🇺🇸 🇻🇪 | Where was the Venezuelan military when Maduro was kidnapped? How does a Head of State get captured without the country's intelligence and military not being aware? Did they sellout?

In 2020, Paul O’Sullivan said Dr Bandile Masuku paid him through his lawyer to investigate PPE corruption involving Dr Bandile Masuku and his wife, Loyiso Masuku. Paul O’Sullivan said he found no evidence of corruption by Dr Bandile Masuku and Loyiso Masuku.

Guptas came to SA in 1993. By 2002, they had Govt Tenders worth R25m to supply 2500 Schools from Mbeki's Govt. By 2016, under Zuma only 9% of their R2.62bn Revenue came from Govt. There's a claim their TNA "captured" SABC when they got R20m while Rupert's Urban Brew got R543m.

@LungaMrhetjha They didn't capture the state but they had unusual influence on the president at the time.

You just know it’s not a coincidence that we ended up with a DA minister in that specific portfolio. This is what a clean, professional state capture project looks like.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio cites corruption as one of the reasons for excluding South Africa from all G20 activities for the next year. Rubio cites Nelson Mandela as a paragon of virtue whose legacy the post-Apartheid government has tarnished. What Rubio doesn’t say is that Mandela spoke about people like him in 1997. In his final report as ANC president, Mandela warned of “counter-revolutionary forces” who would try to delegitimise South Africa’s democracy by spreading narratives of “impending economic collapse, escalating corruption, rampant crime, massive loss of skills, and demoralisation among both Black and White citizens.” Their aim, Mandela opined, was not to diagnose problems but to portray Black majority rule as inherently incompetent and unstable, so that external actors like the current Trump administration could, in time, treat South Africa as a failed or failing state. That narrative, crafted in the early 1990s, was documented in intelligence-linked reports like CIEX, and recognised by Mandela in real time, and has spent three decades embedding itself in the public consciousness. Today, many South Africans repeat it without knowing its origins. And so when the US invokes “corruption” to justify South Africa’s exclusion from the G20, it is drawing directly from a narrative built during the transition to portray Black governance as inherently corrupt. Rubio pretends he is defending Mandela’s legacy. But Mandela foresaw this exact moment when external powers would use selective outrage, racialised narratives of incompetence, and exaggerated claims of collapse to pressure a sovereign democratic state. And he warned South Africans not to be fooled. But so many South Africans have internalised the script so deeply that they cannot recognise it at all. Black South Africans have become the most effective carriers of their own delegitimisation. When external pressure arrives, there’s no immune response because they have been immunised with the very virus now being deployed against them.
