There is absolutely nothing sinister about the USA refusing to subsidize an economy that actively punishes citizens based on their skin colour.
Washington is merely aligning its trade and diplomatic ties with basic principles of merit, property rights, and commercial freedom.
If Pretoria chooses to prioritize 19th-century racial ideology over modern economic survival in 2026, they cannot act shocked when the rest of the world decides to walk away.
It isn't victimization, it is consequence.
Cyril Ramaphosa ordered the police to murder 34 mine workers because they were demanding to be paid good.
Today the same Cyril Ramaphosa is destroying AGOA to place 100 000 South Africans out of jobs
I’m really sorry to hear that the government you voted for and kept in power for 31 years has filled your taps with untreated water and making you ill.
SA should learn from Europe. The trend seems to be as follows:
1) Weak, leftist leadership.
2) Protests by the local woke community in solidarity with the terrorists.
3) Stage two protests where the terrorists actually travel over and join in.
4) “Asylum seekers and refugees” move in by their thousands and are given free access to the country’s local social systems and benefits.
5) These same asylum seekers and refugees start protesting because the free stuff is not good enough for them.
6) Cities burn.
Good luck SA, it’s coming your way and I recon you already are on step 4.
I can't wait for this man to go. Our country deserves better. South Africans are poorer than they were when he took office. Dismal economic growth, rising unemployment and shocking murder rates under his presidency.
