Weirdly, Iranian embassy in Pretoria notified us, Ukrainian diplomats, about opening a book of condolences in memory of ayatollah Khamenei and the military leadership of Iran. I decided to respond - and do it in a public way. The letter explains why. Your Excellency, Mr. Ambassador,   Since you notified the Embassy of Ukraine of the book of condolences for deceased Ayatollah Khamenei and Iran’s military leadership, I feel compelled to remind you the following.   As military allies of the Russian Federation, the deceased leaders of Iran had on their hands the blood of thousands of Ukrainian citizens – men and women, children and elderly – killed with the help of the infamous Iran-made “Shahed” drones and other military know-how so eagerly provided to Russia by your government. Your leaders were complicit in bringing endless grief to Ukrainian civilians.   Being a person of faith, I try not to rejoice in the death of other people, even those who chose to be tormentors of my country that did nothing bad to theirs. But as someone who has spent three years to the tune of Iran-created machines of death howling every night in the sky over Kyiv and other peaceful Ukrainian cities, I cannot help but wish for every culprit to meet the justice they deserve. If not by human law, then in the face of God Almighty.   Ambassador, I do not know you personally and have no grudge against you. Sometimes good diplomats must speak for bad leaders and their policies. But I hope you understand that I won’t express condolences for someone whose death I do not mourn.   Sincerely, Dr. Olexander Scherba Ambassador

Please Lord, if there is one silver lining... let it be the F-22's day. Give us this, just this one thing.

Keep this guy in ur thoughts today

@bencroyderived they died and the world is better for it

@k9_reaper I don't know why he is worried. It is public information.

Pro tip - don't "wipe over" text with any of the pen/paintbrush/highlighter options on your phone. By changing a few settings, the text can easily be revealed. Rather blur, and then screengrab - post the screengrab.

My company Birch Organisation repaired & put 2 SAPS vehicles back on the road FOR FREE. I’ve offered Gen Voskuil (SAPS) to fix 200 broken SAPS vehicles FREE - 964 broken SAPS vehicles in WC - huge shortage of vehicles with each police station having between 6-12 vehicles out of action. You only care about public safety if you love all South Africans No vehicles No Police- Stephen D Birch facebook.com/stephen.d.birc…

After John Steenhuisen’s announcement yesterday, I have been approached by many party members to stand for the position of Federal Leader. The DA’s internal campaign rules stipulate that public campaigning may only begin when the nomination period opens. That will happen later this month, which is when I will announce my intentions. Whatever is decided, I will remain committed to stand for a second term as the Mayor of Cape Town. It is the DA’s biggest government and our strongest platform as we head into the local elections. If I do stand for election as DA Leader, I would welcome a robust and principled process focused on competing ideas for the future of our party and our country. We have many excellent leaders, and an open exchange of ideas can only strengthen us. Thank you to all those who have reached out to me. It is an honour to be considered, and whatever the outcome, our focus must remain on serving every South African and building a country of hope. 🇿🇦

Apparently, one of Jeffrey Epstein's contacts emailed him about visiting South Africa and immediately getting the quintessential Johannesburg experience 😂

Allow me to correct: "The South African Air Force will be hosting its annual Prestige Parade to commemorate _106_ years of existence and the service it has rendered to the country." Congratulations! It may be a shadow of its former self, but it's still the Pride of the Nation.

Excellent, lucid analysis by Francis Fukuyama.

@premhid @JustIngs_ Good luck!

The memories of Sake are still flashing in my mind more than six months after returning from the war zone and I am concerned that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) could become chronic and last for years or even a lifetime, if left untreated. defenceweb.co.za/sa-defence-sa-…
