Meanwhile, a Russian outlet has been dismantled after findings of propaganda and dissemination of anti-Ukraine narratives. Also, South Africa’s election is happening TODAY after 30 years of the same leadership. There is much to look forward to, and as May draws to a close, we hope your month was as productive as the rest of the world’s. Tune in next week as we kick off the summer pledge drive to help fund FSTV through the hot months ahead.

South Africa gears up for its first election in 30 years, drawing significant attention from global right-wing forces, which closely monitors the potential outcomes. This heightened interest is partly due to South Africa's outspoken stance on the ongoing genocide in Gaza, positioning the nation as a prominent voice in international humanitarian and geopolitical discussions. The global forces are keen to understand how the election results might influence South Africa's foreign policy and its role on the global stage.
