  1. What SA affirmative action impoverishment of white people? What about 20 000 murders a year unresolved? What about electricity and water infrastructure collapse? Health services collapse?

  2. No we dont share your thoughts, you caused this on your own dont pull us into your web its not the population of Sourh Africa that took Istael to ICJ its the ANC and she in particular

  3. Naledi pandor was the terrorist that changed out quality education left by apartheid and destroyed it, now our education is not recognized in the world anymore, ANC are terrorists in all they greedy pig's

  4. Although I agree on many levels,these are the current stats in SouthAfrica. The socio-economic stagnation and dysfunctional criminal justice institutions have contributed to a 53% escalation in the rate. In terms of the raw figures, the number of murders increased by 77%. In the 2022/23 financial year, 27 494 murders were recorded, up from 15 554 in 2011/12. 14 Nov 2023. Is this a silent genocide on the citizens of South Africa ?

  5. Pandor going begging changed your tune Russia n China Venezuela Korea Cuba Iraq Afganistan n Syria are hated if u dont do it the U S way sanctions yes sir no sir otherwise sanctions 😂😂😂

  6. Because of course passing such legislation will cause South Africa to come running back to the USA. Please if anything such a stupid political stunt does nothing other than irritate people. If it did get passed all it will do is have 2 effects. 1. To prove to the whole world ( including US allies) that America has a “ if you are not with us you are against U.S. policy” 2. To drive South Africa into the hands of the Chinese and Russians. U.S. business investments and goods in South Africa have diminished massively over the past 30 years to the point that they are almost inconsequential. It looks to me like the U.S. is desperately trying to turn back the clock to the 1800’s where America lived in “ splendid isolation “. Well if that’s what America wants then who are we to stop them. If I was America I would rather focus on the disaster that is their current system . The two people who will be standing for President will be octogenarians. The one who is odds on favourite to win is hugely divisive and has a list of corruption charges against him. From a South African to Americans .. we have lived through 2 terms of a divisive criminal President .. first term was bad … but second term … he will do anything to avoid prosecution and I mean anything .. it’s called State Capture… God Bless America .. the way you are acting you are going to need all the blessings you can get!

  7. Geared up in full combat atire, boots and rifle, I kicked the dust in the eyes of my fellow troops and came running first place past our corporal and luitenand…wow, what a achievement….NO , I was wrong. I proofed I had no leadership, that I will easily forget those left behind . A valuable lesson that I only came to understand in my late 30s… get back to those who you left behind. Go uplift them to your standard…or is south africa only for the intellectuals????

  8. This disgusting woman is a disgrace to us here in South Africa.
    Life here in South Africa has become much more intolerable with the mostly unlearned individuals of the ANC trying but failing to run the country.

  9. So according to this disgusting corrupt foreign minister, Israel has to accept casual raids over it's borders and the mas killing and raping of citizens here and there, just like it happans in south africa. No thanks, keep you shyte to yourself.

  10. Lying through your teeth Naledi. You ANC buggers ruin everything, you kill your own citizens so that you can have a fat bank account and ofcourse you always have to pull the effing apartheid card out. Pathetic.

  11. Much I don't like some of its foreign policies, South Africa as country should not be bulldozed into doing what the USA feels is right for them. No one influences the US foreign policy.

  12. Pandor go home you and your ANC Cadres are just making things worse for all us Christians in South Africa who, by the war do not support your cause against Israel. You want proof, call a referendum and you will see what happens. worry about the 69 people murdered every day in SA, the breakdown of all Infrastructure gems handed you on a plate and now stuffed. Prove me worng again. After 34 years of ANC all you can do is still blame the apartheid and use the race card. Challange offered.
