The Nelson Mandela Foundation congratulates Navanethem Pillay on being awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.
Pillay has spent decades advancing justice, accountability and the protection of human rights.
Her career includes defending those who stood against apartheid, serving as a judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Her recognition is a significant moment for South Africa and for the broader struggle for justice and human dignity. Her lifelong commitment to these principles reflects the values Nelson Mandela championed and the work that remains necessary to realise a more just world.
We congratulate Navi Pillay on this honour and recognise a lifetime of work in pursuit of justice.

🚨🔵🛑Sir Jim Ratcliffe on Manchester City financial breaches allegations.👀
🗣️Ratcliffe: "Let’s call a spade a spade, shall we? You look across town and you see this glittering empire, but the foundation is built on absolute financial fiction. We at Manchester United, for all our recent faults and boardroom incompetence over the last decade, generate our revenue because half the globe genuinely cares about the badge."
🗣️"City claim to have out-earned Real Madrid and United commercially, yet they play in a stadium they can barely fill for a Champions League knockout tie. It’s an insult to the intelligence of every football fan in the country."
🗣️"If you run a petrochemical company and cook the books to artificially bankrupt your competitors, the government steps in and people go to prison. In football, apparently, you just get to hire a fleet of lawyers and parade around on an open-top bus for ten years."
🗣️"The Premier League has to stop tiptoeing around this issue like a frightened child facing a state-backed bully."
🗣️"If those 115 charges are proven and frankly, the sheer volume of smoke tells you exactly where the fire is a Nine Hundred-million-pounds fine or a temporary points deduction is a sick joke."
🗣️"You don't dock points. You strip the titles, you wipe the records, and you send them down to the National League where they can learn to balance a legitimate ledger against Halifax Town. Anything less is a permanent, terminal stain on the integrity of English football."
🗣️"I, for one, am entirely finished pretending their 'treble' wasn't bought on credit they never legally possessed."
Manchester City Breaking rules.
It has taken the authorities over years to conclude that Manchester city are GUILTY of breaking rules.
However the authorities have NOT imposed the punishment.
When Spurs were found guilty of breaking rules the punishment was imposed immediately. 12 point deduction, a ban from the FA Cup and a £600,000 fine.
My point being is that Man city have not had any punishments imposed and are free to carry on playing. In the case of Spurs and Everton the points were immediately deducted in the appropriate season.
Its simple. The rules are you are guilty and here is the punishment. The punishment should be implemented immediately . The process of appeal can then follow.
Opinion
City fans, genuinely feel for you, we all support clubs through good and bad, and maybe hold our nose at times when something seems too good to be true. Being genuine here, no bs, no clucking, no delight. Could be any supporter today. Needed to say that.
But this now is the biggest football scandal in British football history
nothing comes close.
Expulsion from the Prem and EFL a bare minimum, several billion in fines, Abu Dhabi struck off global football ownership, selling all clubs, an independent commission into all Premier League clubs financial conduct, and where applicable, criminal fraud charges.
English football has been relatively lucky with financial or general cheating Scandals over 150 years ( there have been minor things) but this makes this season's Premier League ( are the practices alleged still happening? How many managers and players today are paid off books in contravention of HMRC and English law?) null and void until sanctions are implemented.
The motion that one club can fulfill fixtures while serious and potentially criminal allegations are pointed at the directors box would make it a circus and grossly unfair on every other club.
We all need to take a harder look at just letting anyone in to own our club on the promise of trophies and memories. Our forebears supported clubs simply for enjoyment and competition, not to end up like this. A mess.
