I have covered @MarkJCarney for years. Now he has his own electoral mandate (and has made history) - one of the best economists in the world. Perfectly suited to this fight. Calm. Charming. Deliberate and very clever. The US will regret this fight.

By destroying #USAID and terminating African HIV projects, the #Trump administration's racism is in full view: African lives mean nothing to these fake 'Christians'.

This is incredibly serious. There goes Agoa. But if we were going to be blacklisted by America, at least it was because we tried to stop a genocide. Mandela would be proud.🇿🇦 whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

I am a white South African. I did not grow up here but I still had white priviledge. Took it for granted. I don’t feel guilty about it: it was just there. But I can acknowledge it, & work to do something for those who did not have this advantage. For starters, I reject…/2

PEPFAR is one of the most successful global health programs ever. It provides HIV treatment for over 20 million people. And now it faces a funding delay of up to 6 months. Without access to treatment, HIV can rebound in less than a month. This is self-defeating stupidity.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 This is an incredible case of journalism malpractice by @axios. The headline reads like it was a mutual agreement to decline the debate. It wasn't. HARRIS SAID YES BUT TRUMP REFUSED TO DEBATE. Say that @mikeallen & @JimVandeHei. Good grief.

In light of the new evidence linking Tiger Brands to the listeriosis outbreak (dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-0…), should Tiger Brands settle the lawsuit rather than defend it in court?
