Thank you, AfriForum and Solidarity. People are going to suffer because of your manufactured Afrikaner 'victimhood'.

More Zimbabweans arrived at the Zimbabwean consulate in CT today, from Bredasdorp. These people have been chased out of their homes, and are on the street. Well done, South Africa. Shame. Shame.

@SABCNews I grew up hearing, on the SABC, apartheid politicians saying: keep politics out of sport.

This is the UNESCO World Heritage site i Kyiv that Russia has bombed tonight. Founded in 1051. A craddle of Eastern Christianity and one of the most important cultural sites in all of Eastern Europe. Right now the cathedral is burning because Russia has no moral, no values.

A consistent brother this one! From South Africa's anti apartheid struggle to being a whistleblower in post apartheid arms deal corruption...fast forward to investigating the global arms trade and its inherent military industrial complex . And as always, calling out Israel's multiple, blatant violations...and oh, Britain's political class - across parties - has felt his unyielding social justice lens and commitment to speaking truth to power. Love and appreciate you Andrew!

It is impossible to normalise the FIFA World Cup so that you can enjoy one or two games and support your country or continent. Boycott the WC.
