The Mayor of London sat down with Channel 4 News Home Affairs Correspondent Symeon Brown to discuss whether the UK would enforce the ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sadiq Khan said that “those accused of genocide must face justice” and that he would lobby the Prime Minister to ensure “the law is enforced” if Netanyahu were ever to visit London. He added: “People who commit genocide are not welcome in London.”

@Nommersewe @MulderCorn Strength is not determined by having to debate with racists who hanker for apartheid’s past. Staring them down is what is required. So frankly, go have your intellectual brawls and conspiracy analysis in your racialised clubs. I don’t tolerate it on my account.

@AdHabb @MulderCorn While you were at Wits you were simply a too big a Coward to debate with the student leader that saw good in Hitler. racelaws.co.za South Africa is more racist than ever thanks to the ANC and in-spite of Nelson Mandela. I assumme you are to big a coward to debate.

These individuals take their place among a cohort that are historically recognised worldwide for what they truly are ; Judas Iscariot, Benedict Arnold, Vidkun Quisling, Mir Jafar, Marcus Junius Brutus. You will be forever remembered by your fellow citizens for what you truly are.
U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa@USAmbRSA

Great to see Afrikaner leaders from the Solidarity Movement, AfriForum, Solidarity, SAAI, NEASA, and Freedom Front Plus. We discussed how the U.S. government’s focus on the community can contribute to a safer and more prosperous South Africa.

@CommonSense_ZA @Bruceps RIP RW Johnson. We may not have always agreed, but your voice was an important one in SA’s public discourse.

The Common Sense
The Common Sense@CommonSense_ZA·
RW Johnson, one of South Africa's most formidable political writers and intellectual contrarians, has died. Known to friends as Bill, Johnson spent more than six decades challenging first the injustices of apartheid, then the misgovernance of the ANC. He opposed apartheid as a young man, studied and taught at Oxford for over two decades, then returned to South Africa in 1995 to direct the Helen Suzman Foundation. His most famous work, 'How Long Will South Africa Survive?' was first published in 1977 and revisited in 2015. He wrote for the London Review of Books and the Sunday Times, and became a columnist for The Common Sense in December last year. Editor Frans Cronje said: "Between him, Lawrie Schlemmer, and John Kane-Berman we had arguably the three greatest liberal thinkers South Africa produced in the second half of the 20th century." South Africa has lost one of its last great public intellectuals. f.mtr.cool/nudhawvews

Only seeing some of the pictures now...it was really a full house at the Nelson Mandela Global Leadership Forum in NYC. I didn't realize how packed the hall was..thanks for coming folks. In this picture I'm with the CEO of @NelsonMandela , I can't remember who the other guy next to me is. Next to him is Deputy Minister of IR, Alvin Botes and a gentleman I absolutely adore, Richard Stengel, former editor of The Times and diplomat in the Obama administration. This is the guy who spent HOURS with Mandela, capturing and editing his words for Long Walk To Freedom. It was so special!

Nelson Mandela Foundation
Nelson Mandela Foundation@NelsonMandela·
Mandela disrupted an international order that had become comfortable with injustice. And perhaps that is the Mandela we most need today. We often celebrate reconciliation as though it were Mandela’s defining gift. It was not. Justice was. Reconciliation was never his starting point, it was his destination. His starting point was justice.” — Redi Tlhabi Watch the keynote address delivered by Redi Tlhabi (@RediTlhabi) at the United Nations’ 2026 Nelson Mandela International Day commemoration. 🎥 Watch here: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1m/k… #MandelaDay #ItIsInYourHands #MandelaDay2026

@JohnGaltSAfrica @FT I am very well aware of what the Iranian govt is capable of. But this has nothing to do with that. This is an analysis of how the Iranian leadership weigh their options. You may not agree with them, but it is important to know how others think! Read, think & then comment!🙏🏾

@AdHabb @FT 😂 Some of us choose not to spend our hard earned money subscribing to known leftist leaning publications. Perhaps you'd care to practice your vocation in life and educate me and others with your profound wisdom.

@AdHabb @Lesufi @GaytonMcK @ConCaracal @kalliekriel @SolidariDirk Habib made use of a Afrikaner owned security company to save himself and his fellow liberal lectors from a black murderous mob. Yes, he did not shy away from Boere to help him. He did not phone the local mosque or the black anc cadres to come and help him during fees must fall.

@Matome_Maverick @Lesufi @GaytonMcK There is a difference between Apartheid SA & democratic SA. We are governed by a constitution. This action would be against the constitution. A premier should know this, but we carry on choosing leaders who not only don’t abide by the constitution, but don’t even understand it.

@AdHabb @Lesufi @GaytonMcK The international sporting community blacklisted young South Africans during Apartheid because of the decisions of their parents and leaders in their cultural community. This type of racist nonsense can never be tolerated in modern-day South Africa. A strong message must be sent!

American Jews hold a more favorable view of Zohran Mamdani than Americans as a whole and a less favorable view of Benjamin Netanyahu apnews.com/article/israel… Imagine if media coverage reflected that reality
