@StateDept @SecRubio How touching that the ideologue is so empathetic that his attempts to engineer regime change in Iran is motivated primarily his humane concern for the people of Iran..

As we end the year It would be remiss of us not "Honoring the legacy of one of the most brilliant and humble, jurist,former Chief Justice of South Africa, Raymond Zondo. His wisdom, integrity, and dedication to justice have left an indelible mark on our nation.For generations to come his work will be used as artsy material. A truly humble man with the highest ethical and moral character. A true beacon of leadership and fairness. I hope and pray he is enjoying his retirement.
South Africa needs more people like ex chief justice Raymond Zondo.
Thank you for your service to this nation. We appreciate in.
Hopefully Zondo could be used in the for other enquiries.

FROM THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH, FORMER JUSTICE RAYMOND ZONDO WE SALUTE YOU

Mozambique is burning.

If you say abahambe but you don’t stand up to those who rig elections in SADC, then you don’t even understand what is causing mass immigration into South Africa.

If you say put South Africa first but fail to condemn Zanu PF and Frelimo then you want to put South Africa last.

We cannot have failing democracy in the region and not have mass immigration. These oppressive regimes in eSwatini, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are the cause of the immigration issue you say you care about.

From day one I have said, South Africa should not support dictatorship in this region. Not only is it against our values, it is against our interests and against our pockets.

Again we cannot be louder about Ukraine and Israel than we are about Sudan, DRC, Cameroon, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. We must be loudest when the lives affected are African lives, when the fire burns down even our home.

If we leave Mozambique to burn, that fire will not stop at Lebombo border. It will not stop this year. We are introducing crisis into this region, into our home.

@FranceskAlbs I think it is the end of Western "civilisation". We have reverted to the lowest form of life

@Ike_Saul Brilliant. As it happens I agree with every word. It is the most balanced and sane piece I have read since the Hsmas attsck took place.

[John Battersby @SARising]

@Ike_Saul Brilliant. I served as the Christian Science Monitor's Middle East Correspondent based in Jerusalem from 1994-96 and I agree 100% with your balanced approach and reasoning and the futility of taking sides in this tragic and terrible 75-year-okd conflict.
