I’ve benefitted from this deal with the banks, but let’s be very clear that this intervention is for the convenience of the middle class, not an attempt to provide access to Home Affairs services to the masses. If that were the case Leon would be looking to the Post Office.
Two back-to-back callers on SAFM just said they wished “apartheid can come back” because white people governed SA better than black people.
Our democratic dispensation has left many people behind and this misguided sentiment will continue to fester as our situation gets worse.
The case of two black women who were allegedly shot and fed to pigs by a white farmer and two of his workers has been cited as an extrajudicial killing by the US State Department.

JUST IN: South Africa's Dept of International Relations has rejected as inaccurate and deeply flawed a U.S. State Dept Human Rights country report on South Africa.
South Africa noted the report came from a nation that had existed the U.N. Human Rights Council and pointed to the "documented concerns about human rights in the United States" citing the treatment of refugees and breaches in due process by its own agencies, such as ICE.

The Executive Summary to the U.S. Report on SA reads:
The human rights situation in South Africa significantly worsened during the year; with the signing of Expropriation Bill (B23-2020) on December 20, South Africa took a substantially worrying step towards land expropriation of Afrikaners and further abuses against racial minorities in the country.
Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: arbitrary or unlawful killings; arbitrary arrest or detention; and the repression of racial minorities.
The government did not take credible steps to investigate, prosecute, and punish officials who committed human rights abuses, including inflammatory racial rhetoric against Afrikaners and other racial minorities, or violence against racial minorities.
