# Al vier kunstenaars wat sou optree in die voorprogram van Ed Sheeran se Noord-Amerikaanse toer, het onttrek uit solidariteit met die kletsrymer Macklemore, wat verwyder is nadat hy pro-Palestynse uitlatings gemaak het. Macklemore het tydens konserte in New Jersey ‘n vrye Palestina bepleit en beelde van die verwoesting in Gaza vertoon. Finneas, Aaron Rowe, […]
# Solidariteit sê dis tyd vir Suid-Afrika om rasgebaseerde beleidsmaatreëls te skrap – nie omdat Amerika dit vereis nie, maar omdat dit die regte ding is om te doen. Amerika het nuwe visumbeperkings aangekondig teen mense wat rasgebaseerde diskriminasie bevorder, geweld teen Afrikaners en ander minderheidsgroepe aanhits of onteiening sonder vergoeding moontlik maak. Woordvoerder Jaco […]
# Die Amerikaanse ambassadeur in Suid-Afrika, Leo Brent Bozell, sê die nuwe beleid oor visumbeperkings vir Suid-Afrikaners is die eerste stap in ‘n reeks maatreëls wat Amerika se vasberadenheid sal toon. Dis gemik op persone wat volgens Amerika verantwoordelik is vir die bevordering van rasgebaseerde diskriminasie, die aanhitsing van geweld teen Afrikaners en ander minderheidsgroepe, […]
# Solidarity says it’s time for South Africa to phase out its race-based policies, not because the US demands it, but because it’s the right thing to do. The US has announced new visa restrictions targeting those who promote race-based discrimination, incite violence against Afrikaners and other minority groups, or enable land confiscation without compensation. […]
# All four supporting acts for Ed Sheeran’s North American tour have withdrawn in solidarity with rapper Macklemore, who was dropped from the line-up after making pro-Palestinian comments on stage. Earlier this month, Macklemore called for a free Palestine and showed images of devastation in Gaza during two concerts in New Jersey. Finneas, Aaron Rowe, […]
# US ambassador to South Africa, Leo Brent Bozell, says the new visa restriction policy on South Africans is the first step in a series of escalatory measures that will show America’s firm resolve. The restrictions are targeting people America considers responsible for promoting race-based discrimination, inciting violence against Afrikaners and other minority groups, or […]
# Die Saoedi-geleide militêre koalisie sê hy gaan die nodige afskrikmaatreëls instel teen die Irans-gesteunde Jemeense rebellegroep, die Houthi’s. Dit volg nadat ʼn Houthi-hommeltuig gister aan die buitewyke van Islam se heiligste stad, Mekka, afgeskiet is. Dis die eerste keer dat die rebellegroep Mekka teiken sedert ʼn ballistiese missiel in 2017 onderskep is. Die koalisie […]
# Die waarnemende minister van Polisie, Firoz Cachalia, sê hy is verlig dat die strafregtelike aanklagte teen die geskorste nasionale polisiekommissaris, Fannie Masemola, teruggetrek is. Masemola is aangekla van oortredings van die Wet op Openbare Finansiële Bestuur. Dit hou verband met die omstrede Medicare24-tender van 228-miljoen-rand. Die nasionale direkteur van Openbare Vervolging, Andy Mothibi, het […]
# The Saudi-led military coalition says it will take necessary deterrent measures against the Iran-backed Yemeni rebel group, the Houthis. This comes after it shot down a Houthi drone yesterday on the outskirts of Islam’s holiest city, Mecca. This was the first time the rebel group targeted Mecca, since a ballistic missile attack was intercepted in […]
