Xisnin:China has certainly been the more mature since the Trump attacks. A more powerful XI will definitely tame this unhinged Trump and his white supremacist radical followers. They're drunk on power. Palestinian and other world issues would persist, but surely Trump is adding fuel to the fire. |
bepositive11:It's gonna blow up in their faces - global sentiment is gonna move elsewhere away from the US. Life after Trump is uncertain for Israel, they'll never find peace. |
Righteousness2:My god stands for peace and diplomacy, your god stands for the crap Trump stands for - misinformation, lies, white supremacy, chauvinism & hypocrisy. He's expropriating Gaza for white Israelis while sanctioning SA because he wants 10% of the white population to own 90% of the land. Don't be a fool - wake up, Trump ain't your friend. |
Righteousness2:Check frontpage - "Trump suggests Palestinians leave Gaza". Same Trump that want Greenland and Panama is speaking against fathom land seizures of white land in SA. I curse the hypocritical god you & trump worship - he's a fraud. |
Can't the world just unite against US and Israel. Surely, they'll lose. This is why we need to strengthen BRICS. This is the year i finally support the rise of China. |
Righteousness2:Are you for real? Golan Heights in Syria, flattening of Gaza , limiting Palestinians to Northern Gaza, Trump proposal to resettle Palestinians in Egypt and Jordan. Etc, etc of decades of Israeli occupation and impunity. Face reality. |
Righteousness2:Show proof of land seizures in SA. I'm waiting... There's undeniable proof of Israeli seizures of Palestinian land over decades and now with impunity. |
NothingDoMe:Mantashe knows the real reason US gives aid to Africa, and he's capitalizing on it. |
Horus:I gave this guy triple 👍👍👍. White worshipping Nigerians coming for him! Only racist Australia is comfortable with racist white South Africans. Trump & Musk can have them - Ramaphosa about to expose their white supremacist agenda. |
helinues:Your Tinubu would never dare. Sit down. Email me your sobbing letter org.za. We'll represent all you spineless Waste African Cow-ntries. |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ddLvkxUI_I?si=8zxkXgmYiidTH8yn South African President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke to Elon Musk “on issues of misinformation and distortions about South Africa,” the presidency announced on Tuesday. “In the process, the President reiterated South Africa’s constitutionally embedded values of the respect for the rule of law, justice, fairness and equality,” it said. The presidency said the pair spoke on Monday, a day after US President Donald Trump threatened to cut off aid to South Africa over the alleged mistreatment of White farmers in the country. In a blistering post on Truth Social, Trump said he would halt funding until there was a full investigation into allegations that “South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY.”[/b Trump said “massive” human rights violations were happening in South Africa “for all to see,” without giving details or providing evidence. Ramaphosa on Monday denied that South African authorities were “confiscating land” and said his country was looking forward to working with the Trump administration “over our land reform policy.” Trump’s complaint, which he also made in 2018 during his first term in the White House, refers to South Africa’s complex land reform. During South Africa’s apartheid era, racist policies forcefully removed Black and non-White South Africans from the land for White use. Since South Africa’s first democratic elections in 1994, there has been a land redistribution and restitution provision in the country’s constitution. However, unemployment and poverty remain acute among Black South Africans, who make up around 80% of the population, yet own a fraction of the land. Last month, Ramaphosa signed a bill into law providing new guidelines for land expropriation, including enabling the government to expropriate land without compensation in certain cases. Musk, a South African-born billionaire and head of the US’ new Department of Government Efficiency, had previously criticized Ramaphosa’s new policy. In a post on X, the website he owns, Musk on Monday accused Ramaphosa of having “openly racist ownership laws.” Ramaphosa had said earlier that, like the United States and other countries, South Africa has “always had expropriation laws that balance the need for public usage of land and the protection of rights of property owners.” Responding to Trump’s aid threat, Ramaphosa said that, other than a major HIV/AIDS relief program, the US did not provide significant funding to South Africa.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpRbtyEj10I?si=O6RioFaxrOtAEUmA “Let us not immobilise all of Africa. Let’s just hold mirrors to the US. If they don’t give us money, we won’t give them minerals”. These were the cutting words of South Africa’s Minister of Mineral Resources Gwede Mantashe following threats from the United States’ president, Donald Trump. Trump has threatened to withhold funding from South Africa following the signing of the Land Expropriation Bill two weeks ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZM0QzYT6Aw?si=TfCfGmRQXgmTX88R But it seems SA is not going down without a fight. Mantashe was speaking at the 2025 African Mining Indaba being held in Cape Town this week, where he suggested that SA would not allow itself to be bullied. “If as a continent we are frightened and we fear everything, then we are going to collapse. But we will collapse with minerals at our doorstep,” he said. He reminded his audience that Africa was the world’s richest mining jurisdiction. The presidential spokesperson distanced government from the Minister's remarks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd8PTjahiZs?si=bg_6hX3l0d26aGa8 US BUYS SA’S MINERALS According to the US Office of Technology Evaluations, the United States imports a variety of minerals from South Africa, with a significant focus on precious metals. In 2021, the US’ imports from South Africa were valued at R298.86 billion ($15.7 billion), with the top commodity sectors being stone, glass, metals, and pearls (66.3%), base metals, iron, steel, tools (8.8%), and chemicals, plastics, rubber, and Leather products (8.1%). Platinum group metals are a significant export from SA to the US. US POISES ITSELF AS HUB OF HIGH-TECH AND NEEDS SA FOR THIS The US has branded itself as the centre of high-tech production. This needs platinum group metals, which are essential for various high-technology applications. In 2021, platinum group metals accounted for almost half of South Africa’s exports to the US. If South Africa were to cease supplying these critical minerals to the US it could have significant implications on high-technology production. A disruption in this supply could also pose risks to US national security and affect various industries dependent on these materials. AGOA And while the US may also threaten to dissolve its African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), the US could suffer more than SA might. The AGOA is a US trade policy that allows certain African countries, including South Africa, to sell goods to the US without paying import taxes (duties). While it allows SA businesses to sell a wide range of products in the .S without extra costs, The U.S. gets access to valuable South African products (especially minerals like platinum and manganese) at competitive prices. The US is allowed to remove SA from the agreement if it feels the country is not respecting human rights – as it does in the case of the Expropriation Bill.

The National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) in South Africa said it will be laying criminal charges against a man who was seen in a recent viral video pouring an alcoholic beverage, suspected to be beer, down the mouth of a fish identified as a common carp.https://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/viral-video-leads-to-nspca-charges-against-man-who-was-pouring-beer-into-a-fishs-mouth-91a8a42f-65dd-41e6-be3d-ebf8ceb74acf

Patriotic Alliance (PA) party deputy president Kenny Kunene has drawn widespread criticism for his remarks about undocumented foreign nationals who died while engaging in illegal mining in Stilfontein, North West. Kunene stated his party has no sympathy for those involved, describing their actions as a theft of South Africa’s mineral wealth. “I have no sympathy for those who have died stealing the wealth of our country. They have committed a crime by entering this country illegally,” Kunene said during a panel discussion on Newzroom Afrika on Thursday night. Kunene linked illegal mining to broader criminal behaviour, including incidents of gender-based violence. “You saw in the West Rand, Gauteng, where they raped young women who were trying to make money with what God has given them as talent. They are raping in Ekurhuleni, Johannesburg, and the Free State. These are criminals,” he said. He added: “I have absolutely no sympathy. They must die like rats underground there, all of them. They must burn in hell.” Kunene, who also serves as the City of Johannesburg’s member of the mayoral committee (MMC) for transport, argued that both illegal miners and those purchasing illicitly mined gold are committing treason, endangering South Africa’s economy. “A sober country, with a sober leadership, would treat this matter as treason. Yet here, we are being told to sympathise with criminals collapsing our economy. As the Patriotic Alliance, our stance is clear: these illegal foreigners must be deported. But those arrested at Stilfontein must be charged with treason for stealing our country’s wealth. “After serving 40 or 50 years in prison, they must then be deported. Serious countries do not treat this matter as lightly as our government. These are serious criminals. I will not sympathise with them. In fact, I am hoping God kills all of them; they must burn underground and in hell.” Kunene claimed the stolen resources could have been used to fund social services, including free education. “Our pensioners are being paid peanuts, yet criminals are stealing the wealth of our country that could finance living pensions. I am not going to sympathise with these people.” However, his remarks sparked backlash during the panel discussion. Fanon Moema, spokesperson for the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in North West, condemned Kunene’s comments as “irresponsible and careless.” Criminal activities are criminal activities irrespective of who is committing those criminal activities. Even if it is established that over 90 percent of foreign nationals who are involved in this illicit mining, you do have South Africans who are involved in illicit mining, both underground and on the surface. Let me tell you how, through a programme of search and seizure by South African Police Service, they discovered that there are goods that are being provided to those illicit miners underground by South African citizens," said Moema. “Crime has no nationality, crime is crime. Those who are involved in these criminal activities must not enjoy any immunity. They must face prosecution. To limit that and say they are foreign nationals found there and so forth is quite careless. You do have our people from South Africa who are involved in illicit economy, selling goods that those who are doing business buy the stock and go underground. Once the stock is depleted, they go out and get more stock." He said the illicit mining is the work of organised syndicates involving people of different nationalities. “You cannot just limit this to nationality or citizenship. We must deal with this matter as an issue of syndicates,” said Moema. He said some of the people involved in the illegal mining as young children in their teenage years. The miners, according to Moema, were trafficked into South Africa.
