New New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani invoked Nelson Mandela and South Africa’s Freedom Charter in his inauguration speech to frame his vision of an inclusive city, saying New York belongs to all who live in it and not to a privileged few.

🇿🇦🇺🇸 South Africa's head of public diplomacy, Clayson Monyela, supports the idea of South Africa acquiring nuclear weapons to protect itself from the United States.

📎 Clayson Monyela

📝 South Africa voluntarily dismantled its six nuclear devices by the time they signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1991. It's also a party to the Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty.

📝 🇿🇦 ☢️ Darren Olivier on X:

"Many in South Africa have put their hope in BRICS as a source of protection. It is not, and never will be, just as the G7 & G20 are not military alliances. Indeed, in this new order it’s will be as likely that Russia, China, or another country could seek to overthrow a SAn govt."

"Believing that Russia would not seek to set up a coup through its deniable groups like Wagner, as it has done elsewhere on the continent, once it decided it furthered its interests just because of past friendships is naïveté, for instance."

"Now it faces, like every other small power, a world in which neither Washington, Moscow, nor Beijing feel themselves constrained in any way in the use of their power."

"I expect nuclear proliferation to skyrocket in the next decade. As will defence spending, as lesser powers including South Africa belatedly realise that they are no longer protected by the UN Charter. How this plays out will differ by region."
