2023-03-19 22:15:04 Admin Comment | New followers might be surprised by some placements on this channel (almost all placements are seen as controversial anyway), but always good to remember:
— On this channel we support the right of self-determination of Afrikaners & Anglo-Africans as well as for the Zulus against the Kleptocratic Leviathan that the ANC-led South African Regime is.

Given that, don't expect any coverage over SA events to be neutral here.
