Francesca Albanese tells the world there has not been a single day of ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza 🇵🇸:

‘There is no ceasefire for Palestinians 🇵🇸’
‘Ceasefire’ is a word for people to remain indifferent to the suffering’
‘We won’t let them remain in their comfort zone’

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

South Africa’s Ramaphosa calls out Trump’s bullying after he skips G20 in SA

'It cannot be that a country's geographical location, income level or army determines who has a voice and who is spoken down to'

'There should be no bullying of one nation by another. We are all equal'

We know what Trump and his Zionist allies are after.

What’s called “Western civilisation” is a legacy shaped by extraction, conquest, and accumulation through violence.

Stay out of Africa.

American woman does a social experiment where she called 20 churches in urgent need of baby formula. They all say no, or can’t help.

She then calls a mosque. Their response:

“Where are you located? What type of formula do you need?”

PICK N PAY BOSS SLAMS GAMBLING ADS

Pick n Pay CEO Sean Summers has called for a nationwide ban on online gambling advertising, warning that unchecked betting is draining South Africa’s economy and hurting families.

Speaking during the retailer’s annual results presentation, Summers said gambling has siphoned around R70-billion from consumers in just one year, diverting money away from essentials like food.

He likened the problem to the tobacco crisis of the past, urging authorities to act decisively.

Regulators and advocacy groups have echoed his concerns, pushing for stricter rules to protect young people and vulnerable households as online gambling continues to grow despite limited oversight.
