Jennifer Welch: “JD Vance is this country’s top prostitute. He believes in nothing. He’s changed his name three times, changed his religion three times. ‘Trump is America’s Hitler,’ we’ve done a complete 180 on that. He is a two-bit hooker”

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

"What concerns us about the rising anti-migrant sentiment is that it fractures society and sets neighbour against neighbour. That is not how you solve problems or build a country. Our anger must be directed upwards, at systems of power and failure not downwards at the powerless.” Tessa Dooms, Rivonia Circle. #Xenophobia #Afrophobia #June30

[Neil Coleman @NeilColemanSA]

Most of us have expressed our views on the June 30 anti-immigrant mobilisation, and it's orchestration by forces with a dubious political agenda.
But what are the concrete interventions that can respond to the legitimate community grievances fuelling this conflict?
The @IEJ_SA sets out a proposed response in this article.

March and March | Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma

[Nolwazi Tusini @NolwAzi_Tusini]

Jacinta must start by opening up March and March’s books and telling us who funds them before she makes noise about other NGOs - many of whom declare their funding by the way.
There is a reason March and March is targeting civil society institutions. Bafuna ukuliqeda lelizwe.

[Neil Coleman @NeilColemanSA]

The anger of communities is understandable. But the actions of vigilantes in exploiting people's grievances is unacceptable. In these short clips Zwelinzima Vavi
1. Asks did migrants cause South Africa's economic crisis?
2. Argues migrants must not be made scapegoats for failures they did not create
3. Maintains anti-migration sentiment is politically orchestrated, aims to divide the working class, & redirect legitimate anger away from those who created the crisis.

[Neil Coleman @NeilColemanSA]

If there is looting and destruction of businesses like there was in July 2021 (and indications are it could be worse) unemployment among South Africans will actually *worsen*.
In July 2021 around 150 000 jobs were affected by the looting and destruction.
This doesn't mean that exploitation of the cheap labour of undocumented immigrants mustn't be regulated.
It must just be done in an orderly way, and *employers* must be targeted, not migrants.

LIVE: Hundreds of Malawians camping outside their consulate in Johannesburg as the June 30 'deadline' for undocumented migrants to leave South Africa.

They're relying on donations from neighbors and charities to eat and sleep in this winter cold

South Africa faces a corruption crisis that impacts service delivery everywhere.

Neither Afrophobic rhetoric nor scapegoating vulnerable populations will solve it.

AmaBhungane has traced links between March and March, figures close to Jacob Zuma and organisers behind the planned 30 June shutdown.
