With my babe @ZakesMda last week at the opening of HOMECOMING at @StandardBankArt gallery. Libras Unite! ⚖️📚

@ZakesMda Of course he did not — and that was not the point I was making. I was merely highlighting the provenance of the R1 trillion BEE claim within the public discourse.

@RediTlhabi Was this narrative not first punted by Wits professor William Gumede?

Started my international engagements today with meetings on Capitol Hill, in Washington DC. #FreeUgandaNow

I'm saddened by the death of my longtime mate #FinkHaysom. He was a decent and clever man, totally devoted to human rights, but he was also a fun guy. A life well lived.

Today, I was honored to visit some of Soweto’s most historic sites. At @MandelaHouse08 I reflected on Nelson Mandela’s early activism and family life. I was deeply moved by Antoinette Sithole’s personal stories and by the legacy of her brother, @hectorpieterson Walking along Vilakazi Street with Sakhumzi Maqubela and @go2uj Prof. Letlhokwa Mpedi, I gained insights into Soweto’s rich history, its evolving economy, and the power of enduring relationships between Americans and South Africans. At Nike Shapa, I saw American excellence firsthand and how U.S. businesses are supporting future athletes and making a real impact in local communities. And at our American Corner in Soweto, I learned about the important role small business growth and STEM learning has on the economy.

@ZakesMda Just realised that my copy of The Zulus in New York has also grown legs 😢

Look how happy I make you @ZakesMda. Don’t you miss me?

@ZakesMda You reckon he would have received that well? 🤣💀💀
