Which South Africans? You are a senator who pays attention to random social media commentary? What is the OFFICIAL position of the government of South Africa and what is the status quo? Do you know why SA's Health Minister had downplayed the US's PEPFAR withdrawal ANNOUNCEMENT?
Let me educate you. Motsoaledi is chilled because South Africa funds the majority its HIV/AIDS response itself. 74 -80% comes from SA. 17-21% from PEPFAR and 2-7% from Global Fund and other donors.
Meanwhile, Nigeria's government consistently spends well below the 15% of national budgets that AU countries committed to. You have poorly equipped hospitals and clinics, your system operates intermittently with devastating consequences for the poor. You are a popular case study at many global convenings that I moderate.
You have poor sanitation and have the highest malaria burden in the world. Never mind HIV/AIDS. You had poor federal -state coordination for Covid19. I know. I moderated a WHO-AFRICA Summit on this in 2022, in Togo. Your officials and experts were pouring their hearts out.
So shut your trap. Senator.

It's heartbreaking stuff! My question is, didn't these comrades know what they were getting themselves into - a family enterprise? Eish, man—this is so sad!

CNN's Anderson Cooper reports on how President Donald Trump has moved to not only admit but to expedite the processing of Afrikaners as refugees for alleged discrimination. At the same time, his administration has suspended all other refugee resettlement, including for people fleeing war and famine.
Some Afrikaners have been using and playing on fear to rally followers and make money for a long time. When unemployment rises and crime increases because of this Trump order, don't cry. Abusing peoples vulnerabilities for your personal gain caught up with you. You are no different to any other political party that uses propaganda to manipulate and bully people.

@CityofCT it is so frustrating to be logging calls for emergencies on water related matter for almost a week - water is leaking since Saturday on my meter and causing sinkhole on my driveway but you are concerned about water shortages. I’ve been calling daily. Ref 1021495224
@CityofCT So what happens when my driveway collapses due to being waterlogged - I have diligently followed process and my account in in credit but still no urgency in resolving this.
