MP 🇿🇦|@Our_Da Spokesperson: Foreign Affairs 🌍| Masters, IR (UCT). Mandela Washington Fellow. Munich Young Leader (MSC). Headlights beating through the dark.
The USA denied Jonas a diplomatic visa and rejected his credentials. The Presidency owes South Africa an explanation as to why it doubled down on the appointment of a Special Envoy who was officially rejected by the recipient government. da.org.za/2025/07/91147
As President Ramaphosa navigates Pennsylvania Avenue this week, he faces a defining choice: reset or rebuke. For South Africa’s sake, he must choose wisely. dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/20…
South Africa has been warned that it is dangerously close to being priced out of the world’s largest market unless Pretoria begins to take US objections seriously. businesstech.co.za/news/governmen…
The ANC’s love affair with dictators is hurting 🇿🇦. Their deference to Putin, Tehran & co. has now led the US House Foreign Affairs Committee to pass a bill to review SA’s trade benefits & impose sanctions on ANC cronies. We warned them: authoritarian friends come at cost.
South Africa made its choice when they abandoned America and our allies and sided with communists and terrorists. Today, my bill to fully review America’s relationship with South Africa and give President Trump the tools necessary to hold their corrupt government accountable…
Congressman Ronny Jackson, who authored bill to review bilateral relationship between USA & South Africa says the legislation has passed through committee. If House votes to pass legislation, it will head to the Senate. Unclear when a full House vote will take place after…

I am a lifelong liberal who has represented South Africa with distinction on the world stage, often under very difficult circumstances. I've waved our flag high, and I've told the truth. The ANC has been exposed for misleading the public and failing to act as the US tariff…
The ANC notes with concern the ongoing disinformation campaign by Democratic Alliance MP Emma Powell against South Africa, and her apparent efforts to undermine the South African government's response to the United States' new tariff regime. #ThePeoplesMovement
Sowetan leaks alleged National Security Council Report by Emma Louise Powell MP - DA Spokesperson on International Relations & Cooperation Date: 17 July 2025 I note with grave concern the Sowetan Newspaper story: “Report Links DA MP to Anti-SA Narrative”. On the 16th of July…
IN THE SOWETAN TOMORROW: ● Powell accused of being a key proponent of misinformation regarding SA’s expropriation act during US trip ● Insiders say her activities conflicted with the officially sanctioned engagement of the SA government
"President Ramaphosa has not had a need for Mr Jonas to visit the United States on urgent business." Mcebisi Jonas is quite literally the President’s Special Envoy to the United States, and we have two weeks to strike a deal. No mention of visa refusal either. 1 August looms!
The Presidency condemns the Democratic Alliance's harassment of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Special Envoy to North America, Mr Jonas Mcebisi tinyurl.com/29wvrfz6
🚨 The United States denied a diplomatic visa & rejected the credentials of President’s “Special Envoy,” Mcebisi Jonas. Despite knowing this, the president failed to appoint a replacement, leaving SA without representation during key trade talks. We demand answers. Read:…
Mcebisi Jonas is Chairperson of MTN, embroiled in legal action in US courts under the Anti-Terrorism Act. The DA will now use our laws to compel the Presidency to disclose the full details of Mr Jonas' government-sponsored activities over the last 90 days da.org.za/2025/07/90-day…
The DA calls on the President to fire Ministers Simelane, Nkabane, and Ministers or Deputy Ministers implicated in corruption within the next 48 hours. If they fail to do so, the ANC will inflict grave consequences on South Africa.
Astonishing that DIRCO recalls selective resolutions of the IAEA General Conference to condemn Israeli actions, whilst completely ignoring the fact that just this week the IAEA formally declared Iran non‑compliant with its non-proliferation obligations: hiding undeclared nuclear…
Yes, Africa must look after itself, no argument there. But to summarily gut lifesaving aid programs across the continent without warning does nothing to engender self-reliance, it's cruelty disguised as austerity. Millions of the world’s most vulnerable will pay the price:…
I repeat as well. Africa should look after itself. Get your own house in order first
President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed a new proclamation authorising the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) to investigate allegations of maladministration in the affairs of the Department of Defence and recover any losses the State suffered.
There may be some that may not like me saying this, but I stand for the truth. There is no white genocide in South Africa but farm attacks and murders are real, unique, and demand specialised action. Let’s set the record straight: there is no white genocide in South Africa. That…
The DA's Emma Powell is happy that there was emphasis on South Africa's Constitution and its protection of all South Africans. #SouthAfricaTonight #DStv403 #QuestionThinkAct

🚨 The VAT increase has been officially stopped by court order, agreed upon between the Minister of Finance and the DA. A major win for all South Africans! We will keep fighting for an economy that grows, creates jobs, and works for YOU.
