Who knows.

But I'd say a group like the EFF has more chance of attacking a gay pride march in SA and they wouldn't let something like that screw up phuza Saturday, would they?

Having said that, I could be wrong. But yeah, first world problems.
Why would the EFF attack a pride March?

Quick! Someone tell the EFF that the Brackenfell oke has hidden that victory-beret somewhere in Sandton and that all EFF members are expected to find it!!
But they are the terrorists :unsure:

Oh well they're stupid enough to attack themselves I guess.

I don't now the protocol, but is it usual for an embassy to give out security alerts about their host country?

Do they tell our ' intelligence lot' first?

I would have thought their side tells our side, then our side tells us.
It creates panic and uncertainty
It also doesnt tell us anything, just stay away from Sandton and during month end

They put out advisories for citizens & staff resident in the host country.

They do share info with the host country.
It's then up to the host country to advise (or not) their own citizens

Why would they attack Clicks or H&M? And yet here we are...

My point was that of any groups violently attacking things, I can't think of one far-right "white" one with an open anti-LGB agenda. But as I said earlier, I could be wrong.

Yup.. I'd very much believe the Cia before I'd trust the hawks to have a fscking clue.

Let's see what happens we assume the Americans are legendary in intelligence and warfare but that's our Hollywood indoctrinated minds talking.

When the chips are down and SAPS/HAWKS are after you they will get you if they want.
