Recently, I was a guest on @MathewCohenSA's show Power and Politics to discuss the continued diplomatic crisis between the South African government and the Trump Administration, as well as how AfriForum is fighting and building for a better future. youtu.be/-3Yi8KC1_t4?si…
South Africa's political system is broken. Here's why an electoral threshold is needed! @Our_DA @MYANC @VFPlus @Action4SA @OnsBaizaNie youtube.com/watch?v=qZOJ7e…
🇺🇸 🇮🇱 The legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather once again visited Israel by surprise, this time to meet with IDF heroes who had returned from fighting in Gaza. Over the past 2 years, Floyd has donated millions of dollars to IDF soldiers and Israel’s rescue services. God bless him.
From my chat with @ConCaracal about US-SA relations and @afriforum. For the full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=-3Yi8K…
Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with @ConCaracal about the US-South Africa Bilateral Relations Review Act of 2025, @afriforum's US strategy, and the other important work that AfriForum does to uplift South Africans. youtu.be/-3Yi8KC1_t4?si… via @YouTube
This is massive news. The trajectory of South African trade relations will never be the same. The question is, will those in charge, including @MYANC, @Our_DA, and specifically @DIRCO_ZA take the necessary steps to mend US ties before it's too late?
This is what the Naledi Pandor, @DIRCO_ZA and @MYANC approach has brought South Africans. The vast majority of SAcans just want employment, safety and a future for their children. We deserve better. @RepRonnyJackson
While many criticised @Our_DA for remaining in the GNU while withdrawing from the National Dialogue, this may be part of a broader political plan. All this in the latest episode of Power and Politics! #HelenZille #DemocraticAlliance #DA youtube.com/watch?v=L89xNF…
This is sure to give an interesting outlook, especially ahead of the local elections.
Which out of the options is the MOST important when choosing which political party you will vote for in 2026? (Repost for a larger sample size.)
Tune in to the official premiere of the Power and Politics Podcast! In this pilot episode, I talk to @RomanCabanac about SA-US relations, SA's global strategy, @Our_DA, @GaytonMcK , and @helenzille running for Joburg mayor. youtube.com/watch?v=va-5xt…
Eye-opening interview by @Mr_Andrew_Fox and @MrWinMarshall. A detailed, in-depth analysis of what life is like on the ground in the Israel-Hamas war.
'I went to Gaza And this is what I saw’ Middle East specialist Andrew Fox (@Mr_Andrew_Fox) joins me on The Winston Marshall Show for a haunting firsthand account of war crimes, propaganda, and the horrors the media won’t show. We get into: ⚠️ Massacres, child soldiers & human…
Seems like this @MYANC propaganda factory is running out of steam. The question is, do they even realise or care about the damage that they've done to the lives of people such as @twatterbaas and their slander against respectable organisations like @afriforum?
Things are getting rough at @News24
Finally, the US has unapologetic leadership that is unwilling to allow the antisemitic aggression of @FranceskAlbs to go unaccounted for. The decisive leadership of @marcorubio, @realDonaldTrump, and the rest of the current administration has been long-awaited and long overdue.…
Thank you @marcorubio and the USA for standing up against Jew hate.
The more that @MYANC continues on its current foreign policy trajectory, the further behind South Africa falls as other African countries make economic progress. They should have taken the conditions conveyed by @MulderCorn's delegation far more seriously. Hopefully, @afriforum…
President Trump has invited 5 African nations for a White House meeting regarding trade These include: Senegal, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania and Gabon
Yet again, we see someone trying to shift the narrative from what is truly important. South Africans, do not let Paul O’Sullivan distract you from what matters here. The words coming out of #nhlanhlamkhwanazi's mouth are far more important than how he was dressed.
“Who authorised him to dress up in combat uniform, with a dozen men on either side of him to demonstrate he’s a tough guy and he’s going to take on the government? That man needs to be held accountable by the people of this country.” timeslive.co.za/politics/2025-…
Three reasons why the National Dialogue is a TERRIBLE idea: 1. It will cost over R700 million, according to @CyrilRamaphosa (last time I checked, conversations were free) 2. @MYANC hasn't listened to the people in years - why do you think they'll listen to you now? 3. The…
just tuned into this @SONAcoza episode featuring @MulderCorn from the @VFPlus. It's amazing to see how his delegation achieved more than the SA government. Is he perhaps the leader we need? youtube.com/watch?v=VsQXVi…
