being South African is so funny sometimes. When soap dramas do not have enough drama you watch the Parliaments state of the nation adress.

The sadness and despair in those eyes...
There are no innocent soldiers in iof, including the women. I've seen female soldiers laughing and dancing at the misery of Palestinian people and doing heinous acts just like their male counterparts.
Just in case I haven't been explicitly clear on this
This blog supports PALESTINE
If you are a:
zionist
apartheid apologist
white liberal settler
genocide denier
someone who considers themselves neutral
have the AUDACITY to suggest a "two-state solution"
Not-so-kindly fuck off. If anyone supports Israel after their joke of a presentation today, I genuinely and truly believe you have the comprehension, intelligence and moral sense of right and wrong comparable to a fucking toddler and even that is an insult to toddlers.
Hell is hot for the oppressors and everyone who aids them and I wish nothing but the worse for them.
and they were on the right side of history
Signs that someone is affiliated with Khamas: -They say Hamas! -They like watermelon! -They condemn Israel when they commit crimes! -They don't like genocide! -They think killing children is bad! -They believe that Palestinians are human beings and deserve basic rights!
KING FR 🗣‼️💥🔥👑
Nelson Mandela was in USA's terror watchlist until 2018. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn't actually take murica's opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they're actually fighting for the freedom of their country.
That's why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.
Anyways as Nelson Mandela said
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉
as I watched the oral delivery this crossed my mind. I didn’t have this exact words but i did think how strange in a good way it is that South Africans donned the attire of empire and it’s rules and came with knowledge, professionalism, expertise, integrity and justice, and used the structures of global western order and slam dunked it (for me, while the verdict will tell us the health of international humanitarian law, the victory was in the compelling case SA showed). A black man in dreads, a brown woman with her brown girl nose, proud and clear and here to fuck shit up. And our officials donning keffiyehs and rainbow nation scarves. A side of the court of all races and colours while on the other side… the symbolism of all of it will be talked about for generations . *chef’s kiss*

The best and worst banks in South Africa – according to customers.
Cape Town was on the verge of running out of water. The South African city of 3.7 million people had suffered years of drought. But after nearly running dry earlier this year, the reservoirs are now rising thanks to rain, conservation efforts, and engineering fixes.
The city’s largest reservoir—Theewaterskloof—holds 40 percent of Cape Town’s water storage capacity, so it's a good barometer for the amount of water available. Natural-color images, captured by Landsat 8, show the change in water levels at Theewaterskloof between July 22, 2017, and July 9, 2018.
