Double standards? Renaldo Gouws on Gayton's K-word 'pass'
Axed DA MP Renaldo Gouws has reacted to news that Gayton McKenzie will not be probed over his old social media posts, which included the K-word, as they did not fall within the timeframe of him being in public office. Last year, the outspoken YouTuber courted controversy over using the racial slur. However, Gouws was shown the door by an internal party committee. Gayton McKenzie's K-word bombshell tweets have led to many political parties calling for his resignation as minister. However, Parliament spokesperson Moloto Mothapo stated that an ethics committee could not probe the posts – dated between 2013 – 2017 – as the Patriotic Alliance leader was not yet an MP at the time. Unlike Renaldo Gouws, Gayton McKenzie's K-word tweet hasn't had any repercussions – for now. Images via X He said: 'In terms of Item 4(2)(a) of the code, read with Item 4(3)(f), conduct committed before a person becomes an MP does not fall within the scope of the code. 'Accordingly, no complaint has been opened by the registrar, and both parties were informed of this in writing earlier today. There is, therefore, no competent complaint before the ethics committee.' Meanwhile, the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) is set to make a statement on the On social media, many South Africans have questioned how Renaldo Gouws was held accountable for using the K-word, while Gayton McKenzie was not. Setting the record straight, Gouws claimed that the DA took action against him, and not parliament. He posted on X: 'It was the DA that terminated my membership with the party after 13 years due to social media and political pressure. Touching on the YouTube clips in which he said the K-word, he continued: 'The video in question was uploaded in 2010, three years before I joined the DA. The DA was also aware of the video, as I declared it to them. It was considered dealt with as early as 2013. He added: 'Unfortunately, the Federal Executive disagreed with the Federal Legal Commission's (FLC) findings, which stated I should remain as a Member of Parliament. The Fedex decided to overturn the FLC decision. A disgruntled Renaldo Gouws added, 'Almost a year later, and the DA still refuses to share the minutes of that meeting with me so that I can know why they decided to overrule the findings by the FLC. So much for a 'transparent' political party'. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

I want a three-way with Putin and Zelensky, says Trump on pending meeting
US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was planning a second meeting with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin soon after Friday's Alaska summit – this time with Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky included. Trump is due to sit down with Putin in Anchorage on Friday, the first meeting between the Russian leader and a sitting US president since 2021. 'If the first one goes okay, we'll have a quick second one,' he told reporters. 'I would like to do it almost immediately, and we'll have a quick second meeting between president Putin and president Zelensky and myself, if they'd like to have me there.' The high-stakes talks come with Trump seeking to broker an end to Russia's nearly three-and-a-half year war in Ukraine, and Zelensky and his European allies have urged the Republican to push for a ceasefire. A stepped-up Russian offensive, and the fact Zelensky has not been invited to the Anchorage meeting Friday, have heightened fears that Trump and Putin could strike a deal that forces painful concessions on Ukraine. Trump said Russia would face 'very severe consequences' if Putin did not agree to end the war after Friday's meeting, without elaborating. The US leader promised dozens of times during his 2024 election campaign to end the war on his first day in office but has made scant progress towards brokering a peace deal. He threatened 'secondary sanctions' on Russia's trading partners over its invasion of Ukraine but his deadline for action came and went last week with no action announced. Trump told reporters he'd had a 'very good call' with European leaders including Zelensky as he took questions from reporters at an arts event at Washington's Kennedy Center. 'I would rate it at 10. You know – very, very friendly,' he said. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Online and unafraid: LGBTQIA+ Africans push back against colonial-era hate
In numerous African countries, including Ghana (above) and Zimbabwe, colonial-era anti-homosexuality laws continue to do great harm to LGBTQIA+ communities. In a push against these inherited laws and attitudes, queer Africans are utilising social media as a tool to foster greater acceptance. Image: Carl Collison Golden Moyo* is a lay preacher in rural Zimbabwe. In 2018, after decades of hiding his sexual orientation, Moyo came out to his family and friends and his parish as gay. Attitudes to sexual and gender minorities in Zimbabwe are highly conservative. Those found guilty of consensual same-sex sexual activity could face up to one years imprisonment and a fine. The southern African country's anti-homosexuality law was first introduced by the British during its colonisation of Zimbabwe. According to Human Dignity Trust, the country has noted 'consistent reports of discrimination and violence being committed against LGBTQIA+ people in recent years, including assault, sexual violence, harassment, blackmail, and the denial of basic rights and services'. Moyo's decision has not been without consequence. News of his sexuality soon 'went viral… (with) people deliberating upon it', he says. There was also a protest at the church's headquarters. Says Moyo: 'They were saying things like this is against our culture. This is against our religion. This is against our laws…They say it is strange. It is not part of us and did not originate from our own people. (That) it's a Western thing. When the noise started, (with) people protesting, you really need people who stand up to say, 'No, this thing is not Western'. It's our own thing. It has always been in our midst.' For Moyo, as with an increasing number of LGBTQIA+ persons across the country, social media is an essential tool in a continued push for a break from the narrative that homosexuality - and queerness, more broadly - is a Western import. Moyo's social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X (formerly, Twitter) has a combined following of just under 10 000 people. He also uses Clubhouse 'for the (weekly) LGBTQIA+ fellowship'. Moyo says he first realised the power of social media during the Covid-19 pandemic. 'We could not gather as Christians, so we used to worship via social media. I realised that this is a thing that can quickly spread the message to others…I thought of it as a way that my voice can also be heard.' Tanatswa Gumbo, communications officer for the country's largest queer rights organisation, Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe, says LGBTQIA+ people 'definitely have become more visible on social media'. Image: Supplied Tanatswa Gumbo, communications officer for the country's largest queer rights organisation, Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe (GALZ), says LGBTQIA+ people 'definitely have become more visible on social media'. 'LGBTQIA+ persons, particularly activists, have really been visible and have really become more outspoken in terms of challenging conservative attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ people. Especially the claims of homosexuality being un-African; not being Christian,' says Gumbo. Research conducted by Princess Sibanda and Gibson Ncube found that, for queer Zimbabweans, online 'spaces represent a powerful act of resistance, a way for queer Zimbabweans to claim their right to exist and express themselves…. It's like they're sending love letters to the world, saying that queer love is just as important and beautiful as any other kind of love.' Zimbabwe is, of course, only one of numerous African states to have inherited homophobic laws and attitudes as a result of colonisation. The end of colonial rule has, however, seen some countries (such as Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya and Namibia) place added restrictions on the rights of LGBTQIA+ persons. Ghana is one such country. The West African state inherited its first anti-homosexuality law during British rule. Section 104 of the country's Criminal Code of 1960 - seen largely as 'an after-effect of the colonial era' - carries with it a sentence of up to three years' imprisonment for men found guilty of consensual same-sex relations. Ghana's latest anti-LGBT law, the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill (commonly known as the Anti-LGBT Bill), is particularly draconian and has been described as 'brutal, harsh, and unjust'. In 2021, Angel Maxine, Ghana's only openly transgender musician and queer rights activist, penned a song, titled Kill the Bill, in protest against the Anti-LGBT Bill. In addition to using her music as a tool for awareness-raising, Maxine also relies heavily on social media to try and effect change. 'If social media was available…during the colonial days, I'm sure a lot of people would have been educated by now, and we would (not be in) this era that we are in,' Maxine says, in reference to the increasing queerphobic rhetoric sweeping across the continent. 'Because even though some of us are on social media, we are still living in our colonial days; still carrying the colonial thinking. But there are also people who are using social media who have broken free from this colonialism. In Africa, we have made use of social media positively to educate people.' Maxine is now living in Berlin, having fled Ghana as a result of persecution based on her gender identity and her queer rights activism. The distance from her home country makes her rely on social media even more. 'Sometimes when the grounds become very hard and difficult for us to meet in person, social media is where we can meet. I am currently in Germany, but I'm communicating with people in Ghana through social media.' Alex Kofi Donkor, the executive director of LGBT Rights Ghana, says LGBTQIA+ Ghanaians are creating social media content that challenges the narrative that queerness is a Western import. Image: Supplied Alex Kofi Donkor is the founder and executive director of LGBT Rights Ghana. 'I would say most of the mobilisation and most of the engagement at the initial stages (of establishing LGBT Rights Ghana)] was through social media. Even as of now, most of the mobilisation is done via various social media platforms,' says Donkor. Aside from activists utilising social media for policy and attitude reforms, there are also individual members of Ghana's LGBTQIA+ communities who, Donkor says, are 'putting content out there that challenges the status quo and challenges so many thoughts that Ghanaians have around LGBTQIA+ issues…that it's a Western import'. As could be expected, given the repressive contexts in which this content is created, there are downsides to proudly sharing pro-LGBTQIA+ content. A recent example of this was when a queer South African undertook the social media campaign, #ShowGhanaLove. Ostensibly meant as a show of solidarity with queer Ghanaians, the campaign had the opposite effect, as anti-queer politicians used the resultant public outrage to add pressure on the Ghanaian government to expedite the passing of the Anti-LGBT Bill. Says Donkor: 'People tend to react quickly when (LGBTQIA+ content) is openly or obviously put out there. People tend to react in a very negative way.' Ghanaian human rights activist, Angel Maxine, sees social media as an integral tool in raising awareness. Image: Eemmax Experience
