When social and economic development stalls, our divisions don't just deepen, they fester.
Sections 152 and 153 of the Constitution make social and economic development mandatory for local government. Not optional. Not aspirational. Mandatory! It is the only antidote we have.

On October 7th 2023, Israel was already ordering the Hannibal directive to be activated.

“(Strike) Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted.”

[Farouk Cassim @faroukee]

Israel also wants us to disbelieve what we are witnessing on our screens daily, and what we are hearing regarding their genocidal intent and actions from the mouths of Israeli ministers.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Israel wants you to believe that multiple UN reports and experts are lying. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Oxfam, Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, B’Tselem, Physicians for Human Rights Israel…are all lying.

But you should believe the people who did this…

[Farouk Cassim @faroukee]

Let me assume that you previously voted in the local government elections.

If so, you would have voted for a ward councillor to undertake ward duties.

Why did you vote for PR councillors by voting for a political party?

Was it just to benefit the party? No more than that?

Trump's greatest claim will be that he lost the US its empire and set in motion the processes ending the supremacy of the petrodollar. The US attacked countries, rich in oil, to enrich itself. The unipolar world is dead and the multipolar world is rising. Trump is done for.

The British Medical Association (BMA) has voted to drop the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, saying it had a “chilling effect” on free speech in the workplace

It is incomprehensible that any person of faith with God in their heart can even in the tiniest way countenance what Israel is doing so openly and arrogantly. Yet, notwithstanding everything we are seeing and hearing, so many political leaders are passionate supporters of Israel.

Ze storten op de Westelijke Jordaanoever waterputten vol met cement. Ze bestuiven in Libanon landbouwgronden met gif zodat er niets meer kan groeien. In Gaza schieten ze gericht op kinderen. Dus: hoe kan het dat er nog steeds mensen zijn die Israël steunen? Wat mankeert ze?

"Every country was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.. every country became obliged under the law.. to take action to prevent genocide.. that obligation was activated on 24th Jan 2024"

[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

Israel's leaders are openly talking about land expansion and occupation.They openly talk about controlling media and owning platforms; IDF soldiers are filming themselves committing atrocities and celebrating their grotesque actions; settler terrorists are unleashing their brutality in full view of Israeli police; people who criticize Israel in every part of the world are arrested, hounded out of jobs and education opportunities; You want "peace and quiet?" You will NEVER have it. We will NEVER gift you our silence. And we are not afraid of you either.

@MarioNawfal @RediTlhabi Helen Zille, McKenzie and several other RSA political leaders will have no gripe with what he is saying regardless of what Jesus preached in his Sermon on the Mount. (Matthew 5-7)

Here's a digital book that my son and I wrote on Cape Town's IDP. Any inputs you can offer will be appreciated.

We believe that the IDP should be written in three chapters: Service Delivery, Social development and Economic Development.

Your view?

If the US wants to stop funding HIV prevention in SA, that’s its prerogative (it would rather bomb school children, I suppose…).

But to do so because of false “Afrikaner persecution” nonsense is just unbearably stupid… 🤦‍♂️

[Farouk Cassim @faroukee]

Something more severe must be meted out to all those responsible for this loss to society.

[Adam Habib @AdHabb]

@pinkykhoabane Every board member, every one in the line authority, and every person who received money should be permanently barred from access to public money. This will never be done, but it should be the public call of everyone interested in getting rid of the rot in the public system.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

As Israel’s Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir also oversees the Israel Prison Service, which Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has described as a “network of torture camps” and where U.N. experts have documented systematic torture and sexual violence carried out against Palestinian detainees.

Today is Day 987 since October 7, 2023. For 2 years, 8 months, and 14 days, Israel has blocked the International Committee of the Red Cross from visiting and speaking with Palestinian detainees held in Israeli custody.

This Spanish characterization will serve for centuries.

“In Spain we don’t say ‘Israel’. We say ‘fucking genocidal state’ and I think that’s beautiful.”

🇮🇱🇱🇧 IDF spokesperson:

“Hezbollah is fighting a defensive battle to prevent our forces from completing the destruction of these infrastructures.”

“Hezbollah is the one that violated the ceasefire. It is trying to defend its capabilities it built over the years.”

He legit said: we had to attack them because they violated the ceasefire by defending themselves. I can’t even.

Israel will never recover from this.

A UN hearing descended into chaos after Israel’s ambassador Danny Danon demanded the resignation of senior UN official Pramila Patten over a report that BLACKLISTED Israel for conflict related sexual violence.

When UN official Vanessa Frazier responded that the findings were based on “VERIFIED EVIDENCE,”

Danon cut her off:

“YOU WILL BE QUIET NOW.”

The senility of the British regime is on display.

The British regime dealing with a terrorism suspect, apparently.
