The Western Cape and Cape Town, in particular, have the biggest slums in Africa, and black migration in South Africa is partly due to the struggle of black and colored people to find jobs, get promotions, and start businesses there because of apartheid-era type racism. The DA government's reduction in building houses in Cape Town has led to a huge shortage of accommodation. Meanwhile, international irregularly documented migrants from countries like Israel and Ukraine are driving up property prices in the Cape, forcing blacks and coloreds to migrate to ANC-run cities and provinces for better economic opportunities and affordable housing. Blacks and coloreds in other provinces risk impoverishment and homelessness if they allow the DA to expand its governance beyond Cape Town. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the South African media is largely owned by former apartheid-era companies, there's a lot of propaganda propelling the DA to control more provinces despite its failure to serve black people in the Western Cape. Sadly, many black and colored South Africans lack the resources to travel to the Western Cape to witness firsthand the abject poverty that forces people into drug dealing, extortion, and gangsterism, contributing to Cape Town's highest murder and gangsterism rates in Africa.

MAINSTREAM MEDIA CALLED IT RECKLESS, SOUTH AFRICA CALLS IT TRADITION๐Ÿšจ Two Airlink Embraers roared over DHL Stadium before the Springboks beat the All Blacks yesterday and what happened? The internet exploded with unbelievable keyboard warrior analysis, โ€œtoo low, dangerous, could have been catastrophicโ€ and a whole lot more. What all these โ€œcriticsโ€ and keyboard analysts donโ€™t know or perhaps have forgotten, South African pilots have been doing this for decades. In 1995 at Ellis Park, Captain Laurie Kay flew โ€œLebomboโ€, a Boeing 747 low over a packed World Cup final stadium. Remember what was painted on the underwings and belly of the Jumbo jet? โ€œGOOD LUCK BOKKEโ€ In Cape Town yesterday was the same tradition, not a stunt cooked up for wows, views and clicks but to give the Bokke power and good luck but letโ€™s see what these โ€œcriticsโ€ skipped: โ–ช๏ธSA Civil Aviation Authority approved โ–ช๏ธThree senior captains in each cockpit โ–ช๏ธPlanned altitude and speed of 150 knots planned โ–ช๏ธFlight data was inside the approved limits โ–ช๏ธPilots are trained in some of the worldโ€™s harshest weather conditions, Cape southeaster winds, highveld thunderstorms, mountain waves and short African runways โ–ช๏ธThe 40ft clearance over the roof was tight and spectacular but not illegal and certainly without improvisation A packed stadium with fireworks doing their magic and two crews who executed a brief that takes planning most keyboard experts will never see is called skill, itโ€™s also called pride. If your first instinct is panic instead of precision, you are not watching aviation, you are watching a camera angle which can be misleading. Letโ€™s praise the crews for this spectacular show and always remember Laurie Kay, the fine top class pilot who started this. Stop treating excellence like a crime guys, itโ€™s not.

ORANIA: THE WHITES-ONLY TOWN IN SOUTH AFRICA In 2024, South Africans were among the more than 3-billion people who went to the polls in more than 60 countries in national elections. For South Africa, the elections had historical significance - they came at a time when the country was marking three decades since the end of apartheid. When apartheid ended in 1994, many Black South Africans had high expectations about what the future held for them after centuries of social and economic exclusion. Decades later, the African National Congress (ANC), which has governed the country since 1994, is facing accusations of not doing enough to dismantle apartheid-era socio-economic structures and injustices. Nothing exemplifies this better than the existence of Orania, a Whites-only town in the country's Northern Cape province. The town has been a source of tension since its establishment in the early '90s during the last days of apartheid. The town's founders and residents claim its purpose is to preserve the culture and identity of the Afrikaner people, White South Africans of mostly Dutch, French and German descent. However, many people think the town and its policy of not allowing non-White residents is nothing but a racist endeavour to maintain some vestiges of the apartheid system. The town's residents insist that its existence is protected by Article 235 of the South African constitution, which guarantees self-determination. However, many have argued that the cited part of the constitution does not, in fact, permit people of a particular religious or cultural group to live in a secluded place away from other South Africans. In 2000, the Northern Cape High Court adjourned 'sine die' (without a further hearing date) after Orania's proponents challenged attempts by the government to incorporate the town into the nearby municipal authority. African Stream was shown around Orania by some of the locals, who shared their opinions about their community with us. We'd love to hear yours as well in the replies.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ผโšก๏ธโ€“ Iranian F-5 pilot who bombed US Buehring base in Kuwait: We were flying at an extremely, extremely low altitude. From a flight-standard perspective, the standard training altitude is around 500 feet, but we were below 50 feet. We knew that Patriot systems were deployed in the area, and that this base had multi-layered air defense. Given Kuwaitโ€™s cooperation, they were protecting this base, and scrambled F-18s were monitoring it. Even though we knew AWACS aircraft were up there and surveillance/listening sites were active, the entire flight was conducted under complete radio silence. I should mention here that there were 2-3 ships, we were flying so low that we passed between 2 ships, and their decks were higher than us. In other words, the sailors were looking down at us from the deck. We passed through there, and thank God, entered Kuwaiti waters, and from there entered Kuwait itself. When we entered Kuwait, the high-voltage power lines suddenly became 10x times more numerous. Their refineries and forces were along our route, all of them were within our reach. We could have bombed them immediately without any problem. But our target was Camp Buehring. We carried out this route at very high speed and very low altitude. And then, when we reached the base, we bombed it successfully. Credits: Arya Yadegaar

THE FALL OF BARENTU ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡นโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ท On May 18, 2000, Ethiopian troops shattered Eritrean defenses and captured the strategic town of Barentu in western Eritrea. This was no minor skirmishโ€”Barentu was the keystone of enemy supply lines, and its fall sent Isaias Afewerki's army into full retreat. The Ethiopian offensive rolled forward with devastating efficiency, breaking the back of a regime that had spent two years raining shells on Ethiopian cities. THE 146 KILOMETERS โ˜๏ธ When the dust settled, Ethiopian forward units stood just 146 kilometers from Asmaraโ€”less than a day's march. The Eritrean capital lay effectively undefended; its military was shattered, its command in chaos. Total victoryโ€”the complete destruction of the Afewerki regimeโ€”was not a dream but a certainty. Then came the order that would haunt a generation: stop. Turn back. The ceasefire and subsequent Algiers Agreement froze the war just as Ethiopia was poised to end it forever. THE BETRAYAL For many Ethiopiansโ€”especially those who wore the uniform, which includes no less a person than Prime Minister Abiy himselfโ€”this was not peace. It was a betrayal of every soldier who had bled. The same brutal dictator in Asmara who started the war was allowed to survive, rebuild, and rule for another quarter-century. Our troops were called back because the compromised and treasonous political leadership of Meles Zenawi chose diplomacy over destiny. There will be no such foolishness next time. ๐Ÿค”
