I do not know why Gayton McKenzie speaks so confidently about things he clearly does not understand. It is embarrassing when a cabinet minister appears unaware of how diplomatic passports work. A diplomatic passport is not reserved exclusively for diplomats, ambassadors or presidents. Around the world, governments have often issued diplomatic passports to individuals who have brought distinction, honour and international recognition to their countries. Outstanding athletes, artists, musicians, cultural icons, business leaders and other distinguished citizens have, on occasion, been granted diplomatic passports or equivalent travel privileges in recognition of their contributions to the nation. In the case of Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan, the Somali government confirmed that it issued him a diplomatic passport to facilitate his travel to the FIFA World Cup after he became one of Africa’s most celebrated referees and was named CAF Men’s Referee of the Year for 2025. Somali officials have publicly stated that the passport was issued because of his historic achievement and to assist him in representing Somalia on the global stage. Artan became the first Somali ever selected to officiate at a FIFA World Cup and has been widely recognised as one of Africa’s top match officials. His achievements have put Somalia on the international football map and inspired millions of young Africans. What is worrying is not that Gayton McKenzie got it wrong. Everyone makes mistakes. What is worrying is that he chose to speak with such certainty about a subject he clearly had not taken the time to understand. Ministers have a responsibility to be informed before making public pronouncements, particularly on matters involving diplomacy and international affairs. A little research would have shown him that diplomatic passports are sometimes awarded as a national honour and a practical tool to assist distinguished citizens representing their countries abroad. That is not unique to Somalia, and it is certainly not unique to Africa. Diplomatic passports have been issued to many people who are not politicians or career diplomats. For example, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines, football stars Didier Drogba of Ivory Coast and Samuel Eto’o of Cameroon, musician Youssou N’Dour of Senegal, long-distance running icon Haile Gebrselassie of Ethiopia, and now Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan have all been granted diplomatic passports or diplomatic status by their governments. The suggestion that only politicians or diplomats can be issued diplomatic passports is therefore incorrect. I have noticed a certain interesting trend with Gayton McKenzie. Most of the time when the American government makes a mistake, he comes out to defend it. I wonder why he does that. From the issue of visas to the political standoff between South Africa and the United States, he has consistently appeared to side with America, even in instances where many believe it is wrong. It is a pattern that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

@AmukelaniMoyani @JacintaNgobese @NalediChirwa @psbushiri_ u comparing apples & oranges. We come far with Naledi, decades ago , wen she led student movements. Please.

@PhakelaMthakath Government needs to deal with these people faster, the image of SA is getting ruined faster than we thot.

@daddyhope I love PSG , I love Hakimi , so my boy has to win

@AdvoBarryRoux Citizens must stop harassing people in the streets. Let Police & DHA handle illegal immigration.

@SkosanaLeo @AfricaisBlack Please wake up. Tribalism is a cancer.

@sandileswana @ZizinjaAbelungu You are correct human rights are inherent.

@YamiakaJones The Irony is that MKP the liberation struggle movement survived and operated outside South Africa when it was banned during the apartheid.MKP was hiding in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, etc.

@AfricaisBlack I've been waiting for Zuma to make this mistake. I think I screamed the loudest foor him to publicly take a stance on the illegal immigration issue. I was hoping he would expose himself as the fraud he is. I'm fully behind March & March💯. Zuma mustn't use it to secure votes

A textbook study in populist opportunism and ideological flip flopping. In Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, Jacob Zuma claims his greatest wish is to dismantle colonial borders and unite African people fooling Ibrahim Traore. Back home 🇿🇦, his party officially endorses xenophobic vigilantes who enforce those exact colonial borders through street violence, assaults, and forced store closures. To top it off, Zuma himself stokes the fire in isiZulu scapegoating informal traders. His followers, who love to scream "flip-flopper" at opponents are completely silent because the hypocrisy suits their agenda.

👏🏽 Guys: Credit Where it's Due📍 Shout out to the EFF Youth Command for launching free Grade 12 Mathematics study guides and online classes for learners across South Africa. Whether you support the EFF or not, this is the kind of competition South African politics needs competing over who can educate more children, not who can insult each other the loudest and steal the most😩 After more than three decades of democracy, it's surprising that this kind of nationwide academic initiative wasn't pioneered much earlier. Too often, politics led by @MYANC has been dominated by scandals, corruption headlines and endless promises, while education has remained one of the country's biggest challenges. If politicians want votes, let them compete in classrooms not just at shouting in parliament 👏🏽📚

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: During Mexico vs South Africa, the referee had to keep the players waiting during the cooling break because FOX was still on a commercial break. The match eventually resumed while FOX was still showing advertisements. These cooling breaks are not related to player health, but are instead used to accommodate commercials. — @Romain_Molina

Once Israel successfully frames South Africa as a xenophobic state where African migrants are routinely attacked, it will exploit that narrative by staging false‑flag incidents targeting Jews. The intended script would be straightforward: “South Africa’s hostility toward fellow Africans has escalated into violence against Jews, who are being accused of genocide in Gaza.” Israel presents itself as the protector of Jews worldwide and has demonstrated a willingness to act militarily or otherwise. By emboldening xenophobic actors here, we inadvertently play into the hands of a powerful adversary. The failure of government to clamp down on these vigilante groups poses a serious national security risk. State security is passive and sleeping on the job. This is deeply disturbing. Political tolerance that is driven by short‑term electoral calculations has allowed dangerous and unaccountable actors to operate with impunity. These morons are further inflicting long‑term reputational and strategic damage to the country. The state needs to act decisively to neutralise these threats and restore the rule of law.
