@VusiSambo Odd timing that Iran’s largest warship is currently in Cape Town harbour? #IRISMakran #armsforputin

[Laura Twiggs @laura_twiggs]

@majidrem @Spriter99880 No, but I’d expect South Africans to know when a foreign warship (especially one of such heft), was in our waters - and why

[Laura Twiggs @laura_twiggs]

@NicoletteFuller But I agree that the second sentence about keeping pace holds nothing of the mood of the first; it introduces the notion of speed which is quite absent in the first

[Laura Twiggs @laura_twiggs]

@NicoletteFuller Perhaps in this case “guided” would be a better choice

[Laura Twiggs @laura_twiggs]

@NicoletteFuller You can’t “follow” at someone’s side.

@dailymaverick Iranian warship in CT Harbour previously refused a berth in any international ports? Why is it here? #IrisMakran

South American port. At a press conference earlier this month, she said that these ships “facilitated illegal trade and terrorist activities.” She added that, to date, no other countries had provided a port for these vessels

Brazil Allows Iranian Warships To Dock, Ignores US Demands

Brazil has let two Iranian warships dock in the country. The recent visit comes after a diplomatic delay and despite US pressure.

Iranian warships IRIS Makran and IRIS Dena docked in Rio de Janeiro.

Brics🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why is the Flagship Iranian Warship berthed in Cape Town Harbour - largest in their fleet & history of diplomatic tensions? Why no mention in SA news or forums? #IRIS #MAKRAN #IranMilitary #IranianRevolution

@Newzroom405 @ThembiMrototo I’d like 2 know if there’s a legal route 2 ending #Eskommonopoly. No point suing if they continue without competition. #Eskom

Despite the approval of a draft statute to abolish criminal penalties for sex work in November, sex workers' lives remain at stake. Justice Edwin Cameron says there has been a pushback against the regulation of sex work from certain groups.

There has been local and international condemnation of the assassination of eSwatini human rights lawyer and political activist Thulani Maseko. Speculation has been rife on who might have ordered the hit. Human rights activist Mark Heywood has more.

@DaveLamula @Nyathi_nsindane Yes. Funny how we seldom hear from the ANCYL these days. As if they’re going by another name

Jonathan Pie used to be a satirical commentator, he is now doing a better job of informing the public, than just about any of the so-called journalists of the toxic tabloids and much of the BBC, most especially Laura Kuenssberg
