The US Government’s warning that it had received information that terrorists could be planning an attack targeting Sandton's economic hub, follows a decision in March by the US Treasury to sanction four ISIS financial facilitators in the country.

Discovery's head office is situated in the heart of Sandton.

It listed Farhad Hoomer, Siraaj Miller, Abdella Hussein Abadigga and Peter Charles Mbanga adding that ISIS members and associates in South Africa were playing a role in facilitating the transfer of funds from the top of the ISIS hierarchy to branches across Africa. Vedant Patel is the State Department’s Principal Deputy spokesperson: “The Department overall continues to adjust and make assessments on its posture at our various embassies and consulates throughout the world in line with local security, the environment and other factors such as public health. In the case of Nigeria yesterday. The department did approve the authorized departure, which is the technical term and the situation for family members and non-emergency US government officials in Abuja.

Thanks gor the warning

But USA is financing and arming ISIS. We all know they are the biggest terrorism sponsor in the world

It is USA planning it

It is a concern because ISIS is operating in Northen Mozambique and they enter from Tanzania. The US intelligence is far more reliable than our country which has borders that people can come through. Our border entrances are a joke people can just come through

So the USA is trying to turn us into Syria

The US itself is planning to attack Sandton. If there are any terrorists in the world, it would be the US Government. They are even terrorists to themselves, they make as if they are on everyone's side but they are not. Don't be fooled.

Are we expected to believe that in 2022, Isis has mobilised in South Africa for the purpose of attacking the LGBTQ community during their pride parade because ... Reasons!? Why not the US embassy that's in Sandton, it's the pride parade that's got them frothing at the mouth?

CyrilRamaphosa what did you do with StateSecurityRS ? You put the agency under the presidency and it’s been downhill from there. Your insistence on allowing our borders to be porous is concerning. HomeAffairsSA does not have your firm support. While SAHRCommission is a joke.
