This reprehensible parliamentarian, @Mngxitama2, should know that @afriforum’s legal team is coming for him in a big way. I have just instructed our legal team to determine the most appropriate legal course of action and proceed accordingly.
These hateful statements about an Afrikaner farmer who was brutally tortured are no political game. We are prepared to commit every resource necessary to ensure that he is brought to book.

I'd actually argue that horror is the most Christian genre of film. Obviously that's not true of the torture porn stuff -- films in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre tradition -- but supernatural horror is often subtly Christian and sometimes very explicitly Christian. It's the only category of film where the supernatural, demons, spirits, exorcisms, the Church, etc, are consistently taken seriously. The only genre where the priest might actually be the good guy. Horror has deep roots in Christian thought and tradition.

As @POTUS has made clear, the South African people are being failed by a government that is destroying its economy through an obsessive pursuit of racial grievance against the Afrikaner minority. The South African government has consistently failed to adequately address rural crime, violent and dehumanizing rhetoric, and race-based discriminatory policies against Afrikaners and other minority populations.
Today, I’m announcing a new visa restriction policy targeting foreign nationals who enact or enable policies that promote race-based discrimination, incite violence, or enable land confiscation without compensation in South Africa. Those responsible for these injustices have no place in the United States. state.gov/releases/office-of…

I am uncertain what the South African government is trying to achieve. Every single price is going up. The price of petrol, the price of electricity, taxes, everything is becoming more and more expensive. We have a 1% growth rate for the past 15 years, so everyone is much poorer now than they were 15 years ago. They choose policies that actively kill jobs and discriminate on race. And yet they're still wondering why this government is becoming extremely unpopular.
I was cautiously optimistic about the GNU. But it seems to be a Mexican standoff between people who don't know how to do anything.

In an actual functional society, you just expect things to work. One guy turns up to fix something as soon as it breaks. Having 5 dudes and the mayor turn up for a photo op is how the 3rd world operates.

.@afriforum’s court case against expropriation without compensation:
My bank refused to process my attempt to pay R0 to my daughter!
While sitting in court listening to President Ramaphosa’s legal team argue that R0 (nil) constitutes the payment of compensation, I tried to “pay an amount of R0” to my daughter using my banking app.
Unlike President Ramaphosa’s legal team, my bank refused to process my attempt to pay R0 to my daughter. It insisted that the payment amount had to be greater than zero. It appears that in the real world R0 is not regarded as an amount or a payment. 😀
Section 25(2)(b) of the Constitution explicitly provides that expropriation may take place only if compensation is paid by the payment of an amount.
Apparently, my bank and the Constitution have a better understanding of what constitutes both a payment and an “amount” than the ideologically driven argument that R0 can be regarded as the payment of an amount.

What is Adriaan Basson's salary? The public deserves insight into News24's financial statements. Given that it's the biggest news outlet in South Africa, we deserve to have as much access to its financial information as they publish of others.
It makes no sense for News24 to claim that the public has a right to financial statements of influential institutions in the public sphere, but then not to reveal its own finances to the same extent, given that News24 is indeed an influential institution in the public sphere.

After John Steenhuisen’s latest outburst and the DA’s handling of key issues like the foot-and-mouth crisis, I’ve decided it’s time to draw a line in the sand.
The Freedom Front Plus offers clear policies: ending race-based BEE, protecting property rights, reducing state interference, backing free-market growth, strengthening border control, restoring law and order, defending mother-tongue education, scrapping the NHI, and putting South Africa’s trade interests first.
This is not about race. It is about policy, performance, and good governance.

South Africa needs more independent investigative journalism.
Joe Emilio is currently raising funds for two new documentaries investigating the land grabs in Hermanus and Grabouw. He’s close to the finish line.
1,500 people donating just R100 each would fully fund the project.
If you can help, donate below. If not, please share.
