This was Palestine’s first ever flag bearer at the Olympics, Majed Abu Maraheel, in Atlanta ā€˜96. Abu Maraheel was killed in Gaza last month. Unable to receive adequate care at Gaza’s destroyed hospitals, he died of kidney failure. These killings don’t figure in the death toll.

This is based on cherry-picked data. The exact opposite is true in the aggregate. DA regained white voters nationally and remained stable with black voters in the aggregate. Sorry, facts are facts and this is article is not factual in the aggregate.

Martin Wittenberg passed away yesterday. He was in the UDF leadership in Pietermaritzburg. He & other UDF leaders were detained under the State of Emergency by the special branch who were trying to disrupt peace talks with Inkatha.

Enforced disappearance is a serious human rights violation. On this day of the Commemoration of Victims of Enforced Disappearance, we join our fellow UN agencies to fight for human rights and stand up for the rights of the disappeared.

1. It is not appropriate for the removed former Public Protector to comment on the work of her successor. Looks like sour grapes. 2. EFF is saying if we don’t like your findings we won’t support a salary increase. Thats undermining the independence of the PP!

This morning, I chatted with South Africa's former Deputy Minister of Justice, John Jeffery, at the official opening of the ILGA World #ILGA2024 Conference. Jeffery touched on the significance of the right to protest, as we witnessed some at the conference opening.

Here is a puzzle. People in sub-Saharan Africa tend to be *twice* as religious as the rest of the world, yet countries in the region provide *half* as much state support for religion. Why? Hint: It isn't about state capacity.
