Congratulations on South Africa’s iconic Garden Route being ranked as the world’s best road trip. Stretching along the country’s southern coast, this breathtaking route is renowned for its unique blend of ocean vistas, lush forests and vibrant communities.

The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a draft resolution that unequivocally condemns the trafficking of enslaved Africans and the transatlantic slave trade as the most inhumane and enduring injustice against humanity.

123 in favour
3 Against (USA, Israel, Argentina)
52 abstentions

The resolution also seeks to recognize the profound and lasting impacts of the abhorrent regimes of slavery and colonialism and emphasizes that claims for reparations represent a concrete step towards remedying historical wrongs against Africans and people of African descent.

The child who was subjected to torture (including having cigarettes extinguished on his body and a metal rod inserted into his feet in front of his father)—

In a delayed video released by the occupation, the moment of his handover to the International Committee of the Red Cross is documented in the “Yellow Line” area east of Gaza, days after he was detained along with his father.

During his detention, he was subjected to severe abuses, while his father remains imprisoned by the occupation to this moment.

@Am_Blujay My heart is broken for this beautiful child.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Global military expenditure just hit $2.7 trillion - in a single year.

According to @UN estimates, ending world hunger by 2030 would require $93 billion annually.

That means we spend almost 30 times more every year on killing each other than on making sure everyone eats.

Numbers don't lie. Our priorities do.

US funding cuts have impacted Zambia’s HIV response. But the government and partners are stepping up.

UNAIDS' @IsaacOffei11 shares how the country is mitigating the impacts to protect the health and lives of people living with HIV, and how UNAIDS is supporting these efforts.

By the way, I will appear before Parliament’s portfolio committee on Women, Youth and Person's with Disabilities today.
To end GBVF and harmful social norms all stakeholders must play their part incl Parliament.
All South Africans must realise their role in preventing violence.

Good Morning SA! Did You Know?
South Africa has officially been named the friendliest country in the world! 🌍💛
Out of 27 nations ranked for agreeableness by @Remitly, SA took the top spot — and honestly, we’re not surprised. From ubuntu to everyday kindness, South Africans are just lekker like that.
