South Africa, future of the West 🇿🇦

🇿🇦🇺🇸 U.S. Ambassador to South Africa on X: Great to see Afrikaner leaders from the Solidarity Movement, AfriForum, Solidarity, SAAI, NEASA, and Freedom Front Plus. We discussed how the U.S. government’s focus on the community can contribute to a safer and more prosperous South Africa. 📝 Kallie Kriel on X: The Solidarity Movement, AfriForum, and Solidariteit, personally presented our proposals on how the dispute between the United States and the South African government could be resolved to the US Ambassador during our visit to the US Embassy, where we also discussed them with him. This follows several months of providing input to both governments as part of our efforts to find solutions that serve the interests of all parties. Sanctions against South Africa would harm everyone in the country. For this reason, we visited Washington last year in an effort to help prevent these measures in the interest of the country. Our proposals will promote progress that benefits everyone in South Africa, while also ensuring that important issues such as the threat to property rights, rural safety, other issues of contention, and several other challenges that specifically affect Afrikaners and other minorities receive the attention they deserve. For obvious reasons, no further details can be provided at this stage regarding the discussions that are taking place. 📎 https://x.com/USAmbRSA/status/2072925651091300728

🇿🇦 More than 900 arrested during South Africa’s antimigrant protests South African police have arrested more than 900 people during nationwide antimigrant protests that were mostly peaceful but at times turned violent with shops looted and one person shot dead. The demonstrations on Tuesday were organised by a coalition of more than 20 civil society groups, including the March and March movement. They were called to mark an unofficial “deadline” for undocumented migrants to leave the country. Of 120 marches held across South Africa, 108 were peaceful while 12 saw police intervention, Deputy National Police Commissioner Tebello Mosikili said at a news conference on Wednesday. Mosikili stated that reasons for the arrests ranged from public violence and robbery to immigration violations. The Western Cape recorded the highest volume with 215 arrests, followed closely by the Eastern Cape with 208. In Johannesburg’s Alexandra township, police confirmed one person was shot dead late on Tuesday during looting of foreign-owned informal corner shops, known locally as spaza shops. Soldiers were also dispatched to Johannesburg’s inner city Hillbrow neighbourhood after a shooting that injured two people, including a 17-year-old. In the coastal city of Durban, thousands of protesters marched chanting “Abahambe!” (“They must go!”) https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/2/more-than-900-arrested-during-south-africas-antimigrant-protests

The government is struggling to do a lot of things. However, its progressing at unrelenting pace to implement digital ID and a central payment system. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/government/655382-digital-ids-are-coming-to-south-africa-heres-what-comes-after.html

"Cyril Ramaphosa must go," banner says as marchers walk through downtown Johannesburg live on CNN. One South African protester who is married to a Congolese man told me why she's on streets: "We're tired of being given drugs," she claims

Alexandra residents are burning tires and Marching to the Mall 🇿🇦🙆‍♂️ Imagine whats going to happen when the Sun goes down

The marchers have now stopped in Hillbrow. Some among the crowd are throwing stones at windows of the block of flats nearby where they've stopped. Others are saying they need to forcefully gain entry into the flats and remove foreign nationals.
