“Jacob Zuma and Thabo Mbeki were like twin brothers in exile, they dressed in the same Cuban shirts as well in the trenches. Then they came home, and there was money and power, the problem started when Thabo Mbeki didn’t want Jacob Zuma to be his deputy president of the country.” - Dr. Mathews Phosa launching his Witness To Power book at @ULvarsity 🇿🇦
The funniest contrast is the tone.
Xi was talking about bilateral relations, global turbulence, cooperation, confrontation, and the future of humanity.
Trump was basically saying:
“It’s an honor to be your friend.”
“You are a great leader.”
“I only say the truth.”
“The children were beautiful.”
One was conducting diplomacy.
The other sounded like he finally got a private dinner with his political crush.

Who would have thought that Sindiso Magaqa would wake up one morning and decide to open a case against the ANC mayor who was stealing government money by abandoning unfinished projects?
