New op-ed out!

Our Home, Land and Rural Democracy team led by @ThutoGabaphethe is co-ordinating comments on proposed amendments to laws around evictions.

Here are some of the issues with the draft Bill: https://t.co/guFr1cNUUD

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The genocide in Gaza continues, and there is no ceasefire. Netanyahu is openly announcing the military takeover of 70 percent, and ultimately all, of Gaza. Four more children in Gaza were killed by U.S.-funded Israeli bombs yesterday. No more excuses: Arms Embargo now.

Reminder: CALS is looking for a candidate legal practitioner to join our team.

Applications close 15 May 2026

Sanity prevails. On the admitted facts, the JSC concluded that the conduct of JP Mbenenge is not misconduct simpliciter but amounts to gross misconduct.

Huge congratulations to our @ThutoGabaphethe who graduated with an LLM from @WitsUniversity on 24 March!

His dissertation was entitled “The right to self-determination for the Khoi-San people in the Western Cape region of South Africa”

Free Palestine
I support #PalestineAction
Yvette Cooper ex Home Secretary
Should be locked up for lying to us
And Judge Jeremy Johnson
Should be disbarred
They are both lackeys of
The Genocidal state of Israel

This is deeply disturbing. Ahmed Shihab-Eldin should be released immediately and afforded all his legal and human rights. Speech and journalism are not crimes!

When Dr Imtiaz Sooliman was called to the podium to be honoured with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (honoris causa), a rousing applause filled UCT's Sarah Baartman Hall.

Dr Sooliman, one of South Africa’s most distinguished humanitarian leaders and the founder of Gift of the Givers, acknowledged the applause with a wave and stood with a composed pose as his citation was read out on 30 March 2026. #UCTGrad2026

I’m not sure I can take another week of people who support genocide pretending that @hasanthehun, one of the most effective critics of that genocide, is the evil one.

Israel and the United States murdered international law in Palestine and are performing its burial rites over Iran.

Our Sheena Swemmer marks 70 years since the 1956 #WomensMarch by reflecting on the work of current activists such as those at @EmbraceZA working towards ending #ObstetricViolence

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States are illegal, unprovoked and unjustifiable.

Peace and diplomacy was possible. Instead, Israel and the United States chose war.

This is the behaviour of rogue states — and they have jeopardised the safety of humankind around the world with this catastrophic act of aggression.

Our government must condemn this flagrant breach of international law, and urgently pursue a foreign policy based on justice, sovereignty and peace.

[Shaiel Ben-Ephraim @academic_la]

This is an absolute inversion of what happened. Jews on the right happily promoted and sometimes even hired Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and Nick Shirley and delighted in their attacks on people of color. Then they acted incredulous when the monster they created turned on them.

[Robert Krause @RobKrause83]

More gaslighting and a middle finger to Palestinians seeking solidarity against genocide and apartheid. The problem is state founded on a racist ideology not just the present right wing government. And the majority of Jewish Israelis support the genocide in Gaza

[CONSEQUENCE @consequence]

Johnny Greenwood has reaffirmed his stance that politics should not define artistic collaboration.

“I think music and art should be above and beyond political concerns... If I’m supposed to stop working with musicians because I dislike their governments then I wouldn’t work with any of them. The fact is, what defines us as musicians isn’t our nationalities. But that point doesn’t seem to get through.” https://t.co/wyYJanqLXW

The Roedean Board should do the right thing and reinstate the Principal. It pushed her out - rather than supporting her. It bowed to Zionist pressure.

[Tariq Ali @TariqAli_News]

The well-orchestrated campaign against Francesca Albanese by the Euro-elite and pro-Israeli apologists knows no bounds. She has done an amazing job and waged an effective one-person campaign that speaks for millions all over the globe. One of the few decent things to come out of the UN since the genocide began. She shouldn't worry too much. Italy awaits. And she can still carry on doing what she does for the Gazans.

[Tom London @TomLondon6]

This is moral cowardice of the highest order from Wim Wenders

Profoundly shameful

[Ayesha Bagus @Ayesha_Bagus]

Well done to those at Roedean School who tried to take a stand.

Genocide is wrong.
Apartheid is wrong.

If KD openly supports Israel and the IDF, that is a political choice. The children pressured to defend it will carry the weight of that complicity for the rest of their lives.

[Abby Martin @AbbyMartin]

By cutting off all fuel to Cuba, Trump is sadistically starving the population into submission: hospitals closing, transport collapsing, severe food/medicine rationing. The US blockade is now a genocidal siege designed to kill Cubans. It must be stopped - solidarity & action NOW!
