🚨 Pro-Ukraine Russian Volunteer Corps took responsibility for 16 drone strikes on military objects in Kursk on 8/27 in a joint operation with Ukraine's SBU. Drones were launched from inside Russia and hit all intended targets, including 4x Su-30 and 1x Mig-29 at an airfield.

Malema: Chinese are like Indians. They think they're close to whiteness. When they practice racism they even become worse than whites. There are even Blacks who mimic whiteness. All of this needs to be confronted. #MalemaOnTouchHD

BEE doyens brawling over their 51% Karpowership stake estimated to be worth a mouthwatering R228bn. Yeah. R228 000 000 000, 00 for a select few☺️🤑

Cde Gwede’s brainchild will secure wealth for 20 generations to come. And - with the usual ANC budget overruns & project mismanagement, I see no reason why this deal won’t have an easy final price tag of R1 trillion. And 0 MW of electricity added to our grid☺️

Jane Austen puts good advice in the mouth of the pressured Fanny Price - trying to refuse Henry Crawford - in Mansfield Park:
“I think it ought not to be set down as certain that a man must be acceptable to every woman he may happen to like himself.”

"The plane will fall apart in mid-air", a video of Prigozhin predicting his death has appeared.

💬"You better kill me, but I won't lie. I have to be honest: Russia is on the brink of disaster. If these cogs are not adjusted today, the plane will fall apart in mid-air", Prigozhin says in the video.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a Russian asset.

Russia state TV Host Evgeny Popov said on his show on Friday that they're hoping to see Ramaswamy as the Republican nominee if their favorite candidate Trump won't make it:

"We should take a closer look at this Mr. Ramaswamy. The last time, we had installed President Trump for Americans...Why not try again? Let’s give it another try and see how Ramaswamy will perform, in case Trump doesn’t manage to win the post of the President.”

Fikile Mbalula is a disgusting excuse for a human being. Celebrating a rigged election. Mnangagwa better not celebrate his dictatorship so soon. This is wrong on so many levels and Zimbabwe is going to pay a heavy price. Only the ANC would celebrate this.

250,000 views in an hour & suddenly deleted! We cannot allow a single worker to be sacked for defending their pay and conditions - the entire trade union movement must rally behind any worker sacked for exercising their fundamental right to strike. THIS MUST END NOW!

EFF will soon be like PAC, very strong base in Universities but close to extinction in society. Their policies are illusions attractive only to children and young adults

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

Both ZANUPF and CCC are claiming presidential election victory.

The victory of either the opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa or the incumbent president, Emmerson Mnangagwa will be resolved through V11s.

Both the opposition CCC and ZANUPF said that they had polling agents at every polling station, so their victory claims shouldn’t be difficult for them to verify.

Any claim to victory without V11s is a waste of time.

To avoid unnecessary blood pressure, let us wait for the production of the V11s.

Well, they already did it to Jordan Peterson and the court said it's perfectly fine. So not only are they threatening to do it, but they already did and got judicial approval.

Let's not forget Mbeki's support of Mugabe in his denial of the election result that would have removed ZANU-PF from power. ANC helped make Zim a basket case.

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

Yesterday ZANUPF MP candidate for Chinhoyi Thomas Chidzomba locked the borehole he drilled after losing to CCC’s Leslie Mhangwa.

As if that was not enough, he came back after some thought and dismantled the equipment for the borehole.

Such people should never be seen anywhere near leadership!

I will always support Western countries like USA & UK because i can easily understand what is happening there. From their politics to arts to sports. With China and Russia we see very little and understand even less. China is a closed country. I don't even know their singers 😂😬

[Luke Burgis @lukeburgis]

A lot of pretty concerning things happening in Africa, being completely overshadowed. My wife’s company had to abandon a facility in Mali recently. Russia and China all over the place, making moves. This stuff all goes completely unreported in western MSM.

[Dean Macpherson MP @DeanMacpherson]

Not content with spending R1.7 million on a staff party, the ANC and EFF in eThekwini will spend nearly R11 million more on further parties. They are sick!
