Neliswa did not leave this house as a woman who stood against GBV. She left as a woman who committed GBV to fight GBV. She was drunk and entered a situation she didn't even understand. Bye and that was a fair vindication from Big brother. #BBMzansiS6
This is very interesting cause behind every GBV, there is an excuse that makes sense to the perpetrator. The question is, why is Que, a victim of physical abuse seen as a villain? Are we saying there are instances where GBV is justifiable? #BBMzansiS6
@Pertu_O_Grace Well this is nonsense, cause I will be using the form to capture his details onto the system. Now imagine having to flip pages when everything should have been summarized for you.
@DIRCO_ZA Hey champs, loving the tough-guy vibes kicking out the Israeli diplomat over some salty tweets. Real sovereign flex! But if you're gonna play the full boycott game, time to walk the talk on that Israeli tech you're probably neck-deep in.
- Ditch those Intel chips in your office PCs and servers—Israel's got fabs and R&D all over 'em. Go full stone age with abacuses for your diplomatic cables.
- No more Check Point firewalls for your cyber defenses. Let the hackers in; who needs secure emails when you're standing on principle?
- Ban Waze from your diplomats' phones. Get lost in traffic like it's 1994—bonus points if you blame Google Maps (spoiler: Israeli roots there too).
- And hey, if any of your water tech or agri projects in the Eastern Cape (y'know, the ones the Israelis offered help on before you booted 'em) have Netafim drip systems? Rip 'em out and pray for rain.
Otherwise, this just looks like performative theater while you're quietly benefiting from the 'enemy's' innovations. Consistency is key, folks—lead by example or admit it's all for the optics. 🇿🇦🔥 #DIRCOHypocrisy
MEDIA STATEMENT
30 January 2026
The Department of International Relations and Cooperation has informed the Government of the State of Israel of its decision to declare Mr. Ariel Seidman, the Chargé d’Affaires of the Israeli Embassy, persona non grata.
So my prediction:
- Julius Malema will get 5 to 7 years' direct imprisonment on a sentence that should be 15 years, as it is prescribed in law as a mandatory minimum sentence.
- If he takes it on appeal, he risks getting the full 15 years. If his legal team actually cares about him, they will advise him to take the sentence.
- He will ignore them and take it on appeal, and the courts will find that the Judge was meticulous in her finding and implement the full 15-year mandatory minimum sentence.
Dear #Africa, are you aware that @CAF_Online has no date for when the #AFCON2027 in #Kenya, #Uganda & #Tanzania will be played? Do you also know that the #AFCON in 2028, which Patrice Motsepe announced, has no date nor host? And we are to take CAF as a serious body, with these shenanigans?
@Swannie1@ewnreporter@JusstAlpha DF Malan, each case is dealt with base on its merits. There was no firearm recovered, no ammunition and no credible witnesses.
A social worker in Julius Malema’s firearm discharge case has proposed the following sentence:
1. A (suspended) fine that reflects the gravity of the offence.
2. Restrict Malema from obtaining a firearm license.
3. A monetary donation as restitution to Gun Free SA. @JusstAlpha
@SamirBennis In the same manner, Morocco must be investigated. There is a pattern of players getting sick due to food poisoning in Morocco, this did not only happen in AFCON, it has happened before more than once. Morocco should be sanctioned for their actions against Nigeria and Senegal.
For the Sake of the Game, Senegal Must Be heavily Sanctioned
What Senegal’s football team did during the AFCON final was neither a coincidence nor a first. Senegalese players have a history of ignominious behavior when results don’t go their way. A clear pattern has emerged over the years, positioning Senegal as arguably the worst bad loser on the African continent—if not globally. This conduct is often triggered when the referee’s decisions go against them.
During the AFCON quarterfinal against Tunisia in 2004, Senegalese players—led by El Hadji Diouf—protested vehemently for several minutes following Tunisia’s opening goal, which ultimately led the host nation to advance to the semifinals.
A similar scenario unfolded in October 2012 during an AFCON qualifier in Dakar. Côte d’Ivoire was leading 1–0 when the referee awarded them a clear penalty. As expected, Senegalese players protested furiously. This protest incited an already volatile crowd, leading to shocking scenes of chaos and violence in the stands—fires were lit, stones and other objects were hurled onto the pitch. The match was suspended for 40 minutes and eventually abandoned.
In response, CAF disqualified Senegal from the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
This is the standard that @CAF and @fifaworldcup_ar should uphold once again. As a Moroccan, I am not calling for Senegal to be stripped of their AFCON title. But in the name of football, fair play, and the values this beautiful sport is meant to promote, CAF and FIFA must act decisively. I urge the following measures:
1. Suspend Senegal’s coach, Pape Thiaw, for life.
He bears direct responsibility for orchestrating the scandal that has shaken African football and shocked the world. His actions endangered not only the safety of fans in the stadium, but more gravely, the lives of nearly 5,000 Moroccans living in Senegal, who suddenly found themselves at serious risk.
2. Impose heavy sanctions on the Senegalese players
who protested the referee’s decision and left the pitch without his authorization, violating the spirit and regulations of the game.
3. Ban Senegal from participating in the FIFA World Cup and suspend them from two future editions of AFCON.
Failure to enforce strict consequences would set a dangerous precedent—not just in Africa, but globally. It would signal that walking off the pitch and defying match officials is an acceptable form of protest, ultimately undermining the authority of referees. This could erode the very foundations of football as we know it, imperfect though it may be.
