G20 SUMMIT PROVED THAT THE CHANGING WORLD IS LEAVING THE US BEHIND
The US government finally received a G20 Presidency hand-over at a low-key event in the South African capital, Pretoria. It was no less that Washington deserved. The Trump administration boycotted the recent G20 Leaders Summit, the first to be held on the African continent. The boycott was premised on a litany of blatant lies about […]
GAZA’S DEMISE IS NOT ON ISRAEL’S BRUTALITY, IT IS ON THE WATCH OF THE US, PERIOD!
The US has correctly gained international reputation as a dishonest peace broker. There is no need to look beyond Gaza, the epicentre of the failure of global diplomacy. Every credible institution in the world has descried the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza since October 2023. It is the human tragedy never seen in both scope […]
STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA DURING THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
“This is a matter of great significance, not only for the people of Palestine, not only for the people of Israel, but for all people who cherish the ideals of freedom and self-determination. Shortly after the United Nations was created, the General Assembly adopted Resolution 181, which recommended the creation of two states, Israel and […]
ROGUE STATE ISRAEL DETERMINED TO PULL DOWN THE US IN ITS INTERNATIONAL DECLINE
Israeli’s daring bombardment of Qatar this week revealed more than meets the eye. Let me cut to the chase: Under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israelis have neither regard nor interest in brokering peace with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, a movement that was born in the 1970’s as a militant response the decades-long illegal […]
A NEW, JUST WORLD ECONOMIC ORDER MUST SUPPLANT THE EVILS OF WAR
On Tuesday, in yet another brazen violation of international law, Israel unleashed long-range strikes into Doha, Qatar, targeting leaders of Hamas who had gathered there to discuss the latest U.S. ceasefire proposal for Gaza. At around 4:00 pm local time, twelve air strikes hit residential buildings in the city, killing two, including the son of a […]
SA CONDEMNS THE ILLEGAL AND UNPROVOKED ATTACKE BY ISRAELI DEFENCE FORCE IN QATAR
The South African Government unequivocally condemns the illegal and unprovoked attack carried out by the Israeli Defence Force in Doha, Qatar, which targeted a civilian building in a residential area, which purportedly housed members of the Political Bureau of Hamas. This attack on Qatari territory constitutes a blatant violation of international law, breaching the principles […]
FINALLY, WESTERN MEDIA SPEAKS OUT AGAINST ISRAEL – ALBEIT BELATEDLY!
The silence, nay, collaboration of the Western mainstream media with Israel’s genocidal military onslaught against Gaza and the Palestinian people in general has been mind-boggling. Since October 2023 when Hamas launched a surprise violent attack in Southern Israel that resulted in some 1,200 people killed, life for Palestinian men, women and children has been akin […]
BRICS IS A CATALYST FOR INEVITABLE CHANGES IN UNJUST WORLD AFFAIRS
Brazilian President Lula Da Silva’s blunt assessment of the current state of world politics would have been frightening were his views not so much of an open secret. During the recently-concluded BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, President Lula stated: “We are witnessing an unprecedented collapse of multilateralism.” In more ways than one, the Brazilian […]
PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA ARRIVES IN THE US ON A TRICKY WORKING VISIT
The Red Carpet was roll-out as South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa arrived at the Joint Base Andrews Airport in Washington, US, for a high-stakes diplomatic visit. This working visit is aimed at mending the increasingly strained relationship between South Africa and the United States. Once considered a stable partner on the African continent, South Africa […]
THE “AFRIKANER REFUGEES” FALLACY EXPOSES THE MALADY IN SA-US RELATIONS
Never in the history of democratic South Africa has so few caused so much pain to so many and with impunity. The preposterous saga of a very tiny minority of Afrikaners who this week flew to the US under the utterly false pretense of escaping persecution has pooh-poohed Mandela’s dream of a South Africa for […]
MORALLY UPRIGHT SA LEADS THE WAY AGAINST ISRAEL’S IMPUNITY BEFORE ICJ
This week, the international community once again stood still and listened to harrowing evidence of Israeli brutality amid its genocidal mission in Gaza and the occupied territories of Palestine, where more than 50,000 people have been killed since October 2023 and more continue to die every hour, week and month. The International Court of Justice […]
KENNY KUNENE DEFENDS THE PA’S UNWAVERING SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL
Patriotic Alliance (PA) Deputy President Kenny Kunene has vehemently defended his party and the DA’s recent visit to Israel – shrouded in apparent veil of secrecy – saying the country’s Government of National Unity (GNU) needs to recognize that every participating party in the coalition has its own unique manifesto. A nine-member delegation made up […]
