The South African president has been the subject of international ridicule. There are significant issues of inequality, poverty, and discrimination, concerning the treatment of white minorities in her own country.
The Palestinians are Arab people from the Arabian region.The Israelis have been in Israel since 3000 years. This ongoing conflict has no direct connection to South Africa.
US diplomats have disrespected African governments and countries multiple times. They insert themselves in national politics, drive around to attend national political opposition rallies and so on.
When will they realise that Arrogance is an attempt to hide a inferiority complex-many of our ministers suffer from it – get some help.

Why don't our President send Gayton McKenzie Minister of Sport and Culture to become South African Ambassador to America, he will do a better job than Rasool.
The President of South Africa should not allow all his Ministers to speak out as they wish, their scripts should go through his office first, he should fire them if they don't at hear, and replace them with younger candidates probably in their 40 ties.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
