Worth noting that ahead of the second round, Lula's campaign dramatically upped its counter-algorithmic and digital mobilization game. They (belatedly) woke up to what they were facing, and fought it head on.
Luis Inacio "Lula" da Silva won. Democracy won. Authoritarianism lost. Right wing authoritarian imperialism lost. But we in South Africa must be vigilant. The wave of online disinformation attacks employed in Brazil for years is now here, in full force.

Well said, Songezo! My goodness! I wish other political leaders could make similar statements. But unfortunately some of them benefit from the toxic rhetoric currently emanating from the USA

Young people deserve to see themselves in leadership because the future being shaped today belongs to them, too. At RISE Mzansi, creating space for young leaders is a priority, reflected in our 37-year-old mayoral candidate, @LukhonaMnguni, who represents a generation ready to take responsibility for the future they want to build. #RISEMzansi #LGE2026 #WeNeedNewLeaders @SABCNews @PalesaMokholo

1. There is no “halal replacement of food.” Halal certification of packaged food has been practised in South Africa for decades & is voluntary. All the “halal-certified” label means is that the food products meet Islamic dietary requirements. Nothing is added to the food.

This sponsored narrative from one, likely three, foreign governments seeking to sow religious discord in South Africa, cause destabilisation & spark violence. The Bell Pottinger Playbook: manufacture a controversy, amplify fear & turn communities against one another. A thread.
Islam is a minority religion population in South Africa. But why are they slowly but surely replacing our food with halal? What is really happening? Is this the take over we have been hearing about?

Do you stand by what you’ve said about Samora Machel commemorations? If not why haven’t you apologised?
