The SA government is once again caught flat-footed. No plan, no talks, just hoping the US extends the tariff deadline. This isn’t diplomacy, it’s negligence. Jobs, exports and industries are on the line. Hope is not a strategy.
Such a striking difference between them. President Trump looks and sounds like a real leader. Keir Starmer looks and sounds like a deputy store manager who has let the power go to his head.
Can't stop laughing at this 🤣🤣🤣🤣 President Trump: "London Mayor 'Sir' Sadiq Khan is a nasty POS" Starmer the Trotskyist: "But he's my bro, please speak fondly of him in public" President Trump: "I don't care, he's a nasty POS and he's done a terrible job" Absolute…
If a group of White people beat a black person in the street it would be national news for WEEKS time. If a group of Black people beat a White person the media refuses to cover it. THAT is systemic racism.
ANC government. R1 trillion was used to empower 100 ANC comrades. Meaning per person = R10 billion.
A man in Rotherham who asked a polite question about the Koran was soon surrounded by four police officers, told a non-crime hate incident would be recorded and then arrested. The police are enforcing Islamic blasphemy laws. It’s outrageous, says Hugo Timms…
This morning, I got a text from my boss that said, “Hey, I need to talk to you.” Instantly, my stomach dropped. A few minutes later, he sent me screenshots Facebook had flagged one of my posts about Dr. Moore and COVID… and their AI system actually reached out to him to ask if…
There is no such thing as “safe sex”. All sex carries psychological consequences, and all sex at reproductive ages carries a risk of conceiving a child and transmitting an STD
"Judge, how many years of the rest of your life are you willing to spend on a commission that will be ignored?"
Later today (at 16:00) Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga will address a press briefing on the establishment of the #MadlangaCommission of inquiry into allegations by Lt Gen #Mkhwanazi. The Commission must start immediately after he steps downs from the @ConCourtSA on Thursday.
I hate this useless fuck. Even more than Zuma. Didn't think it possible..
Deserving to be despised, very bad and unpleasant person, and worthy of contempt. Corrupt.
Emma Louise Powell bullied into resigning by Ramaposa's state security goons. This GNU thing is going really well, isn't it?
Oh dear me, @Our_DA foreign affairs spokesperson has just RESIGNED. This podcast may have been her her last official interview 😳😳😳
I’ve had four seperate billionaires message me offering to pay the $24,000 fine but I rejected all offers and I’m going to go to prison instead out of principle because I don’t think I should have to pay it. IT WAS A BLANK SIGN. THIS IS WRONG
If you wonder how the EU could agree to such a humiliating deal: It’s because the EU has no political leverage. It has outsourced its energy needs, neglected its defense, sabotaged its industry, regulated away any innovation, and generally failed to become an indispensable…
Nonsense! Apartheid ended 31 years ago in South Africa. We are now responsible for the progress of our communities and for holding our leaders to account in a democratic South Africa. Our focus should be on building for the future. We can do it! #economy #politics #apartheid
In a few weeks, we’ll be in the Cape Flats, former Bantustans, and sites of forced removals, where apartheid never really ended. We’ll draw the parallels to Palestine, because when you’ve lived state violence, you recognise it, no matter the flag or excuse.
Every thing has a beginning and it has the end……All of you have reached your end without improving people’s lives……
So your ideal society is one where no one owns anything, no one trades, and everyone just works for the tribe, expecting nothing in return. That’s not civilization. That’s pre-civilization. Yes, early humans lived in small tribes, just like wolves and apes. And guess what? They…
We build communities long before trade. The hunters didn't trade the meat to the gatherers, everyone did all of it for the entire tribe. That's the natural state of humanity, small tribes working together.
I would say, just cancel this whole national dialogue. Firstly, it is led by dishonest ANC members with a couple of questionable people who are now referred to as, 'eminent.' A national dialogue shouldn't be run by a political party that has ulterior motives, and the president…
When they tell you to “punch a TERF,” they’re telling you to punch a woman who says no to men.
A message for the hacks at @guardian @BBCNews @Daily_Express @nytimes and every other outlet that exploited an image of a child with cerebral palsy .... You exploited the image of a child with cerebral palsy to push a lie about famine. You did this because you are all running…
I wonder how much of Powell's resignation had to do with the outrageous ANC attempts to intimidate her and how much had to do with the lamentable lack of support she got from the DA contingent in the GNU -- inluding the leader of the DA -- which did sweet fuckall to support her.
Resignation as DA International Relations Spokesperson Issued: 28 July 2025 By Emma Louise Powell, MP After careful reflection, I have taken the decision to step down as Spokesperson on International Relations for the Democratic Alliance (DA). Over the past two and a half…
