A massive scandal has just broken loose. AHH will remember the name Nalendi Pandor—the previous foreign minister of South Africa. We talked a little about her disappearing after she lost her seat in the previous elections. Well, she has surfaced. And now we will understand the “very bad things are happening in South Africa” that Donald Trump talked about, of course from his perspective and rightly or wrongly.

First, facts:
Without AGOA, the African Growth and Opportunity Act, there will be significant problems. So, this is a trade agreement with the US and has been with around 30 countries since around 2000. How popular will South Africa be in Africa if this trade agreement is canceled?
Second, what can Nalendi do all by herself to create those “very bad things” that piss of the US mightily?
There is currently no way in hell that South Africa can fight the US – they don’t have the smarts and it is like a mouse trying to fight a gorilla.

The question that certain people researched was: what are the BRICS countries really doing to support South Africa? One marshmallow comment from China – one kind comment and crickets. The rest are not saying a word. It seems that at least Russia and China know what has happened here. So, they don’t want to touch this. It looks like Cyril Ramaphosa quickly signed the expropriation without compensation to hide the real scandal which is part of what Trump is harping upon.

The real scandal is that Nalendi worked with Iran for money to cover some governmental debt quietly, while the exports under AGOA to the US and exports to Israel continued (not only coal, which we knew about). The second part of this scandal is that South Africa was paid off to start the case against Israel while happily exporting to Israel.

It seems Nalendi sat on two chairs and the government has been found out big time!. A while ago, there was a great need for government money in South Africa, and all of a sudden, the money was there, as if by magic. It is said it came from Iran as payment for starting the genocide case against Israel. Those who are digging into this cannot confirm (yet) that it was Iran on the other side of this trade. I caution it might not be but so far .. it looks like it.
So I just listened to a little clip of Pandor (local language). She blames the civil societies that are fighting the expropriation without compensation legislation. This is not only land, this is also businesses or companies or anything of value – even a vehicle that you might be driving along the road. And she said a bit too much. This is what she said .. If you cannot export your grapes to Israel, blame the civil societies and ask them for your money. If you cannot export your products to the US, it is the civil societies – go and ask them for your money.

So South Africa has continually traded with Israel, while being paid off to run the genocide case against them.

Thus, civil societies are pushed into the hands of the US. Delegations are being given a hearing, and they ask that if there are sanctions or further ‘punishment’, please punish the government, not the people. So far, the South African government cannot even get a hearing in the US—they are being totally ignored.

I cannot even tell how much harm this will cost. The case against Israel will just quietly fall apart and god knows who South Africa is going to trade with. Hatred against Iran is being expressed, and any willingness to at least countenance BRICS for 25% of the population is gone – they wanted a neutral state for South Africa. And that is just a start. The South African government wow .. they did not do BRICS any favors, they did not do their own people any favors – the only one that I can count, is that they did Israel a massive favor.

RT has just broken the story, of course not translating the words of Pandor in full. The comments however are direct .. So madam, if you have no proof, why make the accusation and why the conjecture? BTW so maybe the lady would answer this question. How much did Iran pay to the ANC to take Israel to the ICJ? And did you benefit in any way? https://www.rt.com/africa/613016-naledi-pandor-suggest-afriforum-mend-south-africa-us-ties/

That Delta flight that crashed in Toronto and ended up on his back basically – nobody killed that I heard of but of course injuries.

Far as I know Mr P is that this Ukraine specific meeting is supposed to take place after the Munich summit, and not as part of it.  I have not seen any professional source (excepting Trump and his trumpets) announcing it.  Perhaps there is something.  No, Russia was not invited to the Munich summit.

“[beautiful. I am getting optimistic too Amarynth. What a few days]”

You? hahaaaa ….  I am just clinging to hope!  At least over the past year and almost half, we learned to do that well!   There is a moment breaking loose here dear friend .. Oh what a feeling, dancing on the ceiling!

Yup. We agree – One or other chaos.

OK, there is a squatter camp in just about every town. The next one who tells me the ‘whites are rich’ is going to get a foot in the face.

Here is a video from inside the Afrikaner squatter camps in South Africa

The SA govt has implemented policies to strip these people of land and employment in the name of ‘social justice’

It is very seldom that we can get a clip of these situations as they are warned they will get killed if they advertise their circumstances.  Last time I was there, probably 15 years ago, I wanted to go and dig a vegetable garden for one of these camps, but I was told not to as it is hopeless. It gets stolen before a vegetable is even grown.

The cadres stealing here in this video, is from the EFF.  Economic Freedom Fighters.  They have this man in parliament.

His name is Julius Malema and he is the one who dances around with a machine gun at his political rallies, singing, Kill the farmer, Kill the Boer.  He has been taken to court for hatespeech a few times, but each time gets off somehow.  He is also the one that they interview at RT.  He has about a 4th grade education but someone gave him a special degree or something.

Now people say to me .. why do they not move?  Where to?  There is no right of return to any European country, and that is if they know which country they originally came from.  Dutch intermarried with French intermarried with Italian intermarried with Belgian .. these people integrated and they are Afrikaners.  They are now trying to arrange a status as a defined ethnic group.

Now Trump wants to get the ones with skills to move to the US.  These are the ones that support camps like these.    But these people are an ethnic group.  There are already videos out telling him that they do not want to move to the US, but if they can get authentication as a defined ethnic group, then they can improve their own circumstances.   There is also letters to Trump from some of the social support structures asking him please do not sanction – it is these people that will suffer.

I’ve tried DeepSeek but Qwen really blows them all away. I’ve used it for some images here .. so quick – and easy as pie. The first image that I did was amazing .. I did not train the thing too well because I needed to learn a little, but the basic was I asked for an image of “bad people sitting around a table”. This is what it churned out – less than 1 minute:

Anyways ..
