@ZimasaMatiwane @BalticDanny ...and why would the Lithuanian government open a migration centre in Zimbabwe if they want to bring Zulus to Lithuania? Zulus are from South Africa and not Zimbabwe. Uninformed rant.

South Africa is here because Zambia was there. We have always looked upto Lusaka. To see them bend the knee like this hurts.

Thank you Minister. South Africa is not an island, we are part and parcel of this great continent. Violence against an African on South African soil is violence against our own selves. The rule of law must prevail.

[Minister: International Relations and Cooperation @RonaldLamola]

We must not lose our sense of humanity when we confront the problems we have as a nation.

There is no justification for taking the law into your own hands, our laws must be adhered by citizens and visitors.

We do not at all condone illegal
immigration we are determined to address this by strengthening the capacity of the law agencies and our legal instruments. And crucially we will continue engaging all the stakeholders including our partners on the continent and beyond about the root causes that lead to some of the immigration challenges we face.

It would be nice if you spineless cowards also stood in solidary with South Africa following its unwarranted exclusion from the G20 by that Orange Apparition in Washington. But we know you'll never do that because courage is not a value that is known to your institution.

The African Union Commission stands in solidarity with the people and Government of the Republic of South Africa in commemorating Freedom Day.

It's such a topsy-turvy world where Tucker Carlson comes across as the more sensible one than Bill Maher, and where DL Hughley has better political analysis than any of the pundits on legacy media channels. SABC News is now more credible than ENCA. How did we get here?
