1/2) Yesterday I met Jana Lategan. She survived a farm attack 4 months ago. 3 intruders attacked her with an axe while her husband was tending to the crops. They shattered her leg. One then attempted to rape her but she fought him off, smashing a coffee table over his body.

I'm deeply hurt that no one has shown sympathy towards me for the times that I've experienced racism from EFF and pro BEE folks. Does my lived experience not count? 😢
Today we escorted a team from the BBC to film an interview with a farm attack survivor. Ingrid Smith's husband was gunned down in front of her and her daughters. 4 heavily armed attackers wearing body armour.

Last week it came to light that the SAPS "lost" another 700 firearms. Yesterday a police station was robbed of guns and ammunition. If you haven't realised that your safety is in your own hands, I think it's time you do.
Today the

I identify as a multi-millionaire. Yet the bank refuses to increase my bank balance. When will this discrimination against trans-multi-millionaires end?
4 Cash in transit robbers were killed today during a shootout with farm watch members outside Hoedspruit, MP. Organised and trained community safety structures are the solution.

Magistrate T. Olivier has ruled that the video of Julius Malema recklessly firing a rifle in to the air, may be submitted as evidence in the case

There was a tense exchange as Police Minister, Bheki Cele, met Gugulethu residents today. Action Society accused him of neglecting the Western Cape. The group wants policing devolved to the province.

Julius Malema will today again appear in court for recklessly discharging a firearm in public.

Condolences to the family. Absolutely heartbreaking.
You prove our point. When EFF members literally refused white students access to campus and assaulted others...crickets.
@afriforumjeug
creates awareness about that and you lose your heads. Every person more upset about this campaign than the actual racism is part of the problem.
Afriforum Youth has now confirmed that they put up the "No whites" "Blacks only" signs at UP. Will they face consequences for the hatred & tension they've incited? Will there be apologies & retractions from the people who shared their lies & used them to advance agendas?
We strongly condemn and are deeply disappointed by the public relations stunt carried out by mischievous individuals, involving the placement of "no whites allowed" stickers on certain entrances of the Hatfield Campus. The University is firmly committed to upholding the

And so one asks, where is science? These countries have always said to us that we should base our decisions on science. But when the time comes for them to apply it to themselves, they do not, but resort to their own self-interest.

This is, arguably, the most consequential 80 seconds of any speech delivered by a government official in as long as I can remember.
This is the panopticon and the new digital gulag. This is the start of The De-personing. This will expand to every country and every "offense."
