amazing that, in this age of super surveillance, and hyper coverage it is really difficult to generate a consistent and comprehensive impression of what goes on in ukraine, gaza and hormuz/iran

Open Letter to Amazon: Remove Race from Your Support Programme Dear Amazon, The U.S. government rightly regards South Africa’s race-based policies as a barrier to trade. One of the five key asks of the Trump administration is that race-based requirements imposed on American companies be removed. Solidarity supports this position. Yet Amazon, an American corporate giant, is going even further than South African law itself requires. Only companies that are 100% black-owned qualify for one of Amazon’s support programmes in South Africa. Any white shareholding disqualifies a company from participating in the programme. Amazon calls this racially exclusive programme “diversity”. There is a glaring contradiction here: while the U.S. government is fighting against trade barriers created by race-based policies, Amazon is imposing draconian racial restrictions on companies seeking to do business with it in South Africa. Exclusion based on race is not diversity. We therefore call on Amazon to remove race from its support programme. Racial exclusion is morally indefensible. Dr Dirk Hermann

Congratulations to @AdriaanBasson, @PieterDuToit, @wicks_jeff and the entire Media24 crew for losing more money this financial year than last year. Naspers must be so proud! 2025 - Loss of R247 Million 2026 - Loss of R313 Million This means that Media24 is losing Naspers R855,000 every single day they keep their doors open. Keep up the great work, guys and don't forget to blame AfriMAGA for this one too!

Replying to @jsteenhuisen
You fired Roman Cabanac for less. At least he didn't belittle, insult or attack the very people your department is supposed to look after. If your chief of staff is this brazen on emails then I don't even want to know what you discuss in your internal caucus. I'm really not sure what happened to you John but it's not good. The power went to your head. I miss the John Steenhuisen I knew before 2024.

Replying to @jsteenhuisen
If this is the type of comments that leak from your department, it adds weight to the rumors of how department insiders speak of farmers with contempt behind closed doors.

FM @RonaldLamola, you blame concerns about violence and failed governance on "MAGA politics." Ghana and Nigeria just airlifted their citizens out of your country. Thousands of South Africans are fleeing to America to escape your government’s Left-wing policies. Unemployment still remains at 33% while you and corrupt government elites get rich while promoting race-based laws and chanting "Kill the Boer." If caring about your own citizens is MAGA, South Africa might want to give it a try.
The South Africa Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Ronald Lamola, has once again attacked President Donald Trump and the millions of Americans that voted for him: “We know, that in the US, the MAGA movement is very clear to attack black people. We know what they stand for. They stand against the human rights." In November 2025, in a CNN interview, Minister Lamola accused Trump's administration of pushing an "agenda of white supremacy." Is this what you and your comrades consider "doing everything we can to fix the diplomatic crisis with the USA," President Ramaphosa? 🤨

Am sure he will be heading to the patures soon
Farmers and their organisations had a rapport with Steenhuisen. They had a good working relationship. And then, with no mandate from his voters, the law, or international organisations, he declared war on them, for no good reason. Why has he not been recalled?

So, The ANC admit that breaking the law is ok then ?
The main message we are being told here by the racist Afriforum is that if we dare stand up for black people, dare stand up for the marginalised and dare stand up for our generational mission we will be targeted. When I fought for Julius to succeed me as ANCYL President we knew that the road ahead was treacherous and that the grandchildren of apartheid would never rest in their targeting of the Freedom in our lifetime Generation. This sentence is too harsh and my thoughts are with my brother Julius. Silamulele Peter Mokaba Silamulele.

South Africa has extremely racist laws
🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says that the country will not abandon its DEI policies, known as “Black Economic Empowerment (BEE).” “Those who say BEE and affirmative action must stop are just dreaming,” he said. South Africa has strict laws that mandate race-based hiring practices. A new law called the Employment Equity Amendment Act sets hiring targets for 2025–2030 across 18 economic sectors. Some workforce targets aim for 90–96% of employees to come from designated groups, which include Black people, women, and people with disabilities (minimum 3%). That means that if a company has more than 5% white men, it could face penalties of up to 10% of its income.
