Patta lies
That is nonsense
you are fake news
Consequences for a racist Gov
Good,
He was elected to clean up the mess left by the last administration and the news media.
This kinda makes him a little racist
People in general have a bad habit of believing what they want to believe and denying the truth. Reports like this one is proof that the media still believes it can lie and lie and lie and social engineer whenever it wants.
Thank you Mr. Trump. Can’t believe this is the “news” it’s just lies by old Deborah
Best thing to ever happen!.

The money goes into the pockets of the ANC corrupt politicians. We need the money here to help our homeless veterans
Oliver thambo once said “A corrupt ANC will be far worse than apartheid,”
And the 142 race laws against white people, how is this racist democracy supposed to work
The ANC openly steal every cent they can get their hands on. We may as well have just sent our tax dollars directly to their personal bank accounts in Dubai.
White Africans BUILT the country.
Under apartheid Ativan people FLOODED to SA to get jobs. They couldn’t vote. 🗳️ So what. If I considered moving to China or Saudi Arabia I would make that decision factoring in the fact that I couldn’t vote. That’s my decision as a migrant.
Now they FLEE and the country is DYING

Typical leftwing lies from the media. We all know what happened to white farmers in Zimbabwe and the same thing is now taking place in S.A. Applause to Mr Trump for taking a stand for these forgotten and deliberately ignored people.
The real insult is that Africa doesn’t need aid—it needs economic freedom. If African nations had full control over their resources, trade, and finances, they could generate their own wealth without foreign interference. Western powers know this, which is why they keep offering “aid” instead of letting Africa truly rise.
Because it’s not really about helping—it’s about control. Western nations and institutions like the IMF and World Bank use aid as a tool to keep Africa dependent, rather than self-sufficient. If Africa truly developed its own industries, controlled its own resources, and united economically, it wouldn’t need aid in the first place. But that would mean less profit and power for the West.
Aid often comes with strings attached—countries receiving aid are pressured to follow policies that benefit the donor nations, like privatizing industries, opening up markets to foreign companies, or taking on debts they can never repay. This creates a cycle where African countries are forced to rely on outside help instead of developing their own economies.

We should offer the West Cape region of South Africa a chance to become a Territory of the United States
MAGA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Ms. Patta…in which South Africa do you live??? You reading bull and you know it…
Why are we sending money to SA? They can take care of themselves. We are funding EVERY country but OUR OWN 🤬
They are stealing land from owners. That is an issue. SA has enough money to manage their OWN issues.
So, HOW IS ELON STILL ALLOWED SECURITY CLEARANCE??????
