I love South Africa and all its people, even if we differ in views. I hate racists.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

“He once reminded us: ‘We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.’

He was not making a geopolitical argument. He was making a moral one.

Today Gaza confronts this Assembly with the same question that apartheid once posed to the world. Does international law apply equally to everyone?

If the answer depends on geography...
If it depends on alliances...
If it depends on military strength…
If it depends of race…
If it depends on religion…

Then it is no longer law. It is power. And its opposite is oppression.

JD Vance delivers the biggest blow to Netanyahu's plan. 🔥

🇺🇸 JD Vance: "If the Iranian people want to rise up and change their government, that's up to them.

But we're not going to send 150,000 ground troops in order to accomplish regime change."

Now they've realized they can't defeat Iran's military.

Limpopo Premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba has warned women in leadership positions to be cautious about allowing their younger romantic partners, commonly referred to as "Ben 10s", to influence their personal lives and leadership decisions.

Speaking during the official handover of a newly built house to the family of conjoined twins in Lulekani on Wednesday, Ramathuba said the downfall of many women in leadership positions is often linked to the influence of their "Ben 10" partners.

She urged women leaders to remain focused on their responsibilities and not allow personal relationships to interfere with their decision-making or public duties.

I have served long enough in leadership to recognise a troubling pattern. Too many among South Africa’s elite - black and white - appear to believe the rules that govern the rest of us do not apply to them.

As chairman of an SOE, I am regularly approached by business leaders asking me to intervene in operational or procurement matters. When I explain that my role is governance and oversight, not management, they say they understand. Yet the requests continue. This reveals a belief that exceptions exist for the connected few.

It was therefore striking to see Business Leadership South Africa and BUSA, organisations that have been vocal against state capture and political interference in state-owned enterprises, actively advocate for political intervention to transfer transmission assets to the Transmission System Operator. These are the same bodies that insist on corporate governance and board independence. Where, then, is the role of the SOE board? What exactly do they believe in?

Equally concerning are recent allegations involving former Democratic Alliance leader Tony Leon. Senior figures within his own party, including John Steenhuisen and Dion George, have raised issues that appear to involve conflicts of interest and undue influence. This from a voice that has long lectured on ethical standards and clean governance. Do these rules apply to everyone, or only when politically convenient? Selective morality is not morality at all.

When those who position themselves as guardians of good governance apply different standards to themselves, public trust erodes. But South Africans are watching. We see the inconsistencies. We now know where people stand.

The path forward requires courage. We must expose wrongdoing wherever it occurs without fear or favour. We must demand that those who preach accountability live it consistently. We must insist that rules bind the powerful as they bind ordinary citizens. And we must model the ethical society we want to build.

South Africa does not lack good people. What we need is the collective will to insist that principle applies to all. Let us find that courage. Let us call out double standards and build a nation where no one is above the law. That is the South Africa worth fighting for. #ProudlySA

Chidimma Adetshina Reportedly Facing Deportation Proceedings from South Africa

Controversial former Miss South Africa finalist and Miss Universe Nigeria titleholder Chidimma Adetshina is facing deportation from South Africa after allegedly being found living in Cape Town illegally earlier this month, according to Sunday World report.

The 25-year-old beauty queen appeared in the Cape Town Regional Court on 9 June following her arrest in Summer Greens. She was released on a warning and is due back in court next month, as the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) pursues deportation proceedings.

Court papers filed by an immigration officer outline the department's case for detaining Adetshina for the purpose of deportation. The development stems from her previous citizenship controversy.

Born in Soweto to a Nigerian father and a mother of Mozambican origin, Adetshina withdrew from the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant after fraud allegations against her mother led to revoked ID documents and a Hawks investigation. She later competed as Miss Universe Nigeria and has made return visits to South Africa.

The matter has reignited public debate about citizenship verification, document fraud, and how the Home Affairs department handles cases involving foreign-linked individuals. Investigations remain ongoing.
