This week's podcast is a solo rant on SOME SA media coverage of US-SA relations. I cut through the hysteria surrounding proposed US bills on RSA. The Readiness Report is on YouTube, @Spotify and @dailymaverick. Listen here: youtu.be/iaHqzhsvQdE?si…

#USA🇺🇸: President Donald Trump sues @WSJ and removes journalist from press pool over article regarding his connection to Epstein. State governance should not be overlooked by petty lawsuits against news outlets, violating the First Amendment. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
"Not appropriate."
Trump: Every time they give you a question that is not appropriate, say Obama cheated on the election
Trump coaches Republicans to say “Obama cheated on the election” every time they’re asked about Epstein
A genocide scholar vs. the dude who believes in eugenics and has called antisemitism “the disease of the Arab mind”. Maybe let’s not listen to (nor platform) someone who clearly has a history of racism and dehumanizing others.
They let a genocide scholar write one op ed. Now they’re back on script.
I went to school with someone called Abednego from Sub B to Standard 2 at Saint John Berchmans in Orlando East between 1985 and 1987. He was dof. And incurable domkop. Loud when it mattered least. Just sharing.
Mara what’s wrong with interviewing murder suspects at their homes, and accompanying journalists to an interview when he actually owns and runs a newspaper?
I don't blame them..I read my words again. Hard to tell..I should have used inverted commas ot emojis. Even Mbenenge knows how to use emojis.
Sorry, it went over my people's heads. 🤣
Yes, I know. It was tongue in cheek - maybe not a good one - to reflect the lie. Journalists would not travel with an MMC for that purpose. As trying, poorly maybe, to show that this is not how newsrooms operate.
It was a single, unnamed journalist who works for [his version] Africa News Global [allegedly]. All here: Police find Kenny Kunene at home of DJ Sumbody’s alleged murder mastermind during arrest news24.com/investigations…
Eish guys. This is a tongue-in cheek comment to demonstrate the implausible claim of "accompanying journalists." A bit like the "missing 10 babies." Or the "assassination attempt" on Kenny & that "editor." I was implying that "accompanying journalists" is not make sure.
I imagine that if it is true that the MMC was transporting or accompanying journalists, then the news channel/publications where they work will enforce their editorial & standard codes? Disciplinary hearings, too because why are journalists travelling with an MMC to a suspect's…
Masterful. The team at @africasacountry is always on point!
Wow… this is an excoriating takedown of the know-nothing grifters presenting themselves as Africa ”experts” in DC; an interesting companion piece to your commentary on the SA media’s complicity @RediTlhabi
Well, we all know how in demand you are! Your lucky students will allow you to be lazy and listen to me this time😝😝🥰
😂 and now I am finally getting to watch your discussion with the amazing Carole Cadwalladr – can't believe I'm only getting into your show now. It's because I have other deadlines LOL
Kenny Kunene is so hard working. On top of being an MMC, he is also a chauffeur for journalists? Midday, on a working day, he is busy with his side hustle of transporting journalists to meet people they wanna interview. He really is the MMC of transport 🥺
And in his infinite wisdom, this PUBLIC office bearer, this Deputy President if a political party, does not see anything wrong with 1) having access to a suspect in a murder case, 2) "accompanying" journalists on duty? The crown now fits any head. Mediocrity wears medals now.
Johannesburg Transport MMC and Patriotic Alliance deputy leader Kenny Kunene says he was at the house of a businessman who is suspected to be involved in the murder of DJ Sumbody during his arrest. Kunene says he was accompanying journalists who were going to interview the…
Do yourself a favour and watch the inimitable @RediTlhabi school the South African media on how – time after time – they make themselves PR officers for Republicans, Zionists, and white supremacists 🔥🔥🔥 youtu.be/iaHqzhsvQdE?si…

Yeyi, you're right, the violence with which she was chewing, no wine gum can survive that long, unless it's a Pakistani gum🙈. I used to make yogurts for Woollies - so I knew which country produces the best gum for yoghurt stability🤣.
Typical of some of these political leaders who have a huge sense of entitlement Playing victim and not taking any responsibility their downfall
