The President of South Africa is not in Chicago to “enjoy American freedom.” He is here to honour a man who stood with South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle at a time when the United States was still supporting the apartheid regime and those who enforced it.
He is here to honour a global icon revered by the very Black South Africans the apartheid state sought to crush and erase.
He is here to honour a leader who came to South Africa, who walked the dusty streets of our townships alongside our parents and grandparents, and who gave moral courage to a struggle the world once tried to ignore.
Ramaphosa is here to offer comfort and respect to @rep_jackson and the Jackson family who shared this extraordinary man with South Africa over many decades!
You do not get to impose your politics on our history. Not today!
President Ramaphosa will leave Chicago tomorrow and travel to Brazil on official business. You, meanwhile, can enjoy YOUR freedom to drop bombs across the world.
