EFF Member of Parliament, Hon @SihleLonzi, delivered a powerful Freedom Day debate:
—When Oliver Tambo carried the struggle into exile in Lusaka, Dar es Salaam, and Maputo, he did not only find refuge but solidarity. This is because the struggle of South Africa was never isolated from the continent. Today, the real and genuine frustrations of our people are being redirected, away from those who own the land.

“One of the hopeful things I have discovered, is that nearly every war that had started in the past 50 years, has been a result of media lies”…

Rubio: Imagine if Iran funded the well-being of its people, rather than its military
Trump, two days later: We can’t fund daycare or Medicaid, we need more money for our military
Jewish Rabbi: "Christians will live by the sword and serve the Jews. Christians are our broom. They will worship us"
Many Christians support Zionism and seriously believe there’s a ‘Muslim’ problem... and they need to go fight wars on behalf of the Jews.

Even the New York Times, thousands of miles away from Africa, is reporting that the Africa Cup of Nations tournament was allegedly expected to be “rigged” in favour of Morocco before a ball was even kicked.
Morocco, a team that failed to prevail on the pitch, ultimately prevailed in Mr Patrice Motsepe’s appeals committee and has now been declared the winner two months after the final was played.
@CAF_Online has truly embarrassed Africa, reducing the continent to a laughing stock in the eyes of the world and football community. The world is laughing at Africa.
Even the former CAF Disciplinary Committee chairman, respected arbitrator at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and current chairman of the PSL Disciplinary Committee, Raymond Hack, has dismissed the decision as a joke in an interview with Robert Marawa, further exposing the extent to which this saga has undermined the credibility of African football governance. Shameless!!
🇬🇧🇮🇷 BREAKING: The UK stole $500 million from Iran.
1970s. The Shah paid upfront for 1,500 Chieftain tanks. £650 million.
1. Revolution. UK canceled the contract. Kept the money. Delivered almost nothing.
Decades later. International arbitration. Debt confirmed. Refund owed.
The UK still hasn't paid.
This is not a conspiracy. This is a receipt. The British government stole from Iran. And never gave it back.
$500 million. With interest. Still unpaid.
Now the UK lectures Iran on human rights. On terrorism. On international law.
Theft is theft. The UK knows it. The courts confirmed it. The money never came.
Iran remembers. The world should too. Before the next lecture from London.

Commander-In-Chief and President of the EFF, @Julius_S_Malema , respectfully acknowledges the experience and hard work of Lt General Senthumule, noting that as a woman who has risen through the ranks to become a Lieutenant General, she carries the hopes of many who look up to her leadership in the police service.
CIC, however, cautions that at such a high level of responsibility, leaders must be extremely careful about the company they keep. He raises concern that association with questionable individuals can easily be used to destroy the reputation of someone who has worked tirelessly to build a career of integrity and discipline.
