No amount of cyberbullying will change the facts: 1. Irregular migration cannot be addressed by vigilantism. Law enforcement must address all matters of criminality, including the abuse of immigration laws. 2. Migration will happen, but it must happen within the confines of the rule of law. 3. Dehumanising people does not address any problem, let alone immigration challenges. 4. Structural economic issues will not be addressed by targeting foreign nationals. 5. The history of South Africa cannot be told without understanding migration, from the Mfecane / Difaqane up to the dictates of colonial settlers.

The mobilisation, based on its framing of problems, DOES invite violence & hate. There is no way it is not going to result into mass looting & bloodshed. We know what we are talking about. We have organised marches since we were teenagers. We have looong engaged in nation scale agitation against - corruption, fees, anti-black racism and white supremacy. We have done nationwide shutdowns, confronted the establishment right from its heart for economic freedom & international solidarity. We are not NEW to this! We know it! We can see Counter-Revolution from far! It will not end well! Above all: it will not have any social or economic benefit from it. Zero! Just a country in ruin! We keep telling you, stop it, but you think you are heroic. Your handlers seek the destabilisation and international isolation of South Africa. And you are handing it to them on a silver platter- it will not end well! There is a BETTER way to deal with your problems: this is not it. You left those who are the cause of your unemployment, poverty and corruption unchallenged. You will only succeed to ruin your country- that is all! Again: I impress on you- stop this movement, it only leads to self-mutilation, self-sabotage and self-ruin

Stolen Palestinian land is now marketed as a holiday destination. Tourism platforms including Booking.com, Airbnb, and Expedia continue profiting from properties inside Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Maximum alert on the Flotilla! Israel has been given license to threaten, kidnap and shoot at civilians ALSO in int'l waters! Welcome to Apartheid without Borders - soon to be Apartheid Mediterranean Consortium. Shame on the EU, its main enabler in this part of the world.

ALERT! Yet another act of piracy by the Israeli army in international waters: intercepting the flotilla carrying basic necessities to a desperate population in Gaza. Shame on European govts who are not acting to stop Israel! When will Israel's impunity end?

After having consulted the #DRC and #Uganda where the #Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus is known to be currently occurring, I determine that the epidemic constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), as defined in the provisions of IHR.

BREAKING! US court ha suspended the US sanctions against me! As the judge says: "Protecting the Freedom of speech is always just the public interest". Thanks to my daughter and my husband for stepping up to defend me, and everyone who has helped so far. Together we are One.

@Rahul_AJ_1990 @zilevandamme OMG are you thinking straight? 😬🫣

@zilevandamme I would like the next President of the ANC to be one of the following, in order of preference: 1. Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma 2. Dr Naledi Pandor 3. Dr Zweli Mkhize 4. Ms Zingiswa Losi

I’m curious. Next year the ANC goes to Congress. Who do you think should be the next President of the ANC? Not who you think it will be but who you think it should be. (Read follow-up tweet)

BREAKING: Cabinet has approved the Children's Amendment Bill! But we're not done. Parliament must recognise how important this Bill is for young children and process it without delay. Learn more: bit.ly/4nBy7Op #RealReformForECD #PassTheBill #ChildrensAmendmentBill

@dailymaverick Not sure how any political party will fix this mess. It has been allowed to go on for way too long by national govt. They knew this was happening.

Incredible work of @nicd_sa, South Africa in sequencing the #hantavirus There has been excellent collaboration as @WHO works to coordinate efforts and actions of governments, experts around the world, the Ship to keep people safe. @DrTedros @Chikwe_I cnbcafrica.com/2026/two-cases…

@thedreydossier Have a look at this from South African media: x.com/i/status/20512…

if Brenda with the stomach flu can post, what’s this #cruise #hantavirus

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term? Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…” Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term. Silence. Every single one of them refused to say it. Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face. Never stop connecting the dots.

First world probs: HOW with alllll the resources & money @WOOLWORTHS_SA, is it possible they have the shittest app on the planet?!?! It never ever gets any better. I order on @Sixty60_Tweets, they know exactly what I regularly order & delivery is in 45 mins sometimes less! 🤷🏽‍♀️💩🤔
