Minister @RonaldLamola delivers remarks at the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in India. He spoke about economic cooperation: “Our economic and financial cooperation also remains essential to strengthening resilience and sustainable development across the BRICS bloc’s members.”

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

It's actually enraging how the World Bank can suddenly change its mind about industrial policy like "Oops, for the past 45 years we systematically prevented you from using the most obvious tool for sovereign development, keeping you stuck in poverty and dependency, lol".

#FfD4 starts tomorrow in Seville. The real question isn't how to fill a financing gap—it's what we're financing and to what end. Without purpose-driven investment that crowds in resources and addresses genuine development needs, we'll continue falling short.

Our letter in tomorrow's @FT with Ministers @carlos_cuerpo (Spain), @Haddad_Fernando (Brazil) and Godongwana (South Africa) outlines the need for a new approach ➡️ https://t.co/tnwGc1fve8

I love my city, Pretoria, South Africa...and the greater Tshwane...

Our tranquil, beautiful capital, and the heart of our diplomatic community.

A temperature climate in the Highveld, in a warm, sheltered, fertile valley, surrounded by the hills of the Magaliesberg range.

We will have a clean, organized, well run city again. I am very hopeful that a better future lies ahead.

Our Jakaranda City.

The Soweto uprising was a series of demonstrations and protests led by Black school children that began in the morning of June 16 1976. Students from various schools began to protests in the streets of Soweto in response to the introduction of Afrikaans as a medium of instruction in Black schools. More than 20 000 students took part in the demonstrations. They were met with fierce police brutality and may were shot and killed.
