A diplomatic storm is brewing as former U.S. President Donald Trump declares that South Africa no longer deserves a seat at the G20, just days before Johannesburg hosts leaders from the world’s biggest economies. Pretoria has hit back sharply, dismissing Trump’s comments as “imperialist interference” and reaffirming confidence in hosting a successful summit. Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya insists South Africa’s leadership in global economic dialogue remains strong. Economist Professor Patrick Bond of the University of Johannesburg joins News Central to analyse Trump’s remarks, South Africa’s record during its G20 presidency, and what this tension means for the future of global multilateralism.

You blacks are sellouts. Highlight Trump. He said whites only for amc. Fk g 2o and stop selling us out. You are black get it.
Trump is not running South Africa and he should remember that he was voted to run USA only 😢😂😅
Thanks for deleting my messages you are the cowards you are
Trump's hatred towards Africans is not uniting Africans and Europeans in South Africa but rather causing more racial tensions.
There is not even one white individual in South Africa who was asked or forced out of his land with or without compensation. It's all lies
When thousands of black people are murdered because of high crime in the country it's not a big deal but when 2 white people are murdered due to the same crimes then it's white genocide.
South Africa has over 4 million white South Africans living relatively in peace and harmony with, Black South Africans and Indian South Africans. And that's the most number of white people in an African country. Now do you think what Donald Trump is doing will unite South Africans? I don't think so, it will actually cause more racial tensions.
SA is the worst liars corrupters in the world ( ANC / EFF and MK is the problem)
Trump is correct .
Thanks Mr Trump
He is president of America not SA

This trump of you he is correct on your unworking mind
Trump is nothing to tell us
The ANC’s “fame to claim” is to be the so-called “excellent” negotiators, but in actual fact the ANC is so arrogant and childish i.e. if USA place restrictions on trade on SA then the ANC will place trade restrictions on the USA, if the USA proposed to remove SA from the G20, then the ANC will remove the USA from the G20. The ANC destroyed SA and still not realising that SA is economically and morally bankrupted by the ANC’s ideology and still so entrenched in their own egocentricity, that the ANC did not figure out that they need everybody to assist in fixing the mess the ANC has created the last 31 years! Hostility breeds resistance and is not beneficial for the one who is in trouble. “When the river runs dry, it is the bridges you kept that carry you across.”
🎉🎉😢Trump is Bully and his ego proved his dumb?The same people he claim are being killed enjoy,freedom of our resources more than the beneficiary,of colonial and apartheid?Is good that u won't made it to S.A Moshoeshoe is waiting
😢😢🎉So why will U.S be given that vibe being member?Any era needed to be investigated, because myb he has farm shares
Lol he probably isn't healthy enough to survive the trip or weather.
I wonder if South Africa don’t care about the 70 000 indirect jobs the USA created over there or the trade surplus South Africa enjoys over the past 30 years. 60 billion US? Get your policies to be inclusive for all South Africans or face this potential loss in U S dollars. ANC is not thinking straight after 30 years…. The golden eggs are eaten, now they want to kill the goose who lay those golden eggs.
