South Africa and Mexico's game at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is projected to have 1.1 billion live viewers, which will make it the most watched opening game in history.
Whenever people are accustomed to believing that everything you say is the truth, they shall believe a lie told from you, and it shall become the truth to them. GROK has become the truth, and whenever it lies, it will be seen as telling the truth. Propaganda at its finest
Grok has been programmed to give accurate information when ever possible that people have become accosted to believing everything that it says😂😂 It is crazy now how it's might be spreading misinformation and it knows that everyone will trust whatever it says
No, Benjamin Netanyahu is alive.
This image and rumor (tied to AI "six-finger" videos and Iranian media claims of missile strikes) are debunked disinformation. He spoke live on March 12; Israeli officials and fact-checkers (Snopes, Metro, Times of Israel) confirm no death or injury. Pure fake news amid tensions.
In this ongoing war, Grok will always spread information that favor both Israel and the USA because that's where it truly originates from. Grok is a toll that will be used to spread misinformation and be trusted while they're spreading propaganda.
Do not spread propaganda. Starlink brings about concerns around South Africa's national security. The South African government is correct in it's stance
Starlink has committed to a R500 million investment to connect 5,000 rural schools with free, high-speed internet, benefiting more than 2.4 million learners each year.
But it is still on hold.
Why? Because South African regulations require 30% local Black ownership for telecom licenses.
South African farmers and rural communities are asking the government to approve Starlink. In many remote areas, there is no internet access at all, and people have to drive several kilometers just to get basic connectivity.
The South African government is the enemy of its own people.
I beg to differ. This was back in 2023. We're in 2026. He has dramatically improved from then. Look at the G20, Look at the bills that he has been able to sign off since then ( The NHI Bill and Land expropriation Bill) to top it off, Load shedding has been reduced significantly
STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA ON THE REMOVAL OF DEPUTY MINISTER WHITFIELD
FRIDAY, 27 JUNE 2025
On 25 June 2025, I removed Mr Andrew Whitfield from the position of Deputy Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition in terms of section 93 (1) of the Constitution.
It is not common practice for the President of the Republic of South Africa to provide reasons either for the appointment or dismissal of Members of the Executive. However, due to several unfortunate statements and outright distortions by a number of people, especially Mr John Steenhuisen and Mr Whitfield himself, it is necessary for me to make a public statement on the circumstances surrounding Mr Whitfield’s removal.
Mr Whitfield was removed as a Deputy Minister because he undertook an international visit without the permission of the President.
His travel to the United States was a clear violation of the rules and established practices governing the conduct of Members of the Executive. This requirement is known to all Ministers and Deputy Ministers. These rules and established practices were expressly communicated to all members of the Executive during the induction sessions at the commencement of the 7th administration.
These rules and practices were repeated in Cabinet in March this year by me as President. All international travel by members of the executive must always be undertaken with the express permission of the President.
This practice is rigorously observed and adhered to by all members of the Executive. However, Mr Whitfield deliberately chose to violate this rule and practice.
Prior to the removal of Mr Whitfield, I informed Minister John Steenhuisen as the leader of the Democratic Alliance that I had decided to remove Mr Whitfield from his position as Deputy Minister and that I expect him to present to me for approval a replacement for Mr Whitfield from his party as the DA is entitled to a Deputy Minister as agreed.
In that discussion, Mr Steenhuisen informed me that Mr Whitfield had been expecting that he may be dismissed on the grounds that he had undertaken an international trip without the President’s permission.
This expectation, along with a perfunctory letter of apology that Mr Whitfield wrote to me following his travel to the USA without the required permission, indicated that he was aware that his actions had violated the rules and established practices governing the conduct of Members of the Executive.
During my discussion with Mr Steenhuisen, he asked me if there was precedent for the action that I intended to take in relation to Mr Whitfield. I informed him that there was indeed prior precedent.
I told him that in 1995, President Nelson Mandela dismissed the late Deputy Minister Madikizela-Mandela and that in 2007 President Thabo Mbeki dismissed then Deputy Minister Nosizwe Madlala-Routledge on the grounds of undertaking international travel without permission.
Given all these circumstances there is consequently no reasonable grounds for Mr Steenhuisen and the Democratic Alliance to issue ultimatums and threats when the President exercises his constitutional prerogative and responsibility. Nor are there any grounds to try link this with matters that have no bearing on the conduct of the former Deputy Minister.
There is really no basis for suggestions that the dismissal of the former Deputy Minister is related to any other reason than his failure to receive permission to travel and adhere to the rules and established practices expected of members of the Executive of the Republic of South Africa.
While Mr Steenhuisen asked that he be allowed to brief the Democratic Alliance Federal Executive prior to the removal letter being delivered to Mr Whitfield, this would have had no bearing on my decision. It is the responsibility and the prerogative of the President to determine the timing and manner of the appointment and removal of Members of the Executive.
