Correct! Shaka revolutionised the Zulu army by switching from assegai-style throwing spears to iklwa stabbing spears. Incidentally, the name comes from the sound the spear made when being withdrawn from the victim’s side. 🤢

I agree with this 100%.

And of course just to underline their ignorance, Zulus wouldn’t hurl iklwas, as they were short stabbing spears rather than throwing spears. But that would be the incorrect image these type of people would have.

South Africa coined the term “state capture” to refer oligarchs gaining control over a national government. The fact that #Musk is doing exactly that in the USA is somewhat ironic.

Closest to Nazi’s for those of us of a certain generation in SA were the AWB, who were actual Afrikaner Nazis; and, er, the Apartheid state. I’d say EM had plenty of material to inspire his fetid little fascist brain.

But it’s not chilling is it? It’s a ridiculous letter to send and no-one, least of all Keir Starmer KC, will be in the least bit intimidated by it.

Yeah, and when I was a kid I believed in Father Christmas.
