South Africa tops lists for race-based laws, with over 140 statutes including BEE ownership quotas, employment equity targets and preferential procurement.

Malaysia follows via extensive Bumiputera preferences in education, public jobs, business equity and housing.

India ranks high with caste reservations (often 50%+) in education, government jobs and politics.

Singapore enforces strict ethnic quotas in public housing for 80% of residents.

Brazil applies racial quotas up to 50% in federal universities and some public roles.

Dear Mr President,

6,596 reported rapes in three months. Around 72 every day. Three every hour. One every 20 minutes.

Government classified gender-based violence and femicide as a national disaster.

My question to you, the President, is simple: what actually changed?

Can we get daily updates please:
1. @SAPoliceService further investigation regarding threat of violence and intimidation,
2. @HomeAffairsSA on his status in the country,
3. @SANRAL_za contract status and how he manipulated processes and obtained BEE status,
4. @Treasury_RSA his company registration status,
5. @sarstax verify tax affairs and unleash the mighty of the tax man.
6. @NPA_Prosecutes, additional charges contemplated before Oct 1st.

All state organs should uncompromisingly harrass and arrest GBV perpetrators, give no space for them to breath and continue committing crimes.

So the context of this story is that this was a mother and her daughters who had gone out to dinner on Friday night and she had even taken her young son. #itstopswithme

At a crocodile farm in Vietnam, a worker preparing to slaughter the crocodiles tore out those poor lives by giving them an electric shock, then took them to the abattoir.

A crowd of Black people in South Africa is singing: “White men, you must d*e.”

They are calling for the genocide of Whites. Why is legacy media not reporting about this?

A man threatens to murder women who apparently rejected his advances, suggesting his wealth will protect him.
With @SAPoliceService renewing its commitment to tackling GBV after the discovery of murdered women in Ekurhuleni, this will test how serious that commitment really is.

This is a DA councillor who works in Geordin Hill-Lewis’s office.

Can the DA please comment on this? Is this now the official position of the DA?

Dear @SecRubio

You’ll find this black South African woman living in the US has an extensive record. From comments about Charlie Kirk, supporting anti-White policies and now insulting the American ambassador to South Africa, @BrentBozell .

Please send ICE to help her on her journey back to Africa. Anywhere on the continent will do.

[Barry Bateman @barrybateman]

Worth noting - the deceased was also robbed. His phone was in his right hand and dropped when shot in the back. The murderer returns to grab it off the floor. SAPS have the car and the phone location to work with. I read some reports that the deceased was taking pics of the cars following a minor collision - that could also explain why the murderer grabbed the evidence.

@awscloud just published the quiet part out loud in South Africa; their R365 million “Equity Equivalent Investment Program” is open to 100% Black-owned ICT businesses only.

One White shareholder and you are disqualified. Rumor? No. That is the eligibility form.

They call this “fostering diversity and inclusion.” In the same breath they define “Black” as Africans, Coloreds and Indians and then slam the door on anyone with a White name on the share register. Diversity, apparently, now means racial exclusion with a corporate logo on it.

A US company that spent years lecturing America about inclusion is perfectly happy to run a color bar in South Africa because that is how you buy B-BBEE points and keep the government sweet.

They would never dare run the same programme in Seattle. They know exactly what it is. They just calculated that White South Africans are the cheapest group to throw under the bus.

This is not "redress." This is a global corporation helping the ANC finish the job of locking White entrepreneurs out of the digital economy they helped build, then calling the result “empowerment.” R365 million to tell White founders their skin is the problem.

If this is inclusion, then the word no longer means anything. It means, "stay out unless you have the approved ancestry." Amazon just put it in writing.

@JeffBezos, shame on you.

Shocking. Didn’t think it was possible for them to stoop any lower but here we are. Robbing a South African icon at her peak of her hard earned prize money. The whole Swimming SA executive needs to be replaced with administrators that understand what it takes to perform at the highest levels.

The News24 article about rape kits misses the central issue.

No one disputes that SAPS may have thousands of rape kits somewhere within its national inventory (even though we checked national supply chain and they hardly had any). That was never the concern.

The real question is this:

When a rape survivor walks into an FCS Unit at 2 a.m., is a rape kit immediately available at that unit so that evidence can be collected without delay?

That is the standard against which the system should be judged.

On 14 and 15 May this year (amongst more than 15 other unannounced visits), we conducted oversight visits to specialised Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences (FCS) Units in the Western Cape. We did not rely on reports or spreadsheets. We visited the units, inspected facilities and engaged directly with investigators.

At Nyanga FCS we uncovered that rape kits were, well, NON-EXISTENT, they had ZERO!

Members indicated that kits had to be sourced elsewhere when urgently required, the same at Mitchells Plain FCS at that stage. That should never happen at a specialised sexual offences unit.

The same visit exposed an equally serious operational crisis. Only 3 of the unit’s 12 vehicles were operational. Detectives responsible for investigating rape and child abuse cases were expected to serve one of the country’s busiest areas with just 25% vehicle availability.

At Worcester FCS we found investigators responsible for ten police stations spread across vast rural areas, including Laingsburg, requiring extensive travel while operating with limited resources.

Taken together, these findings paint a picture of specialised units under enormous pressure. The issue extends far beyond procurement. It is about whether the frontline system is capable of delivering justice to victims when every minute counts.

The responses quoted in the News24 article do not actually refute what we found during oversight. They focus on procurement processes and national stock figures. They do not answer the practical question of whether rape kits were immediately available where investigators and victims needed them.

A rape kit sitting in a provincial warehouse or another police facility is of little value if investigators first have to locate and fetch it while a traumatised survivor waits.

Equally concerning is that none of us have received these responses directly, despite a formal legal letter having been addressed to the Minister. It is disappointing that detailed responses appear in the media before they are provided to the Member of Parliament who conducted the oversight.

If SAPS believes our findings are incorrect, the answer is simple.

Publish the stock registers.

Publish the records showing where rape kits were physically stored at each FCS Unit on the dates of our oversight visits.

Publish replenishment records.

Publish how often members had to obtain kits from other facilities.

Publish the contingency procedures when kits were unavailable on site.

That evidence would resolve this matter quickly.

South Africans are not interested in how many rape kits exist somewhere in the national supply chain.

They want to know that when a woman or child reports one of the most traumatic crimes imaginable, the rape kit is there, the trained investigator is there, the vehicle is available, and the investigation begins immediately.

That is the standard victims deserve.

PS: the national answer with regards to rape kits does not address provincial problems. Provincial supply chain is the responsible entity to ensure adequate distribution to specialised units, not some national register.

Just saw The Odyssey. Despite what you may have heard, literally all of the criticisms by conservatives were entirely correct. The movie is just as woke as you fear, if not more so. The DEI casting is atrocious. Completely takes you out of the story right from the beginning. But even worse than that is Nolan’s decision to turn Odysseus into an anachronistic whiney, solemn shell of a man plagued by “trauma” and guilt. It’s impossible to overlook these flaws because the film itself is not terribly entertaining or well constructed. For the most part it is disjointed, dull, self-serious, disenchanted, somehow feeling both verbose and overly rushed at the same time. The dialogue is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a “critically acclaimed” film. “On the nose” and “clunky” are descriptions that can’t even begin to describe this script. At no point in the story does Nolan ever transport the audience to the ancient world. You never feel like you’re 3,000 years in the past. You feel like you’re watching modern Americans put on a pageant, because you are. Nobody would be calling this thing a masterpiece if it was made by a director not named Christopher Nolan.

SA ambassador Roelf Meyer admits revoking Trump's Afrikaner refugee order will be tough

SOUTH AFRICA — South Africa's ambassador to the United States, Roelf Meyer, has publicly conceded that efforts to have President Donald Trump's executive order on Afrikaner refugees revoked face significant obstacles, citing the unpredictability of the current White House administration.
