BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Trump to Netanyahu after Iran threatened to pull out of negotiations: “You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass.”

After Iran threatened to pull out of negotiations, President Trump quickly called Israeli PM Netanyahu to postpone the planned attack against Beirut, according to Axios

In the call, President Trump became openly furious at Netanyahu, saying:

“You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this. What the fuck are you doing?”

One U.S. official says it was the worst call ever between the two leaders, as Trump perceived Netanyahu as trying to sabotage diplomacy with Iran.

Did you know it’s completely ILLEGAL for tuckshops to charge an extra "Speedpoint fee" (R2–R10) to swipe your card, or add extra fees on airtime? 💳

​Section 23 of the CPA & banking rules state the shelf price MUST be the price at the till. Surcharging is strictly forbidden.

​This widespread trend is a massive regulatory failure—the NCC and banks are asleep at the wheel while consumers get exploited daily by lawless pricing.

​Fight back:
1️�� Demand the displayed price.
2️⃣ Snap a photo of illegal fee signs.
3️⃣ Report them to the machine provider (Yoco, Flash, or bank) or the Consumer Ombud (CGSO: [email protected]).
​Know your rights. Retweet to stop the exploitation! 📢🇿🇦

Praise be to Allah! At a university in Germany, they conducted a test on cows to determine the amount of pain the cows feel during slaughter, according to Islamic method through a process called EEG.

They were monitoring the cow's brain electrical activity chart, and through it, they could tell whether the cow felt pain or not, and what the extent of the pain was?

Surprisingly, they took the cow and slaughtered it for the test....

In the first 3 seconds, no change occurred in the brain electrical activity, and this is evidence that it did not feel any pain.

In the next 3 seconds, the cow lost consciousness and fell completely asleep due to severe blood flow from the slaughter and the absence of the largest amount of blood from the brain.

After 6 seconds, the EEG stopped the brain electrical activity, meaning that the cow died without any pain.

Praise be to Allah, for the religion that shows mercy to animals even during slaughter.

Centuries ago, Muslims from the heart of Africa walked nearly 7,000 kilometers for Hajj.

Not for days.
Not for weeks.
But for years.

They crossed deserts on foot, travelled with livestock for food and survival, and spent entire lifetimes saving for one sacred journey to Makkah.

Along the roads stood wells, inns, and shelters built by Muslim rulers and generous souls to serve the guests of Allah.

Some pilgrims returned home after two years.
Some stayed longer seeking knowledge in cities like Cairo and Damascus before finally returning with the honored title of “Hajji.”

A reminder that for many before us, Hajj was not a trip.
It was the journey of a lifetime.

Zimbabwe Vice President, Kembo Mohadi, speaking Setswana.

He is from the Karanga tribe, which is closely related to the Kalanga tribe in Botswana.

Both the Kalanga and Karanga people coexisted for centuries in ancient Mapungubwe.

There is a Batswana community of about 60,000 in Zimbabwe.

There is also a small Batswana community in Namibia who have lived there for close to 200 years.

There are Batswana in Zambia as well. Lozi and Setswana are very similar.

The Lozi people can also be found in Botswana where they existed for over 100 years.

In the nutshell, we are all one people.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Last night, Trump reportedly gave Netanyahu the worst news he could imagine

According to Axios, Trump told him mediators are close to an interim deal that would end the war and start a formal 30-day negotiating period.

Netanyahu was fuming, with one source saying his “hair was on fire.”

This is amazing news, if true; it means Trump wants the war to end and he’s no longer doing what Netanyahu wants.

You don’t need R7 million to own a major chicken fast-food franchise anymore.

SA Chicken Franchises Ranked by Setup Cost 🇿🇦👇

● ​Chicken Licken: R4.8m (250+ stores)
● ​KFC: R5.4m+ (1,000+ stores)
