I’ve lived for twenty years with a ban on my writing by Media24. The company destroyed black jazz history, photography and a piece on Iranian Faridah Zariv’s “Hand of Fatima” exhibition at the Bo Kaap. For my trouble I was locked up, subjected to a racist religious inquisition. (All documented here).

To finally see justice arriving for the people of Iran, like most Iranians in my own country, I can only congratulate Marco Rubio and Donald Trump for making the right call and hope that the IRGC Pretoria regime will meet a similar fate —  at very least the antisecular theocrats that have installed themselves as the final arbiters of Jewish and Iranian identity will be, G-d willing, removed from power.
