while the other remains in critical condition, fighting for her life:
* Kay-Charles Naidoo – Rest in peace little angels. The public should hold the building owners accountable for the accident and death of two innocent children. Damaging and littering should stop and honour the lives of the children.
* Casey-Dolphin Cronje – The fact that Homii has failed this family so many times and had the audacity to offer a bag with groceries as if that is gonna wipe away the loss they have caused is beyond disgusting. I pray for this family and I pray we never stop seeking justice for them.
* Tozi Gumbi – Siyabonga bahlali basethekwini.
* Nirvesh Bhugwandeen – To the aunties bashing the parents. The elevator was not cordoned off as per safety requirements, nor was the elevator door locked. When the father decided to take action, the owner then scrambled and put up barrier tape on the elevator to make it seem like something was in place to warn the public. So please stop blaming the parents and get the whole story before commenting. I applaud all those people protesting outside that building.
A collective of prominent Afrikaans-speaking South Africans has boldly rejected the US government’s recent move to prioritise white South Africans for refugee status. They label this narrative as “dangerous and false,” asserting that it misrepresents their identity and history.
* Emile Mohare – We are living nicely together here, we have enough land for all of us. God gave us a great country. Why go somewhere when you can build your own castle here? These are our brothers and sisters. History made us to live together.
Former President Jacob Zuma is set to challenge a recent Gauteng High Court ruling that orders him to repay R28.9 million in legal fees. The JG Zuma Foundation has expressed deep disappointment, arguing that the judgment undermines constitutional fairness.
* Sedick Gydien – Why doesn’t he just ask Mpofu for a refund.
* Magoshu Selala – Zuma always in court.
* Ted Singh – Here’s a person who was on his death bed but perfectly well to be in court always. Sadly with no resources! Shame for u.
