He has since been released on warning and is due to appear in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on 1 October. Transport Minister Barbara Creecy also ordered an investigation into Mudzinganyama’s company over SANRAL tenders, while Acting Police Minister Firoz Cachalia says Home Affairs should investigate his status in South Africa. #Newzroom405
@SarahNaomi05jz You are delusional with twisted entitlement. You all belong to a mental institution to believe that murdering fellow humans is your God given right is so stupid and barbaric.
@aime_mwizaa Reduce your list and be a good person yourself, you will find a great partner. But as your list stands currently, he may not be interested in your.' He does not chase girls'
Extremist Israeli settlers deliberately empty Palestinian water tanks onto the ground in Ein al-Hilweh, northern Jordan Valley.
Palestinians of this herding community struggle daily for water after settlers seized their main spring 5 years ago.
The Chinese government saw the news of their people being caught selling counterfeit goods here in South Africa and instead of acting like victims and treating their citizens like Hero’s for breaking our laws!
The first thing they did was to call out their citizens for breaking the laws of our country, told them that they don’t support their actions and offered support to South Africa…
@RediTlhabi This is proof that mental assessment should be compulsory for anyone who wishes to hold a public office, especially that of a president of the biggest economy. This guy is worse that most of the illiterate presidents I have observed.
Elon Musk has posted 50 times about South Africa in just 7 days, and Zimbabweans are just as angry as he is.
This is because they both desperately need South Africa to allow Starlink in.
We all know that the Starlink constellation is the largest array of satellites in the world. However, even with all of those satellites, Starlink still needs to connect to internet data centres on the ground.
The satellites have to beam the data down to a ground station, which then sends the data across the internet using undersea cables.
This is where South Africa comes in as one of the most connected countries on the continent with seven of the major undersea cables landing in Cape Town and Durban. These are the cables connecting Africa’s internet directly to Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Because of this, Elon Musk wants to build a Starlink ground station in South Africa because it would ensure he gets fast, stable, high capacity routes straight into the global internet.
Beyond the cables, South Africa also has world-class data centres alongside Tier 3+ infrastructure, which means high uptime, power redundancy, cooling and security.
NAPAfrica, one of the largest internet exchange points on the continent is also in South Africa, with facilities in Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg.
So, it should be clear that Starlink in SA is not about selling satellite dishes to households. It’s about plugging into the continent’s internet backbone and using South Africa to build a solid launch pad for a robust infrastructure build.
Elon Musk can turn on Starlink in every single country on the continent, but without South Africa, he reaches a dead end and can never get his service to work properly on the continent.
This also explains why some Zimbabweans are livid about South Africa not letting Starlink in. The service will just not work well over there without South Africa’s participation.
OK, but if this is so important to Starlink why is Elon Musk stubbornly refusing to adhere to straightforward BEE requirements?
Well, as pointed above, South Africa’s value to Starlink is mostly as infrastructure backbone, not as a massive retail customer base.
We all know he won’t get any meaningful number of customers in SA. There’s simply no market for it.
Musk just wants to use South Africa to route through neighbouring countries, and to him, this is not worth giving up a 30% stake in South Africa’s operations.
For Musk, the BEE thing is just a strategic business decision. All that racism talk is just a smokescreen for a hard-nosed business choice.
@elonmusk It is very easy for you Elon to keep saying what you are saying. You don't know how it feels like to be a victim of racism. You are not used to be told to do things the right way, you are a spoilt brat.
Which school is this? This teacher needs to be identified and be dealt with properly. This is unacceptable and deeply concerning. She should not be around children.
@Michaeach3 So you Americans fear anyone who has a different opinion to yours. You think your life perspective is the correct one, otherwise others have no right to exist. U need education, you are backwards and primitive in your thinking.
BREAKING: Iran HUMILIATES Trump after he demands that he get to choose their next leader by announcing that they won't let "Epstein's Gang" decide their nation's "future."
Trump thought that assassinating the Ayatollah would break them, but he was so wrong...
"Trump still doesn't realize what calamity he has brought upon himself and the American soldiers by martyring our Imam, and he wants to dictate terms to a nation," Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of Iran's Parliament, wrote on X.
"The Americans, instead of taking a hard line, had not done so, and now they will come to understand that the fate of dear Iran, which is more precious than life, will be determined solely by the proud Iranian nation, not by Epstein's gang," he added.
Ghalifbaf's use of the word "martyring" offers direct insight into the historic mistake that Trump made by killing Ayatollah Khamenei. He wasn't just a political figure, but a sacred religious leader to Shia Muslims. Regardless of one's thoughts about his theocratic regime, murdering him was blatantly illegal and a massive strategic mistake. His death has only multiplied Iran's desire to resist American aggression.
The "Epstein's Gang" bit is self-explanatory and demonstrates exactly how the rest of the world views this White House. It's a criminal organization of pedophiles and pedophile protectors waging war that will cost American lives on behalf of Israel.
The idea that Trump now thinks he will get to choose Iran's next leader is so absurd as to be laughable. He said that he has “to be involved in the appointment” of the new supreme leader, just as he was with picking Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's replacement Delcy Rodriguez.
“I’m saying there has to be a leader that’s going be fair and just. Do a great job. Treat the United States and Israel well, and treat the other countries in the Middle East — they’re all our partners,” Trump said.
“It’s just wishful thinking,” said Sina Azodi, assistant professor of Middle East Politics at George Washington University, of Trump's reamrks.
“You could make the argument that the next supreme leader would bring a different approach because it will most likely be one of the second generation revolutionaries; Ali Khamenei was a first generation revolutionary,” Azodi added. “But again, Delcy Rodriguez does not exist in Iran.”
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh mocked Trump's comments by pointing out that under the American federal system, he doesn't even get to control who becomes mayor of New York City.
“Can you imagine this colonial approach — that he would like to see democracy at home, but he would like to topple down the democratically elected president of Iran?” Khatibzadeh said.
