Whenever we try to hold people accountable, for apartheid crimes in South Africa they claim to have nothing to do with it or were simply not born. Yet they share the same far-right ideology as the apartheid architects. I'm sure they will pass the same values to their children too
This is a bad look for SA on the international stage. Our government's failure to end vigilantism led to these inhumane acts. I'm afraid if the government doesn't take a strong stance against anarchists then we will have a bigger problem on the 30th.
Justice must be served.
The @HomeAffairsSA department confirms 12 babies have been born in Sherwood, where Malawians have been camping since earlier this month.
The last two arrived a day ago.
@eNCA
ORGANISED LABOUR STATEMENT ON MIGRATION & SOUTH AFRICA’S ECONOMIC CRISIS
SA's four Union Federations issued an NB statement today condemning vigilantism, calling for government to act to address peoples legitimate grievances, & act against exploitation of undocumented migrants.
REVEALED: Jewish activists @JAZA_UK have shown us material from inside an Israeli property event in London yesterday, which shows that illegal settlements on Palestinian land were on sale in the UK.
Activists gained access to the event, spoke to numerous developers about the properties for sale in Israeli settlements - which are illegal under British and international law - before they were ejected for disrupting the speeches.
The Board of Deputies, which calls itself a representational body for British Jews, claimed that all properties being sold were inside Israel, however these pamphlets clearly show the opposite is true.
The jokes write themselves ���😂
The president of 'Afrika Mayibuye' is saying Africans must leave SA
Someone should tap @FloydShivambu on his shoulder & school him on the meaning of 'Afrika Mayibuye'
Politicians are deliberately xenophobic in order to boost their political careers
They crack jokes about George Floyd and laugh in our faces, and we do nothing.
They shoot our children in the back and then sentence them as adults for defending themselves and we do nothing.
They call Michelle Obama, the first Black First Lady of the United States a Man, and a Monkey and we do nothing.
They strip away voting rights in the same southern states where we send our best Black athletes to play college sports to make them BILLIONS, and we do nothing.
They openly talk about bringing SLAVERY back, and we do nothing.
We are desensitized to our own disrespect.
Many politicians who we thought had an unshakable stance regarding redress & transformation turned out to be self-serving populist individuals.
We all know how @Mngxitama2 used to fight for land redistribution. It's shocking to find the same man aligning with xenophobic fools.
@bbmhlanga@matinyarare You people are the reason why Zimbabweans are suffering all over the world. We meet these guys & some of them are devastated by the lives they lead outside their country.
Your country will not move forward as long there's still individualism.
@eNCA There's a certain pattern of lawlessness employees of @MojaLoveTv possess. If they're not killing people in broad day light over trumped up charges it's kidnapping people & defeating the ends of justice.
They all think they're above the law because they're on TV.
How convenient is all this spectacle for owners of the means of production! After producing the worst inequality, poverty & economic crisis on the face of the earth… they have finally managed to turn the working class against itself: tragically, with the full endorsement of pseudo revolutionaries who have long masqueraded in our ranks as progressive forces! Sela!
There's no justification whatsoever for Israel's aggression towards Palestinian civilians. There's justification whatsoever for the US's continuation of arming the IDF. If indeed there is any justice in the world those 2 countries should be held accountable for war crimes.
This photo was taken in 2008. I was a young reporter, notebook in hand, in Khayelitsha, trying to make sense of the first wave of xenophobic violence to rip through this country.
I was profoundly affected. I watched Somalian mothers in tents, cradling their babies in disbelief. Spoke to Ethiopian men, almost crying from the shock and pain of it all. I thought: We will never let this happen again.
Yet, here we are.
Eighteen years later and I'm watching the same fires, literal and figurative, and the same dangerous lies spreading faster than ever, turbocharged by social media and amplified by politicians who should know better.
But the numbers do not support the narrative.
Immigrants, documented and undocumented combined, make up roughly 4 million people. That is about 5% of our population. The idea that 5% of the country is responsible for our crime, our unemployment, our collapsing healthcare? It is not just wrong, it is mathematically absurd.
Look at who the Zondo and Madlanga Commissions have implicated. Look at rape statistics: 120 women a day, and a third of South African men have admitted to committing rape. Are we really blaming foreigners for that?
If every undocumented immigrant left tomorrow, your local public hospital would still be broken. Not because of the person standing ahead of you in the queue, but because of corruption, mismanagement and decades of underfunding that have nothing to do with them.
March and March's June 30 deadline is not a peaceful protest. It is a dog whistle. And the media and political figures who treat it as legitimate activism are complicit in what it is actually designed to trigger.
I started https://t.co/z34ZpKPsT3 because I believe that access to accurate, contextual information is not a nice-to-have. It is the foundation of a functioning democracy. And a democracy that allows dangerous misinformation to go unchallenged, that allows real economic despair to be weaponised against the most vulnerable, is one that is putting itself at serious risk.
We have covered this crisis extensively at https://t.co/z34ZpKPsT3. We will keep doing so. Because owe it to each other to do better.

🚨 🇮🇱 THIS IS MASSIVE
An ISRAELI CYBER FIRM just got exposed for running a GLOBAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE OPERATION across five countries, simultaneously.
Read that again.
The moment journalists called BlackCore for comment, the company DELETED ITS ENTIRE INTERNET PRESENCE
This is what a ROGUE STATE does when it can’t win the argument.

She is lying. Brazenly. Israel has forced over a million people (a million!) from their homes, razed entire neighborhoods to the ground, told Christian villagers to not let Shia villagers stay in their villages, and killed multiple first-responders in double tap strikes.
🏆 Referee announced for 2026 #SuperCup!
We're pleased to share that Somali referee Omar Artan will officiate the highly anticipated match between PSG and Aston Villa in Salzburg.
@eNCA She hates our country and she hates our people so why did she government allow her back in the country?
She's not a South African native. She was supposed to back to Netherlands and leave us in peace.
