Trump has doubled down on his lie that white South Africans are being oppressed, claiming that that he's missing the G20 because "policies on the extermination of people are unacceptable." Posting this again to refute this dangerous lie. anotherdayinparadisewithtomeaton.substack.com/p/the-imagin...
If you live somewhere other than in South Africa, and you’ve heard Donald Trump once again claim that Afrikaners are being violently persecuted in my country, here’s a brief explainer about what's really going on. (TLDR: It's a hustle.) anotherdayinparadisewithtomeaton.substack.com/p/the-imagin...

Ja, that's John van der Ruit. I'm Tom Eaton. I'm a different person.
I'm afraid you've confused me with someone else.
The white right and its sturmpodcasters claim that white people are disappearing because of a Great Replacement and 'white genocide'. For them, the truth behind the numbers is far too horrific to contemplate. My latest, free to read. anotherdayinparadisewithtomeaton.substack.com/p/the-curiou...

Hello Bethany! I'm delighted that you're enjoying it.
Packing my winter woolies for a reportedly chilly Joburg and looking forward to tomorrow night's launch of 'An Act of Murder'. If you're near Sandton, pull through to Exclusive Books at sixish and come and say hello.
Johannesburg! Arnold Prinsloo is coming home as we launch ‘An Act of Murder’ next Thursday in Sandton*, and it would be grand to see you there. I'll be chatting to the excellent Michelle Constant, so both you and I will be in safe hands.
* OK technically Arnold lives in Melville but close enough...
Surprised and delighted to discover that @news24southafrica.bsky.social has run an extract from 'An Act of Murder' today. So, if you want a little taster, here you go! www.news24.com/life/books/e...
I know they appreciate it greatly.
