You can never love our land & hate its people. You can not love the land resources & hate the rightful owners.What makes you think you can just enjoy alone what belongs to us all? Restore the heritage of SA to the people.All apartheid practices shall be set aside, in reality.

Girls must be more than the focus of our commitments β€” their voices, experiences and aspirations must help shape the solutions. When girls are heard, included and supported, we move closer to a future where every girl can thrive. #GirlsPartnershipPlatform #InvestInGirls #LNOB

PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA CONGRATULATES PRESIDENT LULA ON HIS RE-ELECTION President @CyrilRamaphosa has on behalf of the government and the people of South Africa extended his warm congratulations and well wishes to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on the occasion of his re-election for a historic fourth term. Brazil and South Africa maintain a close bilateral and strategic relationship founded on South-South cooperation, multilateralism and shared leadership within BRICS, IBSA, the G77+China and the G20. In March 2026, President Ramaphosa undertook a state visit to Brazil at the invitation of President Lula. The visit further enhanced the existing bilateral trade and political relationship. β€œOn behalf of the government and the people of South Africa I congratulate my dear brother and friend, President Lula and the people of Brazil. This victory will echo beyond the shores of Brazil. It is a victory for the global south and progressive forces throughout the world. We affirm our commitment to continue strengthening bilateral relations between our two countries and working closely together in all multilateral fora to forge a just and better world order underpinned by solidarity and adherence to international law”, says President Ramaphosa. ISSUED BY THE PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

FEDUSA’S 8TH NATIONAL CONGRESS The Federation of Unions of South Africa (FEDUSA) convened its 8th National Congress at the Radisson Hotel & Convention Centre, O.R. Tambo Airport, bringing together trade union leaders and delegates to deliberate on the future of organised labour and the advancement of workers’ interests. The Congress marks a significant moment in the Federation’s journey, including the election of new leadership to steer FEDUSA over the next five years and strengthen its commitment to protecting workers’ rights, advancing dignity, promoting decent work and championing social justice. Guided by the theme, β€œReclaiming and Organising the Future: Workers’ Dignity, Power, and Justice through Conscious Unionism in an Age of Crisis,” the Congress reaffirmed the importance of unity, collective action and a strong, representative labour movement. Together, we continue to organise, advocate and advance the interests of workers across South Africa. #FEDUSA8thNationalCongress #FEDUSA #WorkersRights #TradeUnionLeadership #DecentWork #SocialJustice

Adding to the already existing Government Youth investment pathways…… no stakeholder should relax until young people experience all these opportunities. Youth matter for their prosperity and of our country as well. I stand with young people always. Blessed day friends!
