@13F_Pro @FT What has UK policy absorbed? The UK hasnt done a useful thing in the world for decades

@FT Bessent lecturing Reeves on what's "safer" for the world while UK policy has to absorb the blowback is peak American exceptionalism. She's not wrong to push back.

FT Exclusive: The US Treasury secretary insisted the world was safer because of the US-Israeli war against Iran. Rachel Reeves, UK chancellor, responded angrily, telling Scott Bessent she did not work for him. ft.trib.al/Nn5Wc5z

@Shehu_Hikmah @FT You are either joking or retarded. Boy I hope its the former

@FT Perspective is different Iran never attacked anyone until after it was attacked

@News24 Using that logic Im "trapped" in South Africa. We also cant just leave to another country, but need passports/visas etc. They wanted independence in and Israel pulled out in '05. Now yes, they are "trapped" in their country. Maybe dont elect Hamas if you dont want to live in hell

New war between Hamas and Israel ‘almost inevitable’ as Palestinians live trapped in Gaza brnw.ch/21x2axd

@SA_Worldview @MulderCorn How often do you go to other metro's in the country? I go to Cpt for a few weeks each year, and its MILES ahead of everything. Every stat proves it. Audits, unemployment, service delivery. People being willing to pay crazy property prices to move there proves that it IS a success

@MulderCorn Ek mors nou nie my tyd om enige hoofnuus te kyk nie, maar as sy Kaapstad voorhou as sukses, dan is die DA heeltemal die pad byster. Ek bly in Kaapstad en die DA is besig om ales te vernietig. Miskien besef tannie Helen nie wat haar stout seun Georgy doen in Kaapstad nie.

#eNuusNuweDAPropogandaKanaal Op Sondagaand 3 Mei het eNuus besluit om as hoofnuus ‘n volle 10 minute DA propogandagesprek met Helen Zille aan te bied. Blykbaar is daar geen ander hoofnuus in die hele wêreld nie. Kaapstad is alles behalwe die suksesverhaal wat opgedis word. Gaan vra inwoners gerus self. @eNuus @maroelamedia @IOL @Netwerk24Berig

@HeidiGiokos @ZwaneSiguqa Some people fake being offended in order to be a victim, just to complain about something. Ignore it

I think your comments is extremely unfair. The provincial commissioner LIVE on ENCA said this. Hence I used ‘’ I didn’t say it. And I started off by saying he has been found. ENCA has been covering this and understands the severity of this matter. So please don’t try and diminish that by what the PC.

Why do some South African journalists and media outlets report as if they don’t trust or believe fellow South Africans? Especially Black South Africans! “Rocked up” minimises the seriousness of the situation. He did not go to groove! He was kidnapped! @HeidiGiokos

@iamSivN True. Although groups of people marching down the street, all carrying weapons, pointing out immigrants certainly gives the appearance of xenophobia. Just leave the spears and shit at home. Why give the media and EFF pan-african crowd ammunition?

Wanting correct paper work isn’t xenophobia !

@MrAndyNgo Illegal immigration does contribute to job scarcity, but unemployment has been increasing every year for the past 20-25 years due to dumb gvt policies resulting in an economy stagnant for decades. Most of those marching probably voted, and will keep voting ANC or 2008-ANC (MK)

Johannesburg — South Africans have been holding mass protests while armed with melee weapons to demand that illegal migrants leave. They’re angry the migrants are using hospitals, schools and are taking jobs.

@CommonSense_ZA People were saying the PA would drive DA <50% in the 2024 NGE too. In reality, DA dropped 1% in the WC

The Patriotic Alliance is gaining serious ground in the Western Cape, winning key by-elections and cutting into both DA and ANC support. If this trend continues, the DA could fall below 50% in the province, reshaping the political landscape.  Read the full analysis in The Common Sense. #TheCommonSense #SouthAfrica #Politics #WesternCape #DA #PA #Elections thecommonsense.co.za/Politics/pa-th…

@Mufasa0062 Going to the current SANDF will not help a bit with discipline. After seeing the embarrassing scenes at the Rand military show, its clear that there are zero standards in our military. Its would actually be cruel to send people with that lvl of incompetence into war

Youth unemployment is over 45%, gang violence and crime are out of control, and many young men lack discipline and direction. Could structured military/national service help fix this?

@sircalebhammer The pro's are that the government is so corrupt and inefficient, people here are more self-sufficient than most places in the world. The con's are that we still pay a ton of taxes, and get literally nothing for it, and have to pay for private everything on top of it all

South African GDP per capita is lower today than it was in 2011. 60% youth unemployment. 81% of 10-year-olds can't read. 47% of all drinking water disappears before it reaches anyone's tap. The decline is honestly insane. Here's today's documentary: youtu.be/6xp5v3t90bg

@ZaWJBek @CommonSense_ZA Your vision is clouded by the drug thats victimhood. Which of these is happening exclusively to whites in SA? Its disrespectful to compare what we go through in SA to victims of the Holocaust, Rwandan or Cambodian genocide. Even GenocideWatch puts us 2 stages below "Persecution"

@MarcusJHenning @CommonSense_ZA Exactly words matter and the legal definition of genocide according to the UN convention doesn’t strictly refer to the mass slaughter of people. Maybe you should educate yourself before going on a virtue signalling tour.

New IRR polling shows a clear majority of South Africans, including half of white respondents, reject claims of a “white genocide”. The data points instead to a shared reality: a broad-based crime crisis affecting all communities, not a targeted campaign.

@ZaWJBek @CommonSense_ZA Sorry, but words matter and genocide isnt something thats a matter of opinion or experience. Its either happening or it isnt. People have horrific experiences all over the world, that doesnt make it genocide. Whites can still go to work, shops, etc without getting hunted down

@MarcusJHenning @CommonSense_ZA Or actually have a complete different experience than yourself, dickhead.

@VanJones68 The point is well made, but as a South African I find the comment about the ANC and "No women No children..." etc funny. In the 80s, the ANC and their armed wing (MK) changed tactics and DID target and kill many civilians. The cause may have been justified, but they were evil

Hasan Piker says the designated terrorist organization Hamas is 1,000 times better than Israel. His statement outraged many — who now just want to write him off. That's a mistake. He has a massive audience and is emerging as one of the major voices of his generation. Those of us who disagree owe him — and his audience — a real argument. Here's mine … And my position doesn’t come from ignorance about oppression. For a big chunk of my life, I was a grassroots activist — because of the pain of my own people. During those years, I was lucky enough to learn from elders who had been in the Black Panther Party, in SNCC, in the ANC. These were people who had to choose whether to pick up the gun — and how to use it if they did. They taught me this: even in armed struggle, there are principles. No women. No children. No rapes. No kidnapping. Mandela held that line. Amílcar Cabral held that line. You don't become what you're fighting. Hamas fails that test. They are not fighting for MORE freedom for Palestinians. They're fighting for less. They want theocracy, not democracy. And their means? They don’t use principled armed struggle (hitting military targets). They use terrorism (targeting civilians). The vast majority of Americans — including those who sympathize with the Palestinian cause — reject terror tactics. Reasonable people would agree on three principles: secure homelands for both peoples; no hatred for Jews or Muslims; and protection for all civilians. Hamas’ approach undermines all three. That's the conversation Piker's audience deserves. Not name-calling.

@SStricklandMMA Im not even American and know this take is retarded. Im pretty sure the US is the largest oil and gas exporter. Sure, higher inflation, but the country will be COINING it by exporting at high prices. US GDP growth will likely be very high as a result

I could be wrong but as of now the Iran war has only hurt Americans. Middle Eastern countries get richer, Russia gets richer Americans get a gas tax and inflation. YOU get poorer THEY get richer Tell me how this is America first?

@TheLaurenChen I dont know what Zambians opinions are toward the US, but most countries the US funds, aren't even appreciative. The gvt here in South Africa HATES the US, but still expected handouts. The public only found out the US was funding our AIDS program after USAID was cut

Why is it Marco Rubio's job to save Zambia? Or any American's? Do Zambians or the rest of the world bear any responsibility?

@AxolileNotywala Well then pray for the rest of the country, because Cpt still consistently has the lowest unemployment rate of any metro, despite half the ECape moving to WC/Cpt for jobs

Spending billions on walls and surveillance technology to ‘fight’ crime instead of building homes, creating jobs and uplifting young people to divert them from drugs and crime. Cape Town, we are doomed under the Democratic Alliance! Please register to vote 🗳️

@Pietiepietste @UN_Spokesperson @antonioguterres Although I agree with most of what you say, unfortunately the comments are filled with people defending xenophobic violence and intimidation, so that point might not be correct 😬

No one defends xenophobic violence or intimidation, it’s criminal and wrong. But these incidents are symptoms of the real crisis 34%+ unemployment, world-leading inequality (kept in place by the ANC), and decades of corruption that looted billions from state companies and kept the (mostly Black) majority poor. BEE in South Africa was meant to uplift the poor Black South African majority not to create a new class of ANC-connected billionaires and their families. You note "socio-economic conditions" in your statement, yet the UN rarely matches this "deep concern" with the same urgency when it’s ANC-led looting, cadre deployment and policy failures driving the desperation. Why the selective spotlight on foreigners while South Africans suffer the root cause? True leadership would demand accountability at home first.

Secretary‑General @antonioguterres is deeply concerned by reports of xenophobic attacks & acts of harassment & intimidation against migrants & foreign nationals in parts of South Africa, including in KwaZulu‑Natal & Eastern Cape Province. Full statement: un.org/sg/en/content/…

@Ngamola_Recce @UN_Spokesperson @antonioguterres Well Antonio Guterres hates Trump and the USA, so at least he's consistent I suppose 🤷

@UN_Spokesperson @antonioguterres You must be more concerned about the killings happening in middle east and Nigeria. We are simply sending undocumented immigrants back home Just like Trump is doing in USA

@NoSpinZA @southafricandly @Phislash 😄 Please do, and remind me if Im wrong. Im so sick of corruption, if the DA refuses to take action, they'll lose my vote. Fighting corruption and service delivery is literally the only the reason I vote for them in the first place

@MarcusJHenning @southafricandly @Phislash Saving this Marcus. I hope you are right.

The Department of Basic Education awarded 26% of a R1.6bn textbook tender to Lighthouse Publishers (Pty) Ltd, a little-known firm with no track record, registered shortly after the tender was announced.
