My article bringing light to the Moravian Church in South Africa, a centuries old colonial church that owns entire towns and hundreds of thousands of hectares of land where inhabitants pay the Church taxes and levies, and have to take citizenship classes

My article on @MiddleEastEye on why the South African govt is dragging its feet in prosecuting SA soldiers illegally fighting in the IDF. Is it political? Whose interests are at play?

My article on how South Africa became a military and security supermarket. Have a read!

[Phenomenal World @phenomenalworld]

"The apartheid-era government's engagement with dirty conflicts beyond state borders spurred the rise of a major mercenary and private security industry that spilled into the rest of the continent."

@OpenSecretsZA and I on South Africa being none the wiser if our weapons are being used in Israel. The international weapons legal framework is failing Palestinians. warhttps://africasacountry.com/2024/11/not-exactly-at-arms-length

My article: South Africa supplies Israel with 15% of its coal, literally fuelling the genocide in Gaza.

[The New Arab @The_NewArab]

Despite leading international condemnation of Israel’s actions in Gaza, South Africa’s coal exports to Israel continue to fuel the genocide and occupation

My piece in the @The_NewArab today: How Germany's mainstream climate movement is falling into pieces over its differing views on Palestine and the Gaza genocide, making way for decolonial, unashamedly pro-Palestine and POC-led groups https://t.co/KotmzbQvC8

My article on the possible link between gas and Italy's seemingly unflinching support for Israel. Thanks @Recommon for the interesting input

[The New Arab @The_NewArab]

Italy's tame treatment of Israel during its attack on Gaza could be linked to gas reserves off Gaza's coast, with Italian oil giant Eni a major beneficiary.

@ilhamsta uncovers the relationship between Eni, Italy and Israel. Find out more below ⬇️

My most recent article on MEE: South Africa has said that nationals illegally fighting in the IDF can be prosecuted for South African and international crimes - but will they actually do it?

My article in New Arab on South Africa's confused and contradictory relationship with Israel, historically and ongoing, see-sawing from neo-liberal greed to Mandela's legacy, from $200 million in trade to referring Israel to the ICC, what's the deal?

[The New Arab @The_NewArab]

In-depth: South Africa's history has been strongly connected to Palestine and Israel, but on extreme ends of the political spectrum

My piece on South Africa's significantly critical rhetoric on Israel while it still allows SAfricans to fight in the IOF, Palestinians need visas to travel to SA while Israelis don't and refuses to expel the Israeli ambassador @DIRCO_ZA @PresidencyZA @PSCupdates @BDSSouthAfrica

[Africa Is a Country @africasacountry]

Although the South African government is one of the most vocal supporters of the Palestinian cause, but as @ilhamsta observes, its actions tell a different story. https://t.co/efv6H5E4MQ

"If you believe the Ukrainians have a right to resist occupation and the invasion of their land, and that their fighters are freedom fighters, then you should believe that the Palestinians have the same right."

If you want to know what ppl experience in #CaboDelgado #Mozambique read this excellent JA! post detailing the struggle of the Quitupo community who are being devastated by militarisation & displacement. THIS is the reality of the #gas industry https://t.co/V4v7rZ1kRE @JA4change

@swimlittlefish You can turn them on on YouTube. At one point subtitles showed the speaker was going on in depth about peppermint and pineapples

Is it just me or is anyone else in tears laughing at the subtitles #SONA2023
