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.
BREAKING: Israel's Defense Minister Katz declares Israel "will not withdraw from South Lebanon, even if the US demands it, we will not listen to the US," with Netanyahu, Katz, and IDF Chief also issuing a joint statement that the IDF "will continue to act decisively" in Lebanon, contradicting Trump‘s claims of the ceasefire holding and the stop of attacks.
Israel is currently bombing southern Lebanon, with Israeli drones over Beirut in the last few hours.
There is no ceasefire and there will be no final US-Iran deal.
JUST IN: TURKEY’S ERDOGAN ON ISRAEL:
“We know that Israel cannot tolerate even the slightest possibility of peace.
Looking at the statements they have made over the last ten days, it becomes clear that what we are facing is not the reasoning of a state, but rather a group of radicals that has lost its mind.
The situation is so dire that everyone both in government and in opposition is accusing one another of not killing enough people.
There is a constant race to outdo each other in genocidal rhetoric.”

@ZANewsFlash They must dump them In Bryanston, Sandton, Midrand, Fourways, Atholl…I mean there’s lot of spaces around Jozi. I want to see academics, politicians, middle class and upper class becoming humanitarians that they’re forcing everyone else to be in their neighbourhoods…
@ZANewsFlash@Seni_WaMboni South African government is showing citizens the middle finger. They started by dumping these immigrants Newlands, and now is lenasia .
@ZANewsFlash@GovernmentZA@HomeAffairsSA according to the process and protocol you need to engage SAns in their communities when you bring your foreigners and Community must consent, you are clearly bullying us because you think we will give up
