2 in 3 South Africans live in poverty 💔💔

66.7% of the country survives on LESS than R3,000 every month

I HATE how South African houses are ice boxes in winter while it’s super warm outside

Despite being too sick to appear before the Madlanga Commission, controversial ANC-linked North West businessman, Suliman Carrim, was reportedly seen having lunch at a restaurant in the Western Cape.

Matthew Chaskalson, evidence leader, explained how the info came about. TCG

“There was deliberate intent to make Lionel Messi the World Cup hero”

This interview was in 2022. Van Gaal is here saying there’s an intent from referees to help Messi win the World Cup.

Now 4 yrs later the Egyptian coach has come out to say same thing.

🚨🚨 Egypt’s Ziko: “The referee is unfair, God is sufficient for me and the best disposer of affairs. He's wasting the effort of an entire nation”.

“The cup is being given to Argentina. They win the World Cup”.

[David Ornside @David_Ornside]

🚨🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan couldn't control himself after full-time:

"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"

"And I want to say one more thing, if they want them [Argentina] to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"

[Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonBBC]

Egypt's disallowed goal was completely against how this tournament has been refereed.

You can't have a light touch where you don't give fouls for minimal contact and then rule out a goal through VAR for a very minimal hold of the shirt.

EGYPT IS KILLING THEMSELVES FOR AFRICAAAAAA

[Fathima @fathimaomar]

This World Cup is rigged. #egypt

[Daniel Austin @_Dan_Austin]

Just to be clear, then. FIFA:

1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA

2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like

Smashing. All know where we stand

The biased nature of the commentary at the World Cup especially towards African teams need to be questioned and corrected.

[FIFA World Cup @FIFAWorldCup]

South Africa advance to the knockout stage for the first time! 👏

Brilliant. The hypocrisy and sophistry is astounding. 73 000 civilians, including childrenj murdered - a war crime - and not a single word of condemnation. An ICC fugitive and no demands for his arrest. Unconscionable.

The DA has never “waited” for any international court to rule before condemnation. Ever. No court has ruled against Iran. No court has ruled against Putin. No court has ruled against Xi. And yet they are regularly condemned, and correctly so, when gross human rights abuses are revealed.

What this reveals is quite stomach-churning. You are willing to compromise your principles if the price is right. You are willing to turn a blind eye - even to a genocide - if your palms are greased. There is no moral high ground on foreign policy you can ever claim again. You can be bought by rogue nations, just like you have accused the ANC of being. At least it is honest about where it stands. Stand on business.

[MDN NEWS @MDNnewss]

A man furiously confronts DA Johannesburg mayoral candidate Helen Zille, accusing her and the DA of racism and white supremacy, and challenging her refusal to describe the situation in Gaza as genocide.

[Michael de Villiers @Mikedotcoza]

You’re a blatant liar. That’s exactly why this platform has become so distasteful. You acquired it on the promise of tackling misinformation, yet you’ve become one of its biggest sources. There are over 500 American companies operating in South Africa, many of them led by white executives. This isn’t about facts, it’s about smearing South Africa for your own benefit.

[Monisha Rajesh 🍉 @monisha_rajesh]

Sarah Blackface Silverman who thinks Israel had the right to cut off water and electricity to Gaza? Correct, Nobody wants this.

When Dr Imtiaz Sooliman was called to the podium to be honoured with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (honoris causa), a rousing applause filled UCT's Sarah Baartman Hall.

Dr Sooliman, one of South Africa’s most distinguished humanitarian leaders and the founder of Gift of the Givers, acknowledged the applause with a wave and stood with a composed pose as his citation was read out on 30 March 2026. #UCTGrad2026
