So glad to see long time progressive Afrikaner journalist Max du Preez set the record straight. Worth reading if you want to understand why I am angry at how the US government is treating South Africa.
As a white Afrikaner, I can claim asylum in Trump’s America. What an absurdity | Max du Preez
We are not victims, there is no genocide. This rhetoric shows that the US administration doesn’t understand my thriving country, says Max du Preez, founding editor of the Vrye Weekblad newspaper

It is worth reading President Zelenskyy’s full statement. I can’t begin to describe the level of embarrassment and disgust I feel.

Don’t kid yourself. When the oligarchy owns the media (which they do) and then refuse to distribute anything that doesn’t align with the regressive regime in power, that is censorship, pure and simple, and in contravention of our constitutional rights.
