Is it too much to ask for, that people be allowed to tweet mundane thoughts without being subjected to a lecture on ethics & morality?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!Even at this grave geopolitical moment when editorial FRAMING on Iran, Gaza, etc. have been shown to have consequences, you continue to be complicit in drumming up empathy for wrong doers? He was not demached over "Kill the Boer comments." It was over his ENTIRE speech. The main reason was his attack on the judiciary. The "I don't care about your courts."
There is an editorial consequence to your framing. It sets the stage for international headlines that say "US Ambassador demarchèd for denouncing Kill The Boer." Who sounds reasonable in that framing? Who sounds like a state that is repressing opinion? Kill The Boer is not state policy. The story is the attack on the apex court and South Africa's sacrosanct constitutionalism.

.@PressSec: "The United States is not participating in official talks at the G20 in South Africa. I saw the South African President running his mouth a little bit against the United States and @POTUS... and that language is not appreciated by @POTUS and his team."

Themba Mathibe is the CEO of JDA, the key implementing agent for the City’s departments.

Dear South Africans: Heads of State and their delegations, multinationals, global development, and multilateral agencies are used to DRAMATIC protests outside Summits. From UNGA, COP, World Bank/IMF to G7, they know that people protest with billboards, placards, blockades.
At the G8 Summit in 2005, protestors threw red paint outside George W Bush's plenary to protest US war in Iraq. A massive protest against Tony Blair took place in Edinburgh. At Climate conferences, thousands of protestors turn up, inside and outside plenaries.
At EU Summits, world leaders are lampooned right outside the venue by angry protestors. Outside the White House, a huge statue if Trump and Epstein was displayed. At Times Square, massive billboards of protest are displayed.
None of the delegates descending on Johannesburg are going to crap their pants because of billboards.
Their foreign missions have briefed them extensively about the true state of affairs in RSA. They know the good and the bad. They will go to restaurants and the Kruger Park and see that the billboards on race laws are crap.
International Businesses have operations in some of the most unstable and volatile countries. Enough energy on Afriforum and Solidarity's billboards. On second thought, they are actually flaccid. Move on, focus.
The Inequality Report Commissioned by RSA is important. It succinctly highlights the nexus of inequality and threats to democracy. It tells us that 1% of the world's wealthiest increased their wealth by 41% in 5 years; that countries experiencing inequality have a 7x chance of seeing a reversal of Democratic norms. Now, will world leaders adopt inequality as a global emergency? That's what matters here..not some orange billboards.

Edwin Sodi could soon be blacklisted from government contracts for failing to fix the Rooiwal wastewater treatment plant, which was suspected of having a hand in the deadly 2023 cholera outbreak.
Sodi has always claimed he was conned by his deceased business partner, Rudolf Schoeman Jnr. But was there some truth to the allegation?
Tomorrow we launch amaBhungane’s first podcast: DEADLY WATER.
