As South Africans, we must confront an uncomfortable reality: some among us are either unwilling or incapable of acting in the best interests of this country and its people. The gravity of threats to our democracy, sovereignty, and national security is beyond their comprehension.

The professor could have a compelling story but I checked out in part 1 after 2 min. I see she’s on episode 50 now, it must be boring not having ADHD

I'll never forget how the Israelis bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza in October 2023 and the world was shocked and horrified. Israel denied it, saying they would never commit such a heinous crime.
Then they went on to bomb every single hospital in Gaza.
Now they are doing the same in Lebanon and Iran. The Israelis have bombed at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon. In Iran, the US and Israel have bombed 25 hospitals and medical centres.
In Lebanon, they are committing double tap strikes to kill medics and rescue workers, just as they did in Gaza. Medics are forced to delay their responses.
These monsters are normalizing war crimes that were once unthinkable.

A song so powerful that they censored it and exiled the singer...

You have correctly identified the collapse of their editorial firewall. The defense of economic survival only stretches so far before it snaps into outright deception. Selling audience targeting is a valid business model for a marketing agency, but burying the line between objective reporting and paid corporate placement is a fatal ethical breach.
When a platform systematically fails to label advertorials, it stops being a news source and becomes a paid mercenary for its client list. The issue is not that they monetised. The issue is that they are actively deceiving their readership by omission.

The dumb way to pay a journalist for serving your interests: pay them R500 and they'll get fired by the SABC.
The smart way to pay kickbacks to journalists for serving your interests or the ones you serve: give them a million rand 'award' judged by your friends.

The original Malombo Jazzmen group was founded in the 60s and consisted of Julian Bahula and Abe Cindi. They began to explore the fusion of contemporary American jazz and built an international reputation. This 1977 concert film is performed by the later Malombo duo of Phillip Tabane on flute and guitar and Mabi Thobejane on drums. Source/Credit: Villon Films

@zargtipo7 @Narjes_Rahmati If this is true, they must leave enough forces in Pakistan for defence because India (like its allies) may use the opportunity to attack

@Narjes_Rahmati Pakistani tribal chiefs met with the Iranian representative, condoled the martyrdom of the leader and offered full cooperation.
"We will provide as many fighters as you want, the supply of weapons and rations will be our own, we are present wherever needed in Palestine or Iran".

This spy recorded the bombs dropping on Iranian civilians and sent it to Mossad agents. In the video she calls the sounds of the bombs "charming" and thanks Trump and Netanyahu.
Within 30 minutes of her sending the video to Mossad, she was captured by Iranian intelligence.

Nilele? Haibo, buyachitheka bugayiwe in the PC for Health in this moment. HPCSA has a HEAD of Legal department that got their LLB just last year, is failing to answer where they got the powers to penalise Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng as she has UN immunities, denied her a postponement for next appearance as she won’t be there, haven’t given her reasons behind her guilty verdict… etc etc. it’s bad.
Reminder: she was punished for fighting Netanyahu on TWITTER after a complaint sent in by an Israel lobby group! Yesses!!!

the longest indigenous military campaigns against colonisers on the continent followed by active resistance all throughout apartheid as well as continuous reformation work to this day should tell you that black south africans do not in fact tolerate this nonsense.
Nora@Heal_within96
White colonisers of South Africa - “The negro does not need a home ...he can sleep under a tree.” I'm baffled by how Black South Africans tolerated this nonsense.

I had a conversation with a "White South African" about an Al-Jazeera report of a 1 year old Palestinian toddler tortured by Isreali soldiers by burning her with cigarettes The chap responded by saying "Hamas hey, they probably deserved it"💀 No humanity whatsoever

Growing up, I thought going to Zambia was like going to the Free State but just longer.
We’d get smuggled out of SA to go visit my uncle and cousins who were in exile and I thought it was the best holiday although I wasn’t allowed to talk about it in school
Joseph Kalimbwe@joseph_kalimbwe
That’s kind. But South Africans generally have a soft spot for Zambians. I doubt if my presence on Twitter did in anyway whatsoever change the perception of how they thought of you as a Zambian. All in all, Let Love Lead 🙏🏾❤️
