Roger Jardine and his party will not be contesting. I did say this whole thing was a rush job. Money is not the only important thing in politics, you need to be on the ground, you need to have quality ideas and you need to be ready to compete. The streets are not a boardroom.

What is the alternative on the table especially now in South Africa in the run up to the elections? The Good Party has endorsed a permanent UBI, ActionSA a time bound but comprehensive, universal UBI. What are the other parties' options, what are you saying to 12 million jobless?

#universalbasicincome #socialpolicyinitiative #Amnestyinternational I am honoured to be part of the launch of the new report: Informal Cross- border traders in Southern Africa. Time to revisit the #SADCUBI campaign, Building resilience, building wealth.

Now Treasury's German consultants are saying what i have been saying for ages that collapse in coal plants started not under JZ but in 2018 when CR becomes president. 95% of energy shed since 2007 has happened since 2018. This is just facts. No politics.

📢 Tomorrow is #HumanRightsDay ✊ Our teams will be out and about, doing what they do best... 🧵 📌 First up, we will of course have a stand in #ActivismRow at the Constitution Hill SA Human Rights Festival. We invite you to meet-and-greet our people, ask questions, and get resources.

Excellent advice, including for South Africa facing a perfect storm of crises from poverty and inequality, unemployment, energy, water- NOW is the time to ACT. Start with a Universal Basic Income, stimulate the failing economy and put bread on tables, & THEN rebuild. #SPI #UBI

Be Honest- people across the globe have proven that #UBI works on so many fronts, filling huge holes of EXISTING, FAILING policies. Just Be Honest!

There are so many successful examples of policies that are crafted to achieve the two things we need so urgently in SA: stimulate the economy and meet basic needs. #UBI #SocialPolicyInitative

And UBI respects people's rights to choose how to meet their needs, not be passive recipients of handouts. BUT UBI must be part of universal public goods, quality state provided education and health care, and if needed, social housing.

Download the paper on spi.net.za: this approach models a 96% self - financing UBI of R1 500 per person - no conditions, no targeting: the best economic stimulus to get the economy working with over 5% GDP growth, end poverty and create real jobs.

Yes, this about says it all. Relegating ending poverty to second place is at least honest. Prioritising growth only benefits elites in SA - what trickle down with 42% unemployment? All basic food items are already VAT exempt. Exempt medicines and data maybe?

There is a Dire Need to Create New Realities to Combat rising Poverty and Inequality, especially to meet the Dreams of the Youth. open.substack.com/pub/isobelfrye…
