543 severely burned children had hundreds of operations. They climbed mountains medically & in their minds. Their mother Bronwen Jones needs a successor after 31 years at the helm. Help us to find that person. Part of the story is here youtu.be/kWCbJ07m1wE

Guys what are you doing? “Voting results”? An election that has not taken place cannot produce results. A newsroom should not need reminding of this. If these figures come from a poll or projection, identify the source and label them accurately. Presenting voter preferences as votes counted is a serious editorial failure. You risk establishing a false benchmark against which actual results may later be judged, feeding suspicion when the outcome differs from the expectation your reporting helped create. Withdraw this post and publish a clear correction. Then examine the editorial controls that allowed it through. Audiences should not have to supervise an "African" broadcaster’s grasp of basic election reporting.
The Democratic Alliance is leading the City of Tshwane voting results with 33.9%, followed by the African National Congress at 24.9%, as residents’ voting preferences emerge. Tune in to #eNCA on #DStv403.

our Ethical Shopping quest has found a soft drink in South Africa that does not send profits to the USA or Israel or to the UAE. Fruticana is #Zambian so its profits and taxes won't fund current genocides. Thought you'd like to know

The UK. A place where, if you give an old person holding a placard a drink of water, you're a terrorist.

And Kevin (51) from Clacton in Essex travels to all these phone boxes, to paint them. Each one takes him 5 hours to do (here he was in Durness in the #FarNorth of #Scotland in #August2026 )

🚨 This Israeli Rabbi just admitted something insane: “For Israel to have nuclear weapons, we had to sell stolen black babies to families in the US, where they did medical experiments on them. Now Israel has enough nuclear power to wipe out the entire world in a minute.” This is the Yemenite Children Affair (1950s) : Thousands of babies from poor Yemeni Jewish families “disappeared” right after birth in Israeli transit camps and hospitals. Parents were told their newborns had “suddenly died.” Many were reportedly kidnapped and either: 1. Sold for adoption to childless Ashkenazi families (in Israel and abroad), or 2. Used in medical experiments. Over 1,000 cases are officially documented. Some estimates go up to 4,500. In 2016, Netanyahu publicly acknowledged the state took “hundreds” of children without consent. The video below is the Rabbi himself bragging about it. This is one of the darkest and least-talked-about chapters of early Israeli history. How is this not discussed everywhere? – at Washington, DC

🔴 An Israeli soldier posted this photo of Palestinian journalist Marah Awad, blindfolded and with her hands bound, following her arrest during a pre-dawn Israeli military raid on her home in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, on October 26. According to her brother Hamouda Awad, Israeli soldiers questioned her about her writings on Israel, accused her of “incitement,” and confiscated her phone and computer before taking her away. Soldiers also reportedly beat two of her brothers during the raid. No formal charges have been publicly confirmed.

Piers Morgan: What was it you were smirking about? Moser: I was actually laughing... A recently founded settler colony, Israel, which was founded in living memory... ranting at an Iranian, saying that his country is fake, Iran, one of the most ancient countries in the world.

JUST IN: 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 The head of Mossad just admitted that Israel was behind the protests in Iran. Told you so. Mossad was literally posting online during the protests that they were in the field. The U.S. also admitted that the currency collapse that preceded the protests was intentionally done by them. Almost everything mainstream media and politicians tell you about Iran is a lie.

May those who live, work or holiday on top of this have nightmares about what lies beneath them. May they imagine the cries of the dying and may it keep them awake at night.
The Gaza Strip, Israel are bulldozing it, pouring sand over all the bodies then building on top of it. While the world does nothing.

PROTESTERS NOW RELEASED ON BAIL The @ukhomeoffice stated yesterday that “The proscription of Palestine Action does not affect lawful protest in support of the Palestinian cause.” But hundreds were given bail conditions today not to attend any protests in support of Palestine.

1/4 Water-shedding is no longer a warning. It is happening in Gauteng. Families in Johannesburg and Tshwane are going days without water as supply is restricted and throttled to protect dangerously low reservoirs. And the latest figures show just how serious this is. Watch 👇

"It's everywhere.. except for @FoxNews" well yes, it's not really a news channel though, it's Trump's biggest baddest propaganda arm @Poynter
This woman who got thrown out of Trump rally is the conscience of the world. Protect her at all costs. They may be high. Do it anyway.

A #Touching Moment. They lived together for 7 years. SocialWorker malfeasance in #Harrow #Pretoria #Bronkhorstspruit #Joburg tore them apart. #Dorah hears #Perlucia's voice &reaches out to touch her much-loved sister &reassure herself that it is really her

We used to receive 2ndhand children's toys from Wivenhoe in the UK to give to squattercamp children in SAfrica for Christmas. But every single item rugbyball, soccerball, tennisball, doll, teddy, had a different customs code so RedTape prevents even kindness

Same humans "Different conflicts" tosh @WilfredFrost - the UK media coverage of #Israel's beyond-evil mass murder of young children, doctors, nurses, paramedics in #Palestine and in #Lebanon is deeply biased, partisan. Is everyone on their payroll?

17 years ago we started putting these three littlies through a series of reconstructive surgeries. They've all finished high school now but the level of #African #burns injury is not decreasing. We need researchers & #interns to take the battle forward
