I repeat. Every child in South Africa should end the day having dinner with Mom and Dad. With Mom and Dad. Not with Gogo only. This thing of breeding children out of wedlock, & sending them to Gogos to raise them is disgraceful and harms our society. As I wait for attacks.

I think we’ve severely damaged our relationship with Israel. I have no idea how we can rekindle. Terrorists slaughter hundreds of their citizens & then we take them to court for retaliating & defending themselves. If you did something like that to me I wouldn’t forgive you. Ever.

Don’t fall for propaganda. South Africa has opened a case against Israel because it supports Hamas terrorists. Israel didn’t just wake up in the morning and went to fight in Gaza - they went there because of October 7 attacks by Hamas. Hamas triggered the whole thing.
