South Africa won’t be bullied, President Cyril Ramaphosa said after his government came under fire from his US counterpart Donald Trump’s administration.
The world is facing the rise of nationalism, protectionism, “the pursuit of narrow interests and the decline of common cause,” Ramaphosa said in his state-of-the-nation address in Cape Town on Thursday.

RACIST!
Oust this RACIST!

You are witnessing that after 30 years you are finally being held accountable for the mess you made. SA is no longer a child pointing fingers. SA is a grown man now. Responsible for its own actions.
Yet the rise of communism in South Africa is not mentioned. Interesting how communist propaganda uses the word democratic when there is no such thing in communism, authoritarianism, socialism, or totalitarianism. So, why are people allowing communism/socialism when it doesn't work and tried the world over and failed the world over.
Developing Country… fokol developing under the ANC. Please, please, stop talking kak!
I don’t want American money going to them.

Fraudster make more noise to distract, elicit sympathy, and ilicit fear and guilt when we feel they are worried about being found out.

Only one problem is government
I love all South Africans but I hate corruption, crime and everything that gets us down as a nation. The government must go!!!!
South Africa was a thriving economy, in spite of sanctions, when the ANC took over.
Now it is a "developing economy" according to this liar yet in reality the country is in junk status internationally.
The problem with Ramaphosa and his cronies is that they think something becomes true just because they say so.
How corrupt is the South African government?
Transparency International's 2024 Corruption Perceptions Index scored South Africa at 41 on a scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean"). When ranked by score, South Africa ranked 82nd among the 180 countries in the Index, where the country ranked first is perceived to have the most honest public sector.
Types of corruption in South Africa
edit
Although South Africa is subjected to various types of corruption, three notable forms are wasteful expenditure, state capture, and corruption related to or using Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) legislation. Recent state capture scandals involving South African politicians and the Gupta family have brought these types of corruption into the public spotlight. Petty corruption is another relevant issue affecting public services and day-to-day life in South Africa. Local municipalities have also been reported as significantly impacted by corruption with Corruption Watch describing them as amongst the most corrupt institutions in the country.[21] A 2022 report by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime has described the presence of organised crime as "an existential threat to South Africa’s democratic institutions, economy and people."[2
Johannesburg, South Africa’s economic hub, is falling apart. The state of the road, electricity, and water infrastructure is showing clear signs of collapse.
As the country’s largest city and primary economic hub, Johannesburg is home to over 5.5 million people and contributes nearly 16% of South Africa’s GDP.
The City is home to the headquarters of major corporations and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) and is a crucial centre for commerce, finance, and industry.
However, despite its importance, the city is crumbling due to mismanagement, corruption, and failing infrastructure.
This one doesn’t make sense! How can you claim to embrace resilience while playing with a lion’s tail? It’s a wild contradiction!
Excuse me. Developing economy? Since when? This economy once flourished.
The rand was stronger than the dollar.
Tell your children the truth, its only called a developing economy to get a free ride from the rest of the world.
