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.
