The Presidentc Cyril Ramaphosa, is in deep deep trouble. The Constitutional Court has ruled that Parliament must hold an Impeachment Inquiry into his behaviour in the Phala Phala cash in the couch scandal. Can the President survive this crisis? Interesting times ahead …

Jews & Muslims in South Africa live in their own versions of Orania. They are just not loud about it. The real estate agents keep out potential residents & business owners that aren't aligned to the culture of the area.

We note and smell the Israeli influence on how African leaders are responding to the issue of immigration in South Africa. Like we smell Israeli lobby and influence on the issue here domestically.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Not long ago, the idea that Israel should occupy southern Lebanon, expel its population, and build settlements there sounded extreme enough to ignore. It lived on the edges, where political fantasies usually go to die. In a matter of weeks, the vision pushed by the Israeli far-right movement, Uri Tzafon, has gone from fringe to something far more dangerous: acceptable. And the playbook is painfully familiar. Start with security. Point to Hezbollah, a real threat, and stretch that reality just far enough to justify something bigger. Suddenly, moving the border to the Litani River isn’t expansion, it’s “defense.” Then comes the part people pretend is temporary. Evacuations. “Buffer zones.” Destroyed villages that, conveniently, no one is meant to return to. This is where policy stops being theoretical and starts reshaping reality on the ground. And then, almost inevitably, comes the endgame: civilians, settlements, permanence. What used to be a political third rail is now being handled pretty casually. Members of the Knesset are openly calling for full control of southern Lebanon. Figures like Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and former Deputy PM Avigdor Lieberman are signaling support. What sounded outrageous a year ago now sounds “tough.” What sounded illegal now sounds “complicated.” Give it a little more time and it’ll sound inevitable. We’ve seen this before: the West Bank didn’t become what it is overnight. It was built step by step, each one justified, each one framed as temporary, each one somehow sticking around. Temporary has a way of becoming permanent when it’s backed by bulldozers. What’s different now is the speed. Polls suggesting majority support for pushing up to the Litani River show just how quickly the center of gravity has shifted. The argument isn’t really about whether this should happen anymore; it’s about how to sell it. Meanwhile, the consequences aren’t abstract. People are already being displaced. Towns are already being destroyed. Once that happens, “reversing course” becomes a polite fiction. And then there’s the part no one really wants to say out loud. When Putin carved up parts of Ukraine, the response from Western governments was immediate and loud: sanctions, speeches, moral clarity on repeat. When Israel starts talking about doing something similar in Lebanon, the reaction is… silence. Source: Jewish Currents

🇱🇧🇮🇱 Israel bombed 21+ Lebanese villages in a single day while a ceasefire was active. Bint Jbeil. Tibnin. Kafra. Deir Qanoun. Towns across the entire south hit back to back. Is this what they call a ceasefire?

BREAKING NEWS: 🚨🚨As South Africa erupts in more anti-immigrant xenophobic marches and violence and people flee for their lives, the government remains passive. Every South African should be horrified by these scenes. #southAfrca #xenophobia #immigrants #news

What an amazing clip. This is the essence of Tuckerism. NYT asks him why he called Trump the Antichrist. He says he never said it. NYT shows a clip. Tucker says he doesn’t know what the Antichrist is. Jesus Christ. What a snivelling coward.

The stabbing of two Jewish men is horrifying. So too is the attack on a Muslim man the same day, ignored by much of our media. All human lives are equal — and we should oppose all hatred and violence wherever it appears. That’s how we build a safe & peaceful society for all.

I speak for every progressive Johannesburg resident when I say the City of Johannesburg must be led by a coalition of these three parties. Others must come to support by voting the government on issue by issue basis. #LGE2026

Redi Tlhabi@RediTlhabi·
Mmmm.... So I have read and reread this piece. A few things stand out. The premise is flawed from the start. No one needs to be “welcomed” into their own home. South African Jews are not visitors to this country. They are part of its rich fabric; historically rooted, civically engaged, and widely respected for their contributions in many layers of our society. Such contributions and heritage are not favours that can be deployed or withdrawn everytime some feel aggrieved. Contributions to our homes are just natural actions and must never be issued as blackmail and threats when other family members don't behave the way we want. There is a serious misreading of both South Africa and its people. It tells me that the author sees himself outside of the country and its people. A division whose origins he must interrogate and answer HONESTLY, for himself - is it the noisy political and ideological differences over Palestine that make him feel unwelcome or his inability to bend South Africans towards HIS position? But perhaps the more interesting question is this: Who is this claim really about? Because to speak of “feeling unwelcome” in one’s own country is BOTH a political and an existential statement. It raises a deeper discomfort. Does the author, perhaps, harbour doubts about his own belonging? Does he, consciously or not, see himself as standing slightly apart from the soil beneath his feet? Does he question whether his roots here are as solid as they ought to be? And who first planted the idea in his head, that he belongs elsewhere? news24.com/southafrica/ne…

@ubuntupunk @commonsence The SAJR is probably the best rated newspaper in South Africa but in their unleashed pitiful tactics to please their financial masters the Common Sense gets it completely wrong the WSJ carried an opinion Op-ed piece not an article the SAJR carried the facts - big difference

@Howardsackstein @commonsence Lets face it, SAJR is not exactly a hot bed of cutting edge journalism, they do a good job given the circumstances, but expecting it to be on par with WSJ is a bit much?

The SA Jewish Report is not beyond criticism neither is the Pope & certainly not the Chief Rabbi but when the attack dogs are unleashed it’s important to know where the conflicts of interest lie it’s crucial for @CommonSence to disclose its conflicted relationship on this matter
The Common Sense@CommonSense_ZA

A clash between a Chief Rabbi and the Pope has exposed a deeper truth about politics. Respect is not earned through accommodation, but through clearly defined lines and the willingness to defend them. In a world of power, weakness invites pressure, while strength commands respect.  #TheCommonSense #Politics #SouthAfrica #Leadership #Power #Geopolitics f.mtr.cool/ggvmdrxxsx

Common @CommonSense_ZA you were sent as an attack dog by your masters - I'm still waiting for you to disclose your paymasters and your conflicts of interest here - you cannot pretend to be a credible source unless you are honest with the very few readers you have
The Common Sense@CommonSense_ZA

Two responses to the same speech reveal a deeper truth about politics: strength commands respect, while weakness invites pressure. The contrast between a firm rebuttal and a defensive reaction shows how quickly perception shapes power and influence.

South Africa’s draft Ai policy was written by Ai - you actually can’t make this up - but maybe it’s not a bad thing? Surely Artificial Intelligence can draft a better policy than the humans we have in government? #Ai #SouthAfrica #grok #claude #ChatGpt
