Receiving a shout out from the massive platform, @unwinetashak on her latest episode is an incredible compliment. Thank you Tasha K for the amazing shout out about #ThePolygamist - a South African @netflixsa @stainedglasstv1 supernovela which is adapted from the 2012 novel by @suenyathi. Your mention helps to amplify this story to the world.

Playing “Jonasi” was an honour.

Thank you also to the Winos for watching. We appreciate the love.

Repatriated Malawians from South Africa have commended the government for their safe return.

The returnees say they finally feel safe after facing life-threatening situations during the recent xenophobic attacks in South Africa.

The Government of Zimbabwe, like any administration that truly values its people, holds the safety and well-being of its nationals as a matter of deepest concern. To date, we have been able to repatriate 660 of our citizens from South Africa, and we remain committed to supporting all those who wish to return home. If you or someone you know requires assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our embassy and consulates. We will leave no one behind.

Mpiloni le, Molemo?

[Kaya News @KayaNews]

BREAKING: Rapper and television personality Molemo Maarohanye, popularly known as Jub Jub, has been arrested and is facing three charges, including defeating the ends of justice.

The charges stem from an alleged altercation involving an e-hailing driver. During the incident, the rapper reportedly discharged a firearm in the direction of the driver.

Jub Jub is expected to appear in the Germiston Magistrate's Court tomorrow.

We are getting all these high end history lessons because people don't want to fix their countries?

[African Hub @AfricanHub_]

Nelson Mandela was sheltered in Nigeria 🇳🇬 for six months in 1962 by former Nigerian minister Mbazulike Amaechi while evading the apartheid regime.

Former South African President Thabo Mbeki also lived in Nigeria between 1977 and 1984.

In 1963/1964, Nigerian statesman Jaja Wachuku played a key role in saving Mandela from receiving the death penalty.

Brown Mogotsi tells us in court that he has a lot to say but will speak after. He says in his bail application there are facts.

This after the state opposed his bail and a supplementary affidavit submitted to prove he did provide a legit address and did NOT bribe the IO.

A nation becoming Zimbabwe lies solely on the citizenry. The RSA leaders you mention were raised by RSA communities who instilled certain values in them. Leaders are products and reflection of society. What values do you instill on your leaders to produce such?

[Fadzayi Mahere🇿🇼 @advocatemahere]

🔸The difference between a nation becoming South Africa and a nation becoming Zimbabwe lies more in the leadership than the citizenry.

Mandela left power peacefully and voluntarily after five years. Mugabe destroyed the economy and brutalized the people but refused to leave for almost four decades and had to be forced out through a coup.

Mbeki left power when he had most support. Mugabe refused to leave when he lost an election and instead, unleashed an orgy of violence and chopped off people’s hands.

Ramaphosa allows the opposition to oppose him and he works to be accountable. Others dismember, abduct and ban opposition politicians to avoid accountability.

I could go on but the bottom line is - if your leaders still listen to the people, submit to state institutions and are prepared to leave power, be very grateful for them.

Until you’ve had toxic leaders who won’t leave but instead govern through force, violence and coercion, don’t knock the citizens of nations where such toxic leaders have run amok.

How many liberation wars must be fought before a nation is free?

We need new leaders.🇿🇼

[Samuel Ndlovu @Londza]

We're not lucky my sister. It's hard work from citizens, what you refer to as 'public pressure'.

[Fadzayi Mahere🇿🇼 @advocatemahere]

🔸Whatever opinion you may hold concerning the landscape, you have to accept that South Africa is a true constitutional democracy. When you have a leader who still has skin on his face and is at pains to explain himself in response to public pressure, your nation is not broken. In fact, you have no idea how lucky you are.

We need new leaders.🇿🇼

SECRETARY RUBIO: We’re asking the UN to call on Iran to stop blowing up ships, remove the mines, and allow humanitarian relief.

If the international community can’t rally behind this and solve something so straightforward, then I don’t know what the utility of the UN system is.

[Samuel Ndlovu @Londza]

You defeated colonialists way before SA and were successful way before us. Suddenly, you're helpless!! You know very well how to remove regimes that don't serve you, you've done it before. No one is going to do it for you, certainly not social media essays.

STATEMENT ON PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE OF AFRICAN NATIONALS IN SOUTH AFRICA ~NELSON CHAMISA.
(For immediate release)
Date: 4 May 2026
1. As a Citizen movement, we extend appreciation and respect to the people and Government of the Republic of South Africa for the warmth, hospitality, and solidarity extended to African nationals in South Africa, who are in circumstances of need, exposure, and vulnerability.

[Samuel Ndlovu @Londza]

Zim society can't identify which issues require collective resolution & to act collectively. The weakest and the easiest regime to topple. ZDI is literally dead, you've got hungry baton carrying police in the streets. SA has done enough to give you space to resolve your issues.

[Tinashe @baba_nyenyedzi]

Can South Africa intervene in Zimbabwe?

To those who claim South Africa has not done enough on Zimbabwe, can they please articulate what enough would look like? From my vantage point, SA has done more than enough. It has carried the diplomatic burden, absorbed the economic refugees, lived with the spillover and still gets spoken of as if Pretoria has some magic lever it refuses to pull.

Intervention does not remain trapped in communiqués forever. The spectrum eventually becomes force. It becomes sanctions, blockades, troops, money and very often unintended consequences. Zimbabwe tried this intervention thing in the DRC and ended up in an endless and vacuous war. Bonyongwe’s book says it cost billions in Military costs and helped push the economy towards collapse. DRC, 26 years later is still unresolved. Only America can afford these unintended consequences certainly not SA and its fragile economy.

Economic sanctions by South Africa would hurt SA and Zimbabwe itself. They would disrupt trade, punish ordinary people and send even more economic refugees south.

SA has worked through SADC. It helped engineer the GNU that gave Zimbabwe economic stability and growth. SADC and the Commonwealth have been scathing about our elections. Did that change anything? Even the AfDB debt and arrears process, championed by Adesina and Chissano as facilitator, has dragged on through endless structured dialogue, platforms and roadmaps, with no decisive breakthrough. AfDB itself was still calling for “more effort” in April 2025 after two years of that process.

The harder truth is that Zimbabwe’s crisis cannot be outsourced to Pretoria. A neighbour can mediate, absorb pressure and plead. It cannot become the substitute government of another sovereign country. South Africa has done enough. Those who say otherwise must tell us what they actually want done, how far they are willing to go and who they expect to pay the price.

[WATCH] SAPS has welcomed Sergeant Fannie Nkosi being kept behind bars until Monday for a formal bail application. SAPS spokesperson Athlenda Mathe says this gives them time to strengthen their case to oppose bail. She adds that Nkosi had a .38 special revolver hidden in the mattress, an R5 rifle under the bed and 6 dockets for violent crimes such as CIT robberies and carjacking, stored in the backroom. #Newzroom405
