It is great to see the team on the ground working with the communities in #Matataiele by my brother from another Mother #skhumbuzo winning hearts and minds for Action SA.

#ActionSA2024Project unfolding nicely in KwaZulu-Natal.

The only time a #spear means anything is when it like a bullet takes a life. Perhaps some of the Amabutho will think twice about protecting a man that has failed Zulu culture, its daughters and sons many times over. Especially with capture of #nkansla

Desperation tactics to draw attention to their terrorist manifesto. Unfortunately, many of us across Africa have seen how the youth are psychologically manipulated into matyrdom. To give up their last breathe to those who profit financially from their deaths. #Insurgency #COIN

It's not so much how the court rulings that hurt #Iqbal, but rather the unseen creditors in all of his back door deals that he has to placate, and these kind of creditors are shy about collecting via more robust and punitive methods. Think Race Horses

This comes as no surprise, as he was the back up to support #Zuma in the event that the #Gupta and Co failed to keep Zuma in the manner he was used to. His role with that of now deceased #Tinajoemattpeyersen was to wreck Indigenous community rights.

Public servants, in their own self-interest, should be doing more to fight corruption, incompetence and populism, writes William Gumede. https://t.co/8QRbIVuFjf

Jacob Zuma will go down in history as the first South African president to have willingly betrayed his own country in service to foreign nationals. His acts of corruption will be taught in history books for generations to come and the name “Zuma” will become synonymous with corruption.

Good for you, Sir. #Zuma is strategy is to draw the original MK comrades and MK wannabees into his fold to counter his dying relevance. The rank & file MK members may have forgotten under his watch the Military Veteran Department fell into corruption and a litany of poor service

Unlike Zuma, I have not joined any other party, and I have no intention of doing so.

Despite South Africa needing R334 billion annually for a full renewable energy transition and the continent requiring $2.8 trillion (2020-2030) for climate action, funding remains a challenge.

@a_anusauskas Great #Lithuania. Sustained support from #Baltic states is crucial, and the more that Lithuania provides to #Ukraine, the better. As a country that experienced firsthand the brutality of #Soviet #communism your support can save the future generations from the evil of #Russia

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

U.S. Defense Officials have told the Israeli Government that U.S. Naval Ships in the Eastern Mediterranean will be used to Shoot Down Missiles that are launched by Hezbollah in Lebanon and that U.S. Forces across the Middle East will Target a number of Pro-Iranian Groups in Syria and Iraq if this Escalates into a Regional Conflict.

Unfortunately, my own country, #SouthAfrica does not support #Israel

Croatia
Cyprus
Czechia
EU
France

[Ambassador Michael Herzog @AmbHerzog]

Israel is under attack.

Several hours ago, Hamas - a U.S. and E.U. designated terror organization - launched an unprovoked, massive terror attack on Israeli civilian populated areas, including mass firing of rockets and infiltrations into Israeli towns from the Gaza Strip.

This offensive was launched while Israelis were celebrating a religious Jewish holiday.

The attack cannot and will not go unanswered, and we expect the free world to unequivocally condemn it and support Israel's right to self defense.

[Israel Defense Forces @IDF]

⚔️Swords of Iron⚔️

The IDF is initiating a large-scale operation to defend Israeli civilians against the combined attack launched against Israel by Hamas this morning.
