South Africa has been ranked eight in the world in terms of aviation safety, with a 95,12% compliance score in an audit by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

(Not as good as the Springboks, but still a world leader).

🚨 BREAKING

American actor Harrison Ford:

"I don't know of a greater criminal in history. He has no policies, only whims. That terrifies me. Ignorance, arrogance, lies, betrayal. Trump knows what he's doing. He's amassing enormous wealth while the world heads toward the abyss."

Memories. We were welcomed and introduced to the ANC by Marius and Jeanette in Botswana in 1980.

[History ZAR @HistorySAZAR]

Marius and Jeanette Schoon with their two children. Jeanette Schoon was a pioneering trade unionist married to Marius Schoon an MK soldier and activist who had served a 10 years prison sentence in Pretoria Central Prison and was placed under house arrest after his release before fleeing to Botswana. They had two children, a daughter Katryn and a son Fritz. Jeanette and her daughter Katryn were blown up by a parcel bomb sent to them by the Apartheid Security in June 1984. Schoon's husband was on a trip to the Angolan capital, Luanda, and her son survived the bombing. Source: Patric Tariq Mellet.

🚨 BREAKING:

Marjorie Taylor Greene just revealed that the Epstein files were blocked by Trump himself.

He did everything he could to bury them.

Not the Democrats. Not the Justice Department. Not the deep state.

So, presumably she has evidence. If so, why did she not lodge a formal complaint with the NEC? She accepted the outcome of that Conference. Why does she reveal this now, almost four years later? She must have a reason. One wonders what.

[POWER987News @POWER987News]

ANC member, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma stands by the statement that money has been used to influence votes in the ANC.

Following her interview on a podcast, the party’s Secretary-General of the African National Congress comrade Fikile Mbalula served Dlamini-Zuma.

She said Mbalula bought votes at the 2022 conference.

Dlamini-Zuma said she is not retracting her statement as she did with the claims against her comrade, Ronald Lamola.

“On 25 August 2026, my legal representatives filed a notice of intention to oppose. I stand by my statements and the substance of the argument raised. Out of respect for the court, I will not argue the merits of the case through public statements as the matter will now be fully ventilated in court

“I have devoted my life to the struggle and the African National Congress and remain committed to its unity and renewal. It is precisely because of this commitment that I believe we must speak honestly about the challenges facing our movement. The case against me will now follow its course before the court. However, the political and organisational question at the heart of this matter remains before the ANC and cannot be resolved through litigation. Our movement must find the courage to confront this problem as it is killing the ANC.”

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

BREAKING: "You cannot rename away our history!" Chief Margaret Sault of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation DESTROYS Trump's pathetic attempt to rename Lake Ontario.

The MAGA cult leader really bit off more than he can chew this time...

"Lake Ontario has existed for thousands of years, long before Canada and the United States became the countries we know today," Sault told Yahoo News Canada.

The word "Ontario" is rooted in indigenous language, although scholars disagree on the precise etymology. The government of Ontario officially traces it back to the Iroquois word "kanadario" which translates roughly to "sparkling water."

Earlier today, our sweaty, demented, pedophile of a President held a big splashy event in the Oval Office to scrawl on a map with a Sharpie and sign a document declaring that Lake Ontario is now "Lake America." It's the same tacky stunt that he attempted with the Gulf of America, but his administration is such a disaster now that only the most diehard MAGA cultists are falling for the distraction.

"For the Mississaugas of the Credit, this is not simply a lake on a map. It is part of our homeland and part of our history as a Nation," said Sault.

The MCFN has a long, storied connection to the western Lake Ontario area and their rights to the land are etched in a treaty dating back to 1806, after which they still controlled hundreds of thousands of acres and retained fishing rights at the Credit River, 12 Mile Creek and 16 Mile Creek.

"You can change a label on a map, but you cannot change the relationship that our people have with these lands and waters," said Sault. "You cannot rename away our history."

Trump's desperate renaming attempt is a transparent effort to pull headlines away from his failed Iran War and the Epstein files. At the same time, it's throwing red meat to his hooting, xenophobic followers who love it every time he insults or attacks a foreign country or marginalized group. These people will gladly let him torch the economy, drag us into endless wars, and cover up his sex crimes so long as they can chant "USA" at his rallies in a mindless braying mob.

Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish sided with the Mississaugas of the Credit in a post on X—

"Dear Mr. Trump: Since the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation established their homes close to and along the shores of this lake, it has been our lifeblood," she wrote. "I, and everyone in Mississauga, am proud to be living along the shores of LAKE ONTARIO. We will defend its good name!"

As for us, we stand with Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and Canada. What about you?

Please ❤️ and share if you'll never call it Lake America!
