The Government of South Africa rolls out the red carpet for Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, while Deputy President Mashatile is in Beijing deepening ties with China. Pretoria calls this "non-alignment." We call it what it is: a choice. The South African people deserve an honest conversation about who their government is choosing to stand with. #NotSoNonAligned

Paul claims to be Irish specifically from Dublin.Would the investigation committee in SA not ask him to say a few phrases in Gaelic our native language! If he can't he's a fraud and not Irish.
British secret service spy !
Dear South Africans Paul O Sullivan none of us have ever heard of him in Ireland yet alone knew he was born in Dublin.A Dublin accent you dont just lose over night ! Also noting about him in our media 🙄
Today I witnessed something that broke my heart.
A call centre advertised posts in Woodmead.
Thousands of young people arrived.
Among them were my two daughters.
One has an LLB degree.
The other is a qualified graphic designer.
Both graduates.
Both standing in a queue for a call-centre job.
That is the reality of South Africa in 2026.
This is not laziness.
This is not lack of skills.
This is not young people refusing to work.
This is an economy that has collapsed for the working class.
We have seen this pain before.
In Johannesburg, a young woman died in a stampede simply trying to apply for Metro Police posts.
In Cape Town, thousands slept outside a stadium overnight just to submit job applications.
Today it’s call centres.
Tomorrow it will be something else.
Meanwhile ministers sit comfortably and tell young people that they are basking in the sun, totally out of touch with the desperation in our homes.
Our children are qualified.
Our children are willing.
Our children are trying.
But there are no jobs.
South Africa cannot survive like this.
We need:
• public investment
• factories
• infrastructure
• decent work
• an end to austerity
Not empty speeches.
The youth are not failing.
The system is failing them.

JUST IN: China's top chip producer SMIC is trialling the country's 'first domestically produced advanced chipmaking equipment in an effort to challenge western rivals' in the production of artificial intelligence processors, according to Financial Times report.
The art of sitting back, doing nothing, and winning. US tariffs will always hurt US companies and consumers more. Incredible how so many people don’t understand simple economics
