China has joined Germany and Russia in publicly challenging Washington's exclusion of South Africa from the G20, as foreign ministers from the world's leading economies gather in Atlanta. Beijing says South Africa remains an important member of the grouping and should continue participating in its activities. The intervention adds to growing diplomatic pressure on the Trump administration, which has refused to invite Pretoria to meetings under its G20 presidency, including December's leaders' summit in Miami.

How the tables have turned! I remember how dejected General Masemola looked, all alone in the dock, half a dozen months ago.
Kwaze kwa busy on this Friday. Nomvalo and the MK Party ngapha. Feroz Khan and his “gorgeous” ngale. And Cachalia and March and March kwelika banana.
Dawn Robinson. 😋🔥☺️😍
When En Vogue hit SNL in March 1992, they dismantled the myth that girl groups couldn’t sing full-throttle live in heels. Trading leads across Cindy, Dawn, Terry, and Maxine, their dynamic control remained untouchable—from Dawn’s raspy rock bite to Terry’s operatic belts. When they converged on the hook, their four-part harmonies locked in with their blend and zero backing tape. The album dropped 3 days later, proving to themselves and to the world just how Funky, these Divas really are.

Plain language to communicate a stern message. What stops South Africa from speaking like this?
"My message to you is simple: use your visa correctly, and we welcome you. If you or your family have misused visas in the past, or attempt to misuse one, you should not expect a new one. Remember, a visa is a privilege, not a right. We take our immigration laws seriously, and so should you," says Ambassador Massinga on using your U.S. visa the right way. #messagefromtheambassador

A quick process question, @AndiMakinana : Do Cabinet Ministers (acting or otherwise) normally put out media statements telling us what they've put in a Cabinet memo, before it actually is discussed at Cabinet?
Anizwe nje. Kumnandi eMsawawa. 🤦🏾♂️
BREAKING NEWS: The three Ethiopian nationals who are accused of the attempted murder that led to riots and torching of cars and businesses in the Durban CBD three weeks ago have been freed on R5000 bail by the Durban Magistrate’s Court.
The State wanted them to remain behind bars, saying they are flight risks, but the defence disagreed. The State said they won’t be safe outside, but the defence argued that all three accused literally live minutes away from three police stations in the Durban CBD and their safety is guaranteed.
The Magistrate remarked that the three are asylum seekers and as such, they enjoy the same constitutional rights as South Africans and freed them on bail with stringent conditions.
Furthermore, the State tried to point out discrepancies in their passports and asylum documents, raising issues of possible fraud and corruption.
However, the State’s argument was watered down by evidence that was given by an immigration official who told the court that their systems have glitches and sometimes it loses records, hence they don’t have some of the information required for the court to take an informed decision - KZN Tonight Podcast

The celebration of our diversity is always presented as mutual and inclusive, yet the compromises required to sustain it appear to be expected disproportionately from one side. We are constantly lectured on the virtues of diversity by those who make little effort to learn our languages and understand our cultures, yet are all too willing to impose their beliefs on us, through courts and otherwise.

Yesterday, on my way home, and listening to Tbo Touch on Metro FM, I heard him speak about how Checkers Sixty60 & Eats delivery riders often disregard traffic lights. Apparently, one of them had hit his car the day before…he says, before he could even get out of his car or process what had just happened, he was surrounded by a flood of foreigners, oops, i meant asylum seekers, swearing at him and making remarks about South Africans. He says they even insulted, Cyril Ramaposer…
What shocked him most was the sheer vitriol directed at him when, according to his account, he wasn’t even the one at fault!
I guess the water is finally reaching the VIP section of the Titanic…!!
