Nonsense! The far right cooked up a fake case to deceive Trump — and he knows it’s just a tool to spread lies. There’s no “white genocide” or land grabs in SA. It’s pure propaganda.

Mozambique is in the midst of a civil war between impoverished people and the government. Where are UN, the European Union, the IMF, the World Bank, the African Union, SADC, and the so-called moral reserve to put an end to this situation? Complicity or collective cowardice?
I have been a victim of profiling by @MTNSouthAfrica because I am a foreigner. My application, submitted at MTN Cavendish, Cape Town, for a contract has been pending for over a month. It normally takes 48 hours to be approved. This is unacceptable and something must be done!
A must read!
