Give us money, next year it will be give us money! No more. Some countries are incapable without charity and Africa leads the List.
These Leaders are so meek, humble, & gracious with the Devils, why?

EU hypocrisy is showing
Trump's absence improves any gathering.
For Americans: trump should have come and approached South Africa about the problems they see. But also this guy just says things that makes everyone happy. Commenting about The strike about Gender Based Violence in South Africa , he has known about this for years, it’s nothing new. I don’t agree with Trump not coming to RSA as solutions only come about through discussion and negotiation, but I do understand why waste your time on a Yes man , that only addresses a situation when it’s an issue of significance. He acts like gender based violence has just popped out of nowhere it’s been a problem for a long time , it’s the same way he acted when he met with trump in America. No backbone , it’s like watching a student going to the headmasters office , can’t say anything back just say yes
Meanwhile genocide is ongoing 😂
Nothing will come out of this apart from a holiday with free food and accommodation for the politicians .
The problem was never overdependence on Russia for energy. It is the overdependence on arrogance , false sense of superiority & spinelessness against playground bully USA that has caused problems for Europe!!!
That was an interesting chump card. 😳😳
If you come to really really think about it…Trump has the bravery and weakness of a mad man all at once. The majority of the USA saw in him a Learder mmmh and he toys with their little feelings….
Trump must not waste his time with fourth world country , leave the poor that they suffer themselves and close the US Helping hands
EU the enemy of the people!
I see two very very corrupt people speaking
SA means nothing to the world economy, the entire GDP to the world from 52 countries is 4%!!! Africa means nothing to world growth and that's a fact.
again they cut
What does ramaphosa ever do that brings real value to the nation except pose for cameras
IGNORANCE AND RACISM IS EXPENSIVE, Trump 😮
Trump is (NOT) suppose to even be in that White House like that with 34 convicted Felonies. So, therefore, with that alone being said, Trump is an illegal U.S President from the get go, and Congress knows that Trump is (NOT) suppose to be in that White House. And if the people had some kind of say so 🤷 Trump would have NEVER been allowed to be in that White House like that, PERIOD!!!
Nevertheless, with Trump absence at the Africa G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, just shows his incompetence. He is really a scumbag, and he is a disgrace to the country of the United States. He doesn't know how to go over there to the Africa G20 Summit, and have open dialogue with African Leaders. He doesn't know how to have intellect with African Leaders, and other World Leaders..He doesn't know how to attend the Africa G20 Summit and try to have a discussion to solve the issues of the World. He's just sinply unfit to be a U.S. President, PERIOD!!! And he has just been EXPOSED of his Weaknesses to the World 🌎.
It has come to my attention that pea brained people think hosting g20 benefits alot directly, well it doesn't and everyone knows that, this is only BOOSTING south Africa's image even more on the national level as a BIG GLOBAL PLAYER. 😏
They just came to tick their name on the register . Meet friends . Talk some nonsense on climate change . Take the next flight home .
Trump is too busy making money getting peed on by a Saudi Prince
Ih now colonisers are ok ? Now the useless jealous racists want more money . Why are they not asking their blek racists brothers for money ? Voetsek racists
Trump is just rapist and joker nothing else….whole world laughing on America because of trump policies….world are more stronger without america…..the south africa have balls to counter the fullish president of America….
Solutions dont require conversation.
Ramaphosa is antisemitic.
Excellent Job well Done South Africa the Great INTELLEGENTIA 🇿🇦🎉 what a Beautiful Summit. Absolute and Steadfast….. never have Seen such A Beautiful Staging and Presentation….Oh South Africa 🇿🇦💐…..THE GENTLE GIANT OF THE WORLD & HUMANITY. YOUR INTELLIGENCE & MATURE EXECUTION IS LIKE NO OTHER. YOU ARE SPECIAL, YOU ARE A REAL FORCE ⚡ TO BEHOLD…THE REAL DEAL 🤝…..OH SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦
The hijack of the G20 script by the ANC was written by the UN and the UK for their puppet, Ramaposer to execute.The narcissism coupled with the low IQ arrogance of Ramaphosa is yet another nail on his coffin
Ursula von der Leyen is still spreading her verbal cancer.
USA has always been bad news. For a nation to complain about foreign influence they are the masters, poking their noses into anything that isn’t American. It’s no wonder they are more despised than the Russians.
South Africa ❤❤❤🎉🎉

Money wasted
the eu is still going on about rules based order, lol
The brics 5…all terrorist regimes!!! All wolfs in sheep's clothing!!!
South Africas poleticians keep on trying to portray themselves as some sort of moral humanitarian survivors..victors against the evils of the west and winners against some sort of self invented delusion. They keep trying to show the world that everything in SA is absolutely fantastic , despite overwhelming evidence that its most certainly not…to the point that the denial is coming off as being rediculous now. Every week more and more corruption , crime and lies are being exposed..yet they continue to put on some sort of role , like a theatre performance …much to the joys of their supporters. With the supported media , they continue to influence the general public into the perception that they are moving forward , in the publics best interests….only for the public to be let down for years at a time. The amounts of money spent on entertainment , corruption etc could of improved the lives of most South Africans years ago….and as long as the focus the publics attention to matters like Trump and Afriforum…they will continue to steal money , right under the radar
South Africa will allow its farmers to be murdered. DO NOT send that country aid after. Let them starve.
Mass murder (genocide) is a core theme of left wingism, which is why they deny any mention of it or attack and slander the people who bring it up. Left wing ideology revolves around the disenfranchisement and murder of white people. This is central to all left wingers and the way these vile fiends think. If you ever confused how a left winger might be so evil, such as why there is such a blatant two tier justice system, racial taxes, etc. It all falls back on this. They are nothing but walking bags of pure racial hatred, envy, jealousy and entitlement for things that are way out of their league to claim. They want what White people made, and of course, they will always destroy it, because they can't maintain modernity, much less make anything themselves.
And the world has one question for you as president of south Africa, what have you done with all the taxes that south Africans have paid to help develop their country, where did this all go, hope not into your secret pocket, accounts to make you rich to retire, just saying
These colonizers mad cause they can’t keep colonized land they stole and raped aboriginals for
People defending the current SA president after his Trump response need to confront facts, not vibes.
This isn’t about personalities — it’s about outcomes after 30 years of ANC rule:
• Unemployment: ~33% overall. Youth unemployment ~60%. That’s one of the worst in the world.
• Economic growth: GDP per person is lower today than it was in 2007. That’s nearly two lost decades.
• Electricity: Load-shedding didn’t exist at scale pre-2008. Under the ANC it became so bad it cut national growth by ~1–2% per year at its worst.
• State capture & corruption: Tens of billions stolen through Eskom, Transnet, Prasa and procurement fraud. This isn’t opinion — it’s court-documented.
• Poverty & inequality: SA remains one of the most unequal countries on Earth, despite 30 years of “transformation” rhetoric.
• Infrastructure collapse: Ports, rail, water systems, roads — all in measurable decline vs the early 2000s.
• Violent crime: Among the highest murder and violent crime rates globally.
And politically?
For the first time since 1994, the ANC lost its national majority in 2024. That alone tells you what ordinary South Africans think of the results.
You can defend the president’s tone toward Trump if you like — but you cannot defend 30 years of collapsing services, lost growth, mass unemployment, and state-capture corruption.
This is not a sanctions problem.
Not a colonialism problem.
Not a Trump problem.
It’s a governance problem.
If the ANC wants respect on the world stage, it has to first deliver at home.
