I need to go to 3 - 4 filling stations to find diesel. As with everything else the @MYANC says, this is a lie.
The problem was never Trump's war on Iran. It was only ever the result of Tina Joemat-Petterson selling our strategic oil reserves (10 million barrels) for pennies on the dollar in December, 2015.
Once again, the ANC sold out South Africa for a proverbial bowl of stew.

@Defence_Index Yeah Iran prepared for this for 30 years by leaving their key ballistic missile production sites out in the open despite having massive underground missle cities 🤡

BREAKING: Weeks of relentless U.S.–Israeli strikes have damaged 4 key ballistic missile production sites and at least 29 launch sites, according to The Washington Post analysis.
Satellite imagery shows direct hits on facilities, tunnel entrances, and launch infrastructure, striking at the core of Iran’s missile strategy.
Thousands of strikes have targeted critical military assets since the war began, raising serious questions about Tehran’s ability to sustain large scale missile operations.

What a disgusting accusation from two sad little pricks ... fuck off.

@Jonathan_Witt Dude, have you forgotten Ramaphoria in 2016-2017? Peter Bruce was the biggest supporter of that. Rumors suggest he was paid, but those are just rumors.

🇺🇸 🇿🇦 A $400 million lawsuit is being prepared in the United States (US) against South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, and if it proceeds, the fallout could be explosive. At the centre of it are accusations that the South African government knowingly collaborated with Hamas ahead of the October 7 attacks on Israel – attacks in which at least 47 American citizens were killed or taken hostage.
The mainstream media in South Africa have not uttered a word about it.
The case, built on recommendations by UK-based consultant Justin Lewis, claims to have uncovered new material evidence of coordination between South African officials, Hamas, and Iran in the months leading up to the massacre. It’s a staggering allegation: that South Africa’s diplomatic support for Hamas wasn’t just rhetorical solidarity, but active complicity.
Lewis says he warned the South African government back in April of the potential legal risks. “I was not only ignored,” he says, “but threatened with legal action by a journalist acting on behalf of the South African state.”
Lewis now claims that some of South Africa’s court filings to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) were prepared in advance and in concert with foreign actors hostile to Israel and the West. “If that’s true,” he says, “then the ICJ process was politically manipulated – and that could constitute an act of terrorism under UK and US law.”
The legal foundation for the case rests on a unanimous US Supreme Court ruling last month that upheld the Promoting Security and Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act (2019), which allows Americans to sue foreign governments or individuals shown to have materially supported terrorist organisations – even overriding sovereign immunity.
Plaintiffs intend to argue that South African officials – possibly including Ramaphosa himself – either had prior knowledge of or directly facilitated Hamas operations. “Unless the president can prove he had no knowledge,” Lewis says, “he may be personally liable for damages.”
Beyond the courtroom, the economic risks are staggering. In letters dated June 30 and July 2, Lewis warned that sanctions on South African government debt could result in interest rate hikes costing taxpayers about $55 million per day. He highlights $3.5 billion in international bonds issued by South Africa in November 2023, which he claims failed to disclose “the substantial legal and reputational risks linked to collaboration with a designated terrorist entity.”
Formal notifications have been sent to the US Treasury, the House Financial Services Committee, and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Major financial institutions – including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Vunani Capital – have also been briefed.
In a letter to US Assistant Trade Representative Constance Hamilton, Lewis urged the White House to suspend all economic negotiations with South Africa – including those linked to the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) – until the allegations are investigated. “Continuing bilateral economic dialogue under these conditions would be reckless,” he wrote.

@DirkUys1090805 @RiseAgainstEvil @GovernmentZA Afrikaaners are flying all the way to the USA to claim victimhood and genocide when there is clearly no genocide.
Not all, but the most vocal of Afrikaaners have nothing to say apart from claiming victimhood.
It’s embarrassing.
English

@Lion444224 @RiseAgainstEvil @GovernmentZA Lion, Afrikaner speaking. There is no victim mentality here. You are not a lion. Your comments are clearly low in the pecking order.

Good morning, miserable South Africans!
South Africa is ranked as one of the unhappiest countries in the world.
Where is @GovernmentZA with their bogus stats that say "South Africa is the happiest country in the world?"

@euxenitejax @RRespawned @GamingGrifter You have no idea what you are talking about.
Less than 3% of manufacturing in this country is tender work.
97% is manufacturing for the private market. 50% of that is exported.
I dont think you know what a tender is, you just saying it because you like to complain 😂😂
English

@Lion444224 @RRespawned @GamingGrifter The ANC doesn’t do “ private manufacturing” they do tenders and tenders mean looting . You don’t need a PhD to see it . Just eyes and a memory longer than one election cycle . Yes , I know exactly what I’m talking about .
English

We barely have electricity, no new power stations have been built, nor are any in the pipeline but this clown wants to manufacture EV's.
In Africa they dream impossible dreams but plan for nothing.

English

@euxenitejax @RRespawned @GamingGrifter Show me one car manufacturer that operates via tender 🤔
I don’t think you understand what a tender is.
A tender is an offer to bid on goods / services for the government to purchase.
How could a car manufacturer tender to produce its own cars to sell to its own customers?
English

@Mommabear_013 @RiseAgainstEvil The funniest part is that people who actually believe 42 Quadrillion Rand was stolen actually think they could do a better job than the government lmao 🤣
The government does not do the best of jobs but they aren’t THAT dumb.
A child could tell you that number is false.
English

@Lion444224 @RiseAgainstEvil You are the classic big mouth aren't you.. Every person with a brain knows SA ruling parties have stolen, broken, dismantled eveything that was of value in SA.
The exact amount can't be quantified but seeing them under the microscope is priceless.
They're going down 🍿🍿
English

@Mommabear_013 @RiseAgainstEvil You can say what you like with your big mouth but the numbers are numbers and numbers don’t lie.
Just because you can’t understand them, that doesn’t mean they’re not true.
Drink your beer, eat some bacon and don’t talk nonsense about stuff you don’t understand.
English

@Mommabear_013 @RiseAgainstEvil Classic big mouth claims “Everything of value has been destroyed” when cumulative GDP GROWTH since the end of apartheid has been 66%.
Notice I said GROWTH.
Leave these discussions to the intelligent adults. People like you add 0 value to the conversation / situation.
English

@Mommabear_013 @RiseAgainstEvil The amount can definitely be quantified and it is definitely not ANYWHERE close to “41 Quadrillion Rand” as that is 22x the entire world’s economy.
I’m not ANC fan but I’m not a mindless fool to spread / believe blatantly idiotic propaganda like yourself.
English

@Guerrillaz2 @GamingGrifter BAIC has just expanded their R11 BILLION rand plant in SA and converted it from a SKD plant to a full manufacturing plant. They have also added Foton cars to the production line.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
English

@GamingGrifter China does not invest in manufacture in other countries. How dumb can Mashatile be?
However USA would. Bantu Marxism will destroy this country.
English

@euxenitejax @RRespawned @GamingGrifter Tender for private manufacturing of cars??
Do you have any idea what you are talking about??
English

@RRespawned @GamingGrifter The real plan is obvious , force another BEE deal where Cyril and his 🤡 ‘s own the mandatory 30% stake , pocket the tender and deliver exactly nothing . While china laughs all the way to the bank .
English

@Guerrillaz2 @GamingGrifter Yes they do. Thailand, Hungary, Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia and Pakistan thus far.
Cherry is literally buying the South African Nissan plant and taking over all the staff in 2026.. do you think they are doing that for fun??
Where do yall come up with this nonsense ???
English

@GamingGrifter Where are you living?
SA has had 0 load shedding in over a year.. 2 new coal power stations completed in the last 5 years (6th+7th largest in the world) and R250 BILLION in renewable energy projects approved and awarded.
You’re speaking utter nonsense.
Grifter is correct.
English

@Jerusalem_Post Yes PLEASE do not come here 🙏 PLEASE. Much like the rest of the civilized world, I cannot express how much we do not want Israelis here. They are like a parasitic infestation on the CPT Atlantic Seaboard and in Sandton.

@sonorousNL @ProgDirectorate Russians have bought 1000’s of them so I don’t think they’re that concerned.
Same with China..
English

@ProgDirectorate There have been concerns from Russian engineers going back years about the low quality of Iranian drones in everything from the building process to the design to even the quality of glue. I guess that it extends to their missile designs

@sonorousNL @ProgDirectorate Yet those same cheap lawnmower-engine drones have cost the US and Israel billions to defend against and the damage inflicted by them has set the US back 10 years of military development in the region.
Seems like they’re quite adequate for the job 🤔
