South Africa's 'cradle of humankind' caves reopen to public. A skeleton dubbed "Little Foot", discovered in the Sterkfontein caves in the 1990s, is the most complete specimen of an early human ancestor yet discovered, estimated to be between 1.5 and 3.7 million years old

Sebastiaan Jooste is just one of many anonymous accounts operating with the aim of destabilising South Africa while pushing for a separatist state. Kudos to News24 for the excellent investigative work.

THREAD: As India launches strikes against Pakistan tonight, misinformation is rapidly spreading online. I'll fact-check viral falsehoods in this thread. This video, viewed over 160,000 times, shows Israeli air strikes on Gaza in October 2023. It's unrelated to tonight's strikes.

“Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried,” Donald Trump said during today’s meeting with South Africa’s president. The image he was holding up, however, is from the Democratic Republic of Congo. barrons.com/news/trump-dis…

US President Donald Trump brandished a stack of articles that he claimed documented a "genocide" taking place against white people in South Africa. But one was a blog post featuring a photo from the Democratic Republic of Congo u.afp.com/ScCr
