  1. Im glad to see someone in the useless political party called the ANC stood up to racist Trump but it was honestly dumb

    The ANC us already a joke its time for them to leave and the MK Jacob Zuma party to take over โค

    And people America isn't the only superpower there are 2 more superpowers we can go seek co operation ๐ŸŽ‰

  2. The USAID, was sponsoring NGOs , community workers' salaries , lab technicians and researches. If it went to somebody's pocket, it is the NGOs, Not the government. Then, PEPFAR accounts for 17% of the funding for HIV/ Aids services, TB, and Malaria research programs. All the ARVs from pharmaceutical companies are paid by the government. My concern is , or the question should be, were all these many internal NGOs registered and monitored for all these millions popped by foreign donors. There are many all over the country. Can they account for all the money that were funded to them, i think the answer will be it's too late to ask that question, because funding has been stopped. The funding contributed to a lot of services rendered and employment and lot of ethical research was done , eventhough some are stopped now. We are not the only African country; where funding was stopped, but we are the country were there's still high rates of this communicable diseases, because our neighboring countries are also benefitting from the services rendered to our people. "Health For All"
    Our government should now prioritize health, education and the infrastructure and stop renaming streets and increasing the public servants' purse, rather increase the budget for health , education and defence and stop all these wastages in renaming streets and down sizing the cabinet. SA , is a developing economy and is a small country, why have such over balloned cabinet with trillions of ministers, deputies and directors , CEOs. Comradeship and tenderpreneurs, politics of the stomach have killed our country. That time is over, because those who pay taxes are few , as compared to the 27 millions on social grants including illegal immigrants. Our economy will never grow and the challenges facing our country are too many to count, and our borders are porous. The SA government must stand up and smell the coffee. it's not okay . It's challenging more than anyone can see and observe. It's going to be more challenging than what we see now. Unless our government changes their strategies and start facing reality. There's no more money ; our debt is increasing and increasing, few people are paying taxes and majority of our people are on social grants. Something need to give.

  3. Only ignorant South Africans can celebrate mediocrity. 30 years in power and these paid ignorant crowd pleasers are still celebrating poor politics & corrupt ignorant politicians. Wake up South Africa.

  4. South Africa is a rising Global Superpower and the United States will not stop South Africa's rise on the Global Stage ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

  5. The ANC Government is a highly corrupt gang of thugs. Nothing more. We look forward to the ANC and EFF members get blacklisted everywhere and not allowed to travel to America at all! Sanction the thugs! Most South Africans think this Rasool – uhmm RASFOOL is just another corrupt racist thug.

  6. Why don't people realize, that's not something trump can do. That's not a thing the president can do. certain things he's getting away with with that's not under his job description. Again I'm going to point that out, they proved this when president Obama was in office. Multiple times!!

  7. They boogie away like its the second coming. Hope they realise Jesus is white lol. From the long road to freedom , to the short lane to sanctions. Persona non intellectulla

  8. I am a South African citizen and I think it is a shame to welcome back someone who did such damage to South Africa. I wonder how much this welcoming party cost the SA tax payer again??
    USA, please note, not all South Africans are this silly!

  9. WHAT A SHAME RSA ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ NO RESPECT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND STILL SINGING SONGS TO KILL THE BOER ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ WHAT A DISGRACE ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎRSA

  10. Reading through the comment section is evident that the world has gone crazy. When did we lose our moral compass? Why shouldn't Mr. Rasool get a hero's welcome for standing up for what's right!?
    I mean, we all know the orange man in the White House is crazy. We all know that since the Orange man got back into office, all the KKK, Proud Boys, Afriforum and Solidarity now have a voice, hatred and racism cannot be the order of the day. We cannot be going backward as the world.
