You know what is VERY funny about AfriForum, Solidarity, Common Sense and all their friends in Hermanus, Cape Town and North of Glenhove? They are excitable and analyzing @RonaldLamola 's UNGA activities in isolation. You would need to listen to ALL the speeches from today's session to understand the geopolitical posturing on the US. You have to REALLY hear what Heads of State, Prime Ministers, Presidents, are saying from the UN podium. South Africa's position at #UNGA81 must be seen in the context of the global push back against US Foreign Policy. From the EU, to South America, Asia to the Middle East, it is ubiquitous. South Africa's messaging and tone are not out of step with everyone else's. Only the domestic "baases" want RSA to say "yes baas" on the Global stage. The storm will be weathered. Stay steady. You don't bow down to a president with a record low of below 32%. You flex. You speak to allies. You renew your engagement strategy. The verkramptes at home will soon learn.
SYMBOLIC MEANING OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL NHLANHLA MKHWANAZI'S SPECIAL TASK FORCE INSIGNIA/EMBLEMS
Just to give you an understanding of the Elite level of General Mkhwanazi, that he is no ordinary Police Officer, and the meaning behind the Special Task Force emblems he wears on the left chest of his uniform. You can zoom in on the pictures to get the meaning clearly.
The Parachute Wings: Those pins they were pinning on the Officers in the video I shared yesterday.
Featuring an open parachute in the middle, flanked by extended wings, this pin signifies that the operator has completed a two years high-level tactical airborne training. It qualifies them to deploy operationally via parachute into hostile territories during high risk hostage releases or counter-terrorism missions.
The Operator Badge (The "Crown" and Emblem): What appears to be a crown is actually an open laurel wreath encircling a central crest. Within this wreath is a golden peregrine falcon holding a trident (Neptune's fork) over a downward-pointing sword
Each symbol represents a specific combat capability:
■ The Sword: Represents the "sword of justice" and advanced tactical combat operations on land
■ The Peregrine Falcon: Symbolizes the extreme speed, precision, and skill of the unit's airborne strikes
■ The Trident/Fork: Indicates specialized maritime warfare and scuba diving training required to handle acts of piracy or ship hijackings at sea
■ The Laurel Wreath: Symbolizes the profound prestige and honor of surviving the selection phase to become an official elite operator
Why General Mkhwanazi wears this badge on the left side of his uniform:
The Tradition of the Heart
In military and police traditions worldwide, badges signifying a member's highest personal achievements or life-risking qualifications are worn on the left breast, directly over the heart. Additionally, the STF badge is intentionally manufactured so that the peregrine falcon faces inward, symbolically looking toward the recipient's heart to represent loyalty and duty
Please note that General Mkhwanazi was the Head of SAPS's Special Task Force, the overall Commander, Section Head, for 6 years, from February 2005 to 2011. So please put respect to his name. He's no mickey mouse cop. 😊
Sibonge njalo Shamase, Ndonga, Mwelase, Nkwali ye Nkosi, for fighting for our country. Thank you for your service Sir. 🫡🙏🏽❤️🇿🇦

This is Dr Wouter Basson aka Dr Death.
He is loved by Afriforum so much that he’ll soon be explaining to them how he killed over 229 anti-apartheid activists.
He supplied poison that was used to eliminate SWAPO activists who were drugged and pushed over aircrafts over the sea.
He developed infertility toxins intended for black townships.

Lebeya called them "A Trio". 😂
Can I please make one thing clear ladies and gentlemen, I will defend these General Masemola, General Mkhwanazi and General Khumalo any time any day. We have seen and heard enough already to know that there is no time to sit on fences and claim to be "impartial", when these men have stood up and sacrificed so much, put their lives on the line, to fight against a Cartel and syndicates that want to destroy our country and the future of our children.
So just so you are not confused when you come to my Timeline, I support these Generals and I don't care what you think of me. Whether you call it a camp, a faction, I don't care.
I just needed to get this out of my chest this morning.
I thank you. Have a good day. 🙏🏽😊
