Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

South Africa is preparing for a ‘fallout’, says state security minister (businesstech.co.za)

Also according to CII Radio, their description was more overt - Due to the lawsuit levied by South Africa against Shitrael, there is now a genuine terror threat present with the SAFM Naledi Pandor cited as a primary target. Hot takes include "South Africa was paid by Iran, the SAFM is an ISIS sympathizer" and the crowd favourite "everyone in South Africa is Hamas". My predictions of some coked-out Nazi on The Jerusalem Post chanting "Gaza today, Gauteng tomorrow" as a war cry, are becoming truer by the day.

May every settler and diaper trooper find out exactly why "Johannesburg" rhymes with "Jahannam", inshallah

With the Red Sea shut down, something like 20% of Israel's trade has to go around the cape. Surely they wouldn't be dumb enough to force SA to blockade them too

There's 4,000 kilometers of open waterway between South Africa and Antarctica. Do we like, mobilize all of the penguins to Nelson Mandela Bay and train them to form a 4,000 kilometer long chain along the Atlantic-Indian Ocean like the penguins from Madagascar suddenly getting radicalized...

noot noot

Lets see, there was that big Transnet coal train collision. There was that huge fire in Pringle Bay that was truly bad. Haven't heard much else, but i'm sure i missed a lot.

I suppose those could be normal accidents, but i've been more suspicious of these kind of events ever since the ICJ ruling. I know they can fuck up a country while making it look like a series of accidents.
