Zimbabwe: Mnangagwa Continues ‘Scoring Own Goals’
2 hours ago
President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration continues presenting “itself in the worst possible light at home and internationally”, casting any pretence of implementing reforms to the wind, with hopes for a rebounding economy continuing to fade.
According to Ringisai Chikohomero, a research consultant at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) based in Pretoria, South Africa, Mnangagwa had failed to live up to his mantra of a “new dispensation”.

Vigilante Justice: Necklacing Returns to South Africa
Jared Taylor, American Renaissance, May 25, 2021
On May 19, vigilantes killed eight suspected criminals in the Johannesburg suburb of Zandspruit, some by necklacing. The killers put car tires around the victims, filled them with gasoline and set them on fire. This was the ANC’s preferred method of execution when it was fighting apartheid. It may take as long as 20 minutes to die.
This incident has been reported in South Africa, but so far as we can tell, no foreign media have taken notice of it. A number of gruesome cell phone videos have circulated privately in South Africa. Here is one of a preliminary beating the vigilantes gave a victim before killing him. We have also included a still image from a video of the executions. Note the tires piled up in the background.
