I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036.
"If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me.
And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance.
And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."
@AfganPm You know Iran is losing badly when people have to start posting fake news to try and give some lond of balance to what is a one way fight. And if theres no deal then some Iranian leaders have but a weekend left on Earth.
Today, two-thirds of Israel’s electricity is reportedly out. Today, the IRGC launched its highest number of missiles at the Zionists—more than 100. Two out of the six units of the Orot Rabin thermal power plant have been completely destroyed.
This power station is located on Israel’s Mediterranean coast in Hadera and is owned and operated by the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC). As of 2022, it is Israel’s largest power station, with six thermal generation units and a total capacity of 2.59 GW, primarily using coal as fuel.
Iran is now using heavy missiles. Success will be Iran’s.
@amaBhungane Repay only? More like criminal charges and jailtime. We have here fraud and theft of state resources. SA lawlessness is on the increase because we simply dont apply the law.
The case now rests before the Special Tribunal, which will ultimately determine whether Red Roses Africa (Pty) Ltd - and by default also Gumede - should repay almost R400-million to the SAPS.
An SIU investigation places tycoon Robert Gumede at the centre of a dodgy R514m SAPS PPE tender, awarded to his nephew’s company - Red Roses Africa - in 2020 at the start of SA’s Covid ordeal.
@TheCitizen_News Kenny just take a drive around johannesburg and just see the disaster that is roads. @MyJRA are failing at every turn..they font backfill properly. The tar either collapses or we are left with speed humps because the tar is not level and not properly sealed. Poor quality of work
@pierredevos Dunga was implicated in an illegal blue lights crash that killed someone. Auditnissues emerged during his tenure as mmc for fiance in Ekurhuleni. There's a R2 bn investigation ongoing in Coe during his tenure of just over a year. Now he takes over finance of Gauteng.
He's not a woman, and he's not a hero. He's a man and he's a cheat. He knows damn well he's a man and that's why he can run faster than nearly every woman alive despite not being competitive with the best of his own sex.
He's not being tossed aside bc he is a minority, he's being tossed aside bc he is male. It's not some insidious form of discrimination against people of colour or people from the global south: rather, undiscovered DSDs typically only occur in very poor areas of poor countries - hence the global south.
His DSD occurs exclusively in men. He's been through male puberty, with all its benefits in sports. He posted this photo of himself, aged 15, in his book. There is no way the person in the pic thinks he's a girl.
Shame on Time for giving him space.
@WesternPulse88 We need a full disclosure on how exactly the fuel and diesel prices arw calculated in SA. I think @OUTASA are working on that at present.
This will forever remain the greatest loss and the most powerful message ever. Every time I watch it again, my emotions change; it's impossible to rewind this.🥹😢
Don't wait to be happy, be happy, be happy now.💖💖
Iran’s current naval blockade of the Hormuz Strait could be ended by the U.S. or a joint Western-led naval expedition force. The risk of suffering military casualties from conventional Iranian weapons certainly exists but the operation would ultimately be successful and the strait would be reopened.
However, what would happen if Iran gained nuclear weapons and would be able to seize and maintain control of the Strait of Hormuz through nuclear threats in the future?
The world economy would face immediate and catastrophic disruption.
The narrow waterway carries roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day, or about 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption and 25-27% of seaborne oil trade.
Another 20% of liquefied natural gas trade passes through the strait, primarily from Qatar to Asia.
Even if Iran’s coastal missile batteries, mines and fast-attack craft can already turn the strait into a potential “kill box,” nuclear deterrence would neutralize the conventional U.S. or allied naval response that can overcome such Iranian weapons.
Tehran could halt tanker traffic indefinitely, demanding sanctions relief, recognition of its nuclear arsenal or even policy shifts favoring its proxies across the region.
Energy prices could surge to $150–200 per barrel, triggering inflation spikes, supply-chain collapse and recession across the world.
The result would be a nuclear-backed energy monopoly that fractures Western unity and tilts global power decisively toward Tehran and its allies in Moscow and Beijing while the strait’s closure would not merely raise prices but also it would weaponize the world’s oil lifeline to advance revolutionary Islam from the Gulf to the streets of Europe and North America.
It's paramount that we reopen the Gulf and keep it open forever.
@Absolute_Kganki@TMFoundation_ when a policy of steal kill and destroy then that policy will eventually consume the party that pursues such. The country will survive the ANC won't. The greed is devouring each other. The Party is nothing like that of Albert Luthuli's time or the founders back in 2012
“The ANC is too big to fail, and I’m not talking about losing an election, that can happen and it’s fine. I’m talking about the ANC itself collapsing, if that happens then the country will become ungovernable. If the ANC collapses due its internal crisis, then it’ll transfer all its problems to the general population; then the country will be in crisis.” - President Thabo Mbeki on @eNCA
@visegrad24 In supporting Iranian regime the @MYANC are not only supporting the killing of innocents and gross human rights abuses but it is also supporting censorship and the free flow of information As internet has been switched off SA Mainstream media & @MTNza are silent on this matter.
The Islamic regime in Iran is cracking down on the last avenues for citizens to access the internet
The regime has confiscated 139 Starlink terminals and arrested 46 people involved in their sale. Activists and digital rights organizations estimate there are around 50,000 Starlink terminals in the country.
According to the monitoring group NetBlocks, internet access has been almost entirely cut off in Iran for over a month.

“This is what they claim put Man on the Moon”
Today NASA are claiming they are returning to the moon, not landing on it, like they were able to do 50+ years ago repeatedly, just flying around it.
Imagine still believing this thing landed on the moon in 1969.
@Gh09171447@RenaldoGouws@NPA_Prosecutes@afriforum It may be that gupta tapes from CCTV footage of deals & money changing hands at saxonwold shabeen involving senior ANC & govt officials guarantees his freedom from prosecution & jail. If he goes down they all go down with him to jail. Its why Guptas were helped to flee SA.
@RenaldoGouws Jacob Zuma was released from prison bt he @NPA_Prosecutes for allegedly being terminally ill.He was ordered to pay back legal fees and being a criminal hes unfit for any and all governmental positions in any way. So my question is why is he getting away with everything.@afriforum
The MK Party has launched a private members' bill to change the constitution. They want to remove Section 235 from the Constitution. This means that they want to outlaw self-determination based on cultural or linguistic values. Why?
