@Sophie_Mokoena I hope you are well. I have questions about Burkina Faso. I think you might help as you were there recently. Please DM me your number.

@AdriaanBasson @ninetyone_sa @News24 Welcome news. How I wish corporate SA would put it
s money where its collective mouth is, and save City Press.

My statement on Venezuela.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.

It’s about oil and regime change.

And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from Epstein + skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Let us dedicate this Christmas Eve and Christmas Day tomorrow to the children of Gaza who continue to be killed and maimed by the genocidal Zionist #ApartheidIsrael regime.

Palestine 🇵🇸 shall be free from the River to the Sea! ✊🏾

“Whites must be made to realize that they are only human, not superior. Same with Blacks. They must be made to realize that they are also human, not inferior.” - Steve Biko

Apartheid was a violent legal system that stripped Black South Africans of citizenship, land, movement, education, and skilled work. Today’s redress policies are not “anti-white laws.” Equating the two is historically illiterate, morally bankrupt, and deliberately dishonest.

South Africa is more peaceful than the United States.

[Kumi Naidoo @kuminaidoo]

These old photos remind me how many of us stood up in those days—not because we were brave, but because the times demanded it.

If there is anything “progressive” about those pages of history, it’s because so many ordinary people chose courage over comfort.

The struggle continues, and I’m grateful to walk it with the many people who are fighting for justice, peace, dignity, and sustainability.

[Tshepo or Vusi @Mikedotcoza]

South African “townships” didn’t appear naturally. Apartheid built them. Forced removals created entire communities designed for poverty and distance from economic opportunity. That spatial engineering is still very much effective.

This is the UP Medicine class of 2025. Despite the loud claims that white children are “discriminated” from studying in SA universities, more than half this class is white, while white South Africans make up only about 7% of the population.

What did we do wrong to deserve this level of service from @CleanerJoburg @DadaMorero @CityofJoburgZA? This is Boulder Avenue, Berario, just after they'd picked up to the trash. The truck that usually comes earlier to collect recyclable stuff did not pitch, same as two weeks ago.

@goolamv You say giving CR a third term would set a dangerous precedent, yet you say it should happen. Do you know how illogical and ridiculous you sound?

@Lebona_cabonena Millions? Really?
