@USEmbassySA @BrentBozell South Africa has a problem with the US bombing an elementary school in Iran and killing about 160 children and their teachers. South Africa has a problem with the US supplying military aid to a country that is committing unspeakable atrocities in the Middle East, including a genocide. South Africa has a problem with the gun violence in America, which has claimed the lives of elementary school children. This violence is perpetrated by people who can buy a gun at a convenience store without checks and balances, because US law allows it. South Africa has a problem with the reversal of Roe V Wade, which has denied women their reproductive rights and criminalised even medically recommended termination. South Africa has a problem with voter suppression which denies mainly Black and poor voters their democratic rights. South Africa has a problem with a US president initiating a rebellion against an election outcome. This included the storming of the Capitol, wherein the SON of THIS Ambassador to South Africa, participated and was convicted as a felon in that crime. South Africa has a problem with Africa's debt crisis that has been created by US-led Western institutions. South Africa has a problem with the UN Security Council and its resistance to reform. Resistance led mainly, by the USA. There are MORE problems but I have to go do my nails.

Nothing will happen tonight because Trump knows it would cause a global recession and $200 oil. He isn't that stupid.

Rise Mzansi: Inside the R50 Million party that hoodwinked JHB North and tanked at the polls. Rise Mzansi showed up to the 2024 election with more money than almost any party in South Africa. Not the ANC. Not the DA. A two-year-old party with zero seats, zero track record, and a former newspaper editor as its leader. So where did the money come from? 🧵

Robert Mueller died last night. He was 81 years old. He had a wife who loved him for sixty years. He had two daughters, one of whom he met for the first time in Hawaii, in 1969, on a few hours of military leave, before he got back on the plane and returned to Vietnam. He had grandchildren. He had a faith he practiced quietly, without performance. He had, in the way of men who have seen real things and survived them, a quality that is increasingly rare and increasingly mocked in the country he spent his life serving. He had integrity. And tonight the President of the United States said good! I have been sitting with that word for hours now. Good. One syllable. The thing you say when the coffee is hot or the traffic is moving. The thing a man who has never had to bury anyone, never had to sit in the specific silence of a room where someone is newly absent, reaches for when he wants the world to know he is satisfied. Good. The daughters are crying and the wife is alone in the house and good. I want to speak directly to the Americans reading this. Not the political Americans. Just the human ones. The ones who have lost a father. The ones who know what it is to be in that first hour, when you keep forgetting and then remembering again, when ordinary objects become unbearable, when the world outside the window seems obscene in its indifference. I want to ask you, simply, to hold that feeling for a moment, and then to understand that the man you elected looked at it and typed a single word. Good. This is not a country having a bad day. I need you to understand that. Countries have bad days. Elections go wrong. Leaders disappoint. Institutions bend. But there is a different thing, a rarer and more terrible thing, that happens when the moral center of a place simply gives way. Not dramatically. Not with a single catastrophic event. But quietly, in increments, until one evening a president celebrates the death of an old man whose family is still warm with grief, and enough people find it acceptable that it becomes the weather. Just the weather. That is what is happening. That is what has happened. The world knows. From Tokyo to Oslo, from London to Buenos Aires, people are not angry at America tonight. Anger would mean there was still something to fight for, some remaining faith to be betrayed. What I see, in the reactions from everywhere that is not here, is something older and sadder than anger. It is the look people get when they have waited a long time for someone they love to find their way back, and have finally understood that they are not coming. America is being grieved. Past tense, almost. The idea of it. The thing it represented to people who had nothing else to believe in, who came here with everything they owned in a single bag because they had heard, somehow, across an ocean, that this was the place where decency was written into the walls. That idea is not resting. It is not suspended. It is being buried, in real time, with 7,450 likes before dinner. And the church said nothing. Seventy million people have decided that this man, this specific man who has cheated everyone he has ever made a promise to, who has mocked the disabled and the dead and the grieving, who celebrated tonight while a family wept, is an instrument of God. The pastors who made that bargain did not just trade away their credibility. They traded away the thing that made them worth listening to in the first place. The cross they carry now is a costume. The faith they preach is a loyalty oath with scripture attached. When the history of American Christianity is written, this will be the chapter they skip at seminary. Now I want to talk about the men who stand next to him. Because this is the part that actually breaks my heart. JD Vance is not a bad man. I have to say that, because it is true, and because the truth matters even now, especially now. Marco Rubio is not a bad man. Lindsey Graham is not a bad man. They are idiots, but not bad, as in BAD! These are men with mothers who raised them and children who love them and friends who remember who they were before all of this. They are not monsters. Monsters are simple. Monsters do not cost you anything emotionally because there is nothing in them to mourn. These men are something more painful than monsters. They are men who knew better, and know better still, and will get up tomorrow and do it again. Every small compromise they made had a reason. Every moment they looked the other way had a justification that sounded, at the time, almost reasonable. And now they have arrived here, at a place where a president celebrates the death of an old man and they will find a way, on television, to say nothing that means anything, and they will go home to houses where children who carry their name are waiting, and they will say goodnight, and they will say nothing. Their oldest friends are watching. The ones who knew Rubio when he still believed in something. Who knew Graham when he said, out loud, on the record, that this exact man would destroy the Republican Party and deserve it. Who sat next to Vance and thought here is someone worth knowing. Those friends are not angry tonight. They moved through anger a long time ago. What they feel now is the quiet, irrecoverable sadness of watching someone disappear while still being present. Of watching a person they loved choose, again and again, to become less. That is what cowardice costs. Not the coward. The people who loved him. And in the comments tonight, the followers celebrate. People who ten years ago brought casseroles to grieving neighbours. Who stood in the rain at gravesides and meant the words they said. Who told their children that we do not speak ill of the dead because the dead were someone's beloved. Those people are tonight typing gleeful things about a man whose daughters are not yet done crying. And they feel clean doing it. Righteous. Because somewhere along the way the thing they were given in exchange for their decency was the feeling of belonging to something, and that feeling is very hard to give up even when you can no longer remember what you gave for it. When Trump is gone, they will still be here. Standing in the silence where the noise used to be. Without the permission the crowd gave them. Without the pastor who told them their cruelty was holy. They will be alone with what they said and what they cheered and what they chose to become, and there will be no one left to tell them it was righteous. That morning is coming. Robert Mueller flew across the Pacific on military leave to hold his newborn daughter for a few hours before returning to the war. He came home. He buried his dead with honour. He served presidents of both parties because he understood that the institution was larger than any one man. He told his grandchildren that a lie is the worst thing a person can do, that a reputation once lost cannot be recovered, and he lived that, every day, in the quiet and unglamorous way of people who actually believe what they say. He was the kind of American the world used to point to when it needed to believe the story was true. He died last night. His wife is alone in their house in Georgetown. His daughters are learning what the world is without him in it. And somewhere in the particular hush that falls over a family in the first hours of loss, the most powerful man and the biggest loser on earth sent a message to say he was glad. The world that loved what America was supposed to be is grieving tonight. Not for Robert Mueller only. For the country that produced him and then became this. For the distance between what was promised and what was delivered. For the suspicion, growing quieter and more certain with each passing month, that the America people believed in was always partly a story, and the story is over now, and there is nothing yet to replace it. That is all it needed to be. A man died. His family is broken open with grief. That is all it needed to be. Instead the President said good. And the country that once stood for something looked away 🇺🇸 Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

South African teenager Bohlale Mphahlele developed an innovative personal safety device designed to look like a simple piece of jewelry. Known as the Alerting Earpiece, the device is built to resemble a regular earring while discreetly containing a small camera and emergency alert system. When activated, the earpiece can capture images and send a distress signal to selected contacts. The alert can also include the wearer’s live GPS location, helping trusted individuals or emergency responders locate the person quickly. The idea behind the design is to provide a discreet safety tool that can be used in situations where reaching for a phone or drawing attention may not be possible. Mphahlele presented the concept at the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists, where the project received recognition from judges and education officials. Her invention highlights how young innovators are using technology to address real-world challenges, particularly around personal safety and rapid emergency communication.

Did he explain to you how, despite representing the NP, Despite representing the party that was the architect and enforcer of apartheid, Despite his party having imprisoned Nelson Mandela for 27 years, Despite the ANC winning the majority of the vote, Despite all of this, when his heart should have been filled with revenge and unbridled anger, Despite all of this, Despite it all, Mandela appointed him, Roelf Meyer, a Deputy Minister of Law and Order during the height of apartheid’s brutalities, its enforcer, and later Minister of Defence as tensions rose when it ended, Did he tell you that despite all of this, Nelson Mandela opened his heart and invited him into his Cabinet? Did he tell you that Nelson Mandela’s spirit was not an anomaly? Did he tell you why the transition was largely peaceful, when all expected a race war? Did he tell why even Nelson Mandela would not have stopped a people angry and hurt, but they too, chose not to do this but co-exist and 32 years later, this has not changed? Did he tell you the core of “why,” as a reflection of “who?” Forgiving to a degree of self-harm. Trusting when distrust ought to prevail. Loyal when disloyalty would not be misplaced. Did he tell you as a result most South Africans just want to live in peace and get along? Did he tell you that a dark underbelly of violent crime exists in South Africa? Did he tell you that the cause of the violent crime is the same cause in the American cities that sit with some South African cities in the upper echelons of cities with the most homicides in the world? The flaws in humanity. Flawed humans that exist as a feature of the human race, no geographic boundary contains. Governing errors that like in the US, exist in SA. Did he tell you that much of this violence occurs within communities, therefore, if you must reduce it, intra-racial rather than between them, and is not driven by racial ideology? Did he tell you that inter-racial violence is not a defining feature of South Africa’s crime patterns? Did he tell you that most violent crime is not targeted by profession, and farmers, account for a tiny statistical fraction of overall category of killings, well under 1% in most years? Did he tell you to drop your preconceived notions of who South Africa is, because they are wrong, learn and speak from a place of truth? Did he tell you that, like he did, you will have to learn from your errors, dispel your racial & ideologically based fallacies, and talk? I hope you listened. I hope you do better. For your sake, for the US’s sake, for South Africa’s sake. We are complex, but we are not murderous savages devoid of humanity. We are a proud people. We are loyal people. And that means that closing ranks when a threat, an insult, or an assessment is wrong and unfair, is a guarantee. Political differences be damned. Race be damned. So unbreakable is that fortress of unity that we would sooner live with dire consequences behind it than live under the rule of an external force. I, personally, just an ordinary, Jane Public wish you well because if you do not succeed, a war of attrition will continue, and South Africa in a position of consequences be damned will not be first to fold because that strong is the need not to be subjected to anything that infringes on our sovereignty. Those consequences will be undeserved. And your failure to convince, deserved. There is a middle ground. Be like Roelf. Talk. Learn. Extend a hand. And a hand extended in genuine intent to build together will be warmly embraced. Without that, backs will turn so fast there will be nothing left for you to achieve. Good luck.
U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of South Africa@USAmbRSA

A privilege to meet Roelf Meyer today and learn more about the work he did to help create South Africa’s democracy. Our countries share a commitment to dialogue, democratic values, and working together to address today’s challenges.

Happy to report that the #SouthAfrican🇿🇦 mission in Jordan has succesfully facilitated the movement of a South African lady who was stranded in Israel (Tel Aviv). She was there for a DJ gig. She's now in Jordan & will fly home this evening. The family is fully briefed. @DIRCO_ZA leaves no one behind!
