Nothing against SpaceX: Promising company, solid tech, and intriguing enough business model. There's a lot to be excited about there. But this IPO is absolute trash, and anyone with half a brain (and an iota of integrity) knows it.
A contrast of two leaders. One holding a bowl and ready to sell out his people for pennies another ones champion for his people. The first one wears Kaunda suit and present himself as the champion of panafricanism.
President Cyril Ramaphosa: On Ebola, South Africa has made a contribution of five million dollars to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (AUCDC).

So, collapse your emotions, good or bad about the 2 presidents. This is a masterclass in strategic communications by Cyril Ramaphosa. He doesn't mention Ruto or his decision to bend to the USA on Ebola. He doesn't criticize the decision but instead, expertly demonstrates a better strategy deployed by RSA. He doesn't need to say "We are concerned that Kenya blah blah blah." But with Ruto standing right there he gives case studies of South Africa's pan African response to Ebola - financial investment, sharing expertise and must importantly, protecting those on African soil from the pandemic. The opposite of what Kenya is doing. And he highlighted this contrast emphatically by focusing on what RSA is doing. Nice example for a strategic comms lecturer to use. How do you expose a disagreement without saying "You are wrong and I disapprove of your methods." Nice.
