😂😂. This is so funny. The United States can not legally and procedurally bar South Africa from G20 participation. I see there is a lot if "Gotcha SA" for running a successful Summit and some hysterical reportage. Newsrooms need to be aware that a single country can not bar another from the G20. In any case, SA needs to be calm and focus on G20 UK for 2026-2027, when an adult will be chairing the G20. The UK knows the urgency of tackling inequality, sovereign debt crisis, pandemic preparedness, industrialization etc. These matters will be back on the agenda in a year. The adults will adult.

The Human Rights Commission found that black applicants were consistently sidelined-lined for more than a decade while white applicants and occupants kept the land and in some cases got more prime land.

The Human Rights Commission has been investigating how black applicants were sidelined for years in Harterbeespoort.

The report found that since 2012, there were 120 applications of which 78 were black.

Only ONE was granted to a black male.

PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA NOTES US STATEMENT ON SOUTH AFRICA’S G20 PARTICIPATION

President @CyrilRamaphosa has noted the regrettable statement by President Donald Trump on South Africa’s participation in the 2026 G20 meetings.

The G20 South Africa 2025 Leaders’ Summit attended by several Heads of State and Goverment, was hailed by all those who attended the summit as one of the most successful summits.

The summit produced a declaration that affirmed the indisputable strength and value of multilateralism in response to the most pressing challenges facing the world.

As the United States was not present at the summit, instruments of the G20 Presidency were duly handed over to a US Embassy official at the Headquarters of South Africa’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation.

As one of the founding members of the G20, South Africa has always valued the spirit of consensus, collaboration and partnership that defines the G20 as the premier forum for international economic cooperation.

In keeping with this approach, the United States was expected to participate in all the meetings of the G20 during South Africa’s Presidency but unfortunately, it elected not to attend the G20 Leaders Summit in Johannesburg out of its own volition.

We are however pleased that US entities such as businesses and civil society organisations participated in large numbers in G20 related activities such as the B20 and the G20 Social. South Africa values their participation.

South Africa is a member of the G20 in its own name and right. Its G20 membership is at the behest of all other members. South Africa is a sovereign constitutional democratic country and does not appreciate insults from another country about its membership and worth in participating in global platforms. South Africa respects the sovereignty of all countries and will never insult or demean another country or its standing and worthiness in the community of nations.

South Africa will continue to participate as a full, active and constructive member of the G20. We call on members of the G20 to reaffirm its continued operation in the spirit of multilateralism, based on consensus, with all members participating on an equal footing in all of its structures.

It is regrettable that despite the efforts and numerous attempts by President Ramaphosa and his administration to reset the diplomatic relationship with the US, President Trump continues to apply punitive measures against South Africa based on misinformation and distortions about our country.

When I visited this boy yesterday, he was in so much pain I broke down and couldn’t take it. I couldn’t stop thinking about him all day. When I finished reporting today, the first thing I did was go to see him, but he wasn’t there. He died a painful death, his only fault being that he was born a Palestinian in Gaza.

Anti-tax protests have turned anti-government in Kenya, with young people dissatisfied with the current economic situation and the government’s deadly response to protests earlier in the week.

[Jennine K @jennineak]

Do not get desensitised, get radicalised.

Gaza has been cloaked with death for almost nine months. Non-stop. Daily massacres. Hourly massacres. This is not a ‘one-off’ event— it is systemised butchering. It is apocalyptic.

“If we shall not end the occupation, we shall not have security,” warns Ami Ayalon, former head of Shin Bet, “and if we shall not end this occupation, we shall not have democracy.”

In an extraordinarily candid interview, Israel’s former internal security chief condemns what he calls Prime Minister Netanyahu’s “toxic leadership,” and argues that as the war continues, “we are losing our identity as people, as Jews, and as human beings.”
