On Friday, 21 November 2025, South African women will silence the nation.
We call on all women and members of the LGBTQI+ community across South Africa to refrain from all paid and unpaid work in workplaces, universities, homes, and communities to demonstrate the economic and social impact of their absence.
Because until South Africa stops burying a woman every 2.5 hours, the G20 cannot speak of growth and progress.
We demand that Gender-Based Violence and Femicide be declared a National Disaster. Not tomorrow. Not at another summit. Now!
Join the G20 Women’s Shutdown. Withdraw Your Power on 21 November. Spread the message across South Africa and beyond. Let’s show the world the power of women. #WomenForChange #WomenShutdown #UnburyTheTruth #G20
People need reflection.
I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.
You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.
[THE RECORDING OR PHOTOGRAPHING OF POLICE OFFICIALS WHILE ON-DUTY OR EXECUTING THEIR DUTIES]
There is no prohibition that prevents a private person from recording a police official while the police official is on duty or exercising any power or duty as a police official in public.
A private person is not committing an offence, albeit interference with a member, defeating or obstructing the course of justice or any other offence, merely because he or she is recording the conduct of a police official.
Arrest under these circumstances will be unlawful.
The device used by a person to make such recording or to take a photograph may not be seized, damaged or destroyed merely because a recording was made or a photograph taken of a police official. In addition, such a recording or photograph does not constitute a contravention of the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013 (Act No. 4 of 2013) ("POPIA") and police officials cannot rely on their right to privacy to protect their identity or conduct.
"In a situation of injustice and oppression, there can be no neutrality. You have to take sides! You have to say, am I on the side of justice, or am I on the side of injustice?" Speaking in 1986, when apartheid police were brutal! Patrolling our townships; Assassinations! Disappearances! Tutu, speaking when it matters most!
Why did anyone not tell me about what @tshidi_lee did to that American journalist? She completely destroyed him in that interview. He thought he was interviewing his usual clueless American journalists. She came prepared for him.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is today in Maputo, Mozambique. Protests after the rigged Oct 9 election by ruling party (FRELIMO 49 yrs in power) and killing of two key opposition members.
There's a slow and steady wave across the continent against all these neo colonial tyrants. Africans are tired!
