## Resource

South Africa’s government is fighting back against claims it’s isolated, calling out a deliberate misinformation campaign aimed at painting the country as a pariah—especially around anti-immigration protests. While the Presidency insists it’s still deeply engaged globally, citing President Ramaphosa’s trip to France, the March and March movement remains defiant, vowing to continue protesting those they say profit from illegal migration and crime. Despite government warnings against vigilantism, the movement, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal, is doubling down, aware of efforts to undermine them but undeterred. The tension between state diplomacy and grassroots activism shows this isn’t a debate fading anytime soon. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
