SANDF and SAPS Bust Foreign Nationals with Stolen Military Weapons in Pretoria
A joint operation by the SANDF Military Police and SAPS has led to the recovery of stolen military weapons and the arrest of three suspects in Mooiplaas, Pretoria. Acting on intelligence, authorities conducted two operations during June 2026. On 7 June, two foreign nationals were arrested and a multiple grenade launcher as well as an R4 assault rifle were recovered. The suspects appeared in the Atteridgeville Magistrate’s Court, where bail was denied.
A follow-up operation on 17 June resulted in the arrest of a third foreign national and the recovery of another multiple grenade launcher. The suspect is due to make his first court appearance. The Military Police have vowed to continue pursuing those responsible until all outstanding stolen military weapons have been recovered and all suspects brought to justice.
This breakthrough exposes the dangerous reality of stolen military arms circulating in criminal networks.

Namibia is not done asking Germany to pay for the Herero and Nama genocide:
Namibia's Attorney General Festus Katuna Mbandeka renewed the call this week, saying the country is still pushing Germany for real reparations over the genocide of the Herero and Nama people between 1904 and 1908. German colonial forces killed an estimated 65,000 Herero and 10,000 Nama, wiping out roughly 80 percent of the Herero population and half the Nama population at the time. Survivors were forced into concentration camps where thousands died from starvation, disease and forced labor.
Germany has already done the easy part. In 2021 it formally recognized the killings as genocide and issued an apology. What it has not done is pay reparations. Instead Berlin offered 1.1 billion euros in development aid spread over 30 years, money it specifically refused to call compensation. Many Herero and Nama descendants were never consulted on that deal, and they have rejected it ever since.
Mbandeka made clear that recognition and an apology were only the first steps. No amount of money replaces lost lives, but he says reparations and deeper acknowledgment of the genocide's lasting damage are still owed.
Over a hundred years later, the apology came easy. The payment still has not.
Should an apology without real compensation count as justice, or is it just a cheaper way to close the conversation.
We just ordered from Checkers Sixty60

Put South Africans First
Malawi is doing exactly what we should be doing. They are arresting and deporting illegal immigrants, including Ethiopians, without apology.
Recent reports show Malawi is actively enforcing its laws
·In May 2026, they arrested 104 foreign nationals for immigration offences, including Ethiopians, Bangladeshis, and Rwandans.
· They arrested 37 Ethiopian nationals in Salima for illegal entry and 27 more around the same time.
· They deported two Bangladeshis and repatriated 11 Ethiopians in June 2026.
· They even raided the Dzaleka Refugee Camp to root out human trafficking networks involving Ethiopians.
Malawi is not waiting. They are acting. Malawi, a poorer and smaller country, is taking decisive action. They are showing us that it can be done. They are not making excuses. They are not waffling. They are simply enforcing their laws and protecting their people.
So why can't we do it without the fear of being called xenophobic!

The 20th century produced a generation of African leaders who challenged colonialism, apartheid, economic dependency, and foreign influence in their countries. Many paid a heavy price for their political beliefs and activism.
Among the figures are Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso, Steve Biko of South Africa, Amílcar Cabral of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, Samora Machel of Mozambique, and Muammar Gaddafi of Libya. Although their political ideologies, goals, and methods differed, each became a symbol of resistance and self-determination for many people across Africa and the Global South.
Patrice Lumumba became the first Prime Minister of the independent Congo in 1960 and advocated for genuine political and economic sovereignty. Thomas Sankara introduced ambitious reforms aimed at reducing poverty, increasing literacy, and promoting women's rights in Burkina Faso. Steve Biko played a major role in South Africa's Black Consciousness Movement, encouraging Black South Africans to reject the psychological effects of apartheid. Amílcar Cabral helped lead the struggle against Portuguese colonial rule, while Samora Machel became Mozambique's first president after independence. Muammar Gaddafi remains one of the most debated figures in modern African history, praised by some for his pan-African vision and criticized by others for his authoritarian rule.
