@NGRHC_RSA@realFFK Even when it's institutionalized a lie remains a lie. There was no such intervention from the President or the Presidency and there will never be. Read our constitution and laws and familiarize yourself with the SABC editorial code. Stop disgracing yourself and your country.
The SABC is a public broadcaster. The President carries no legal or political mandate to interfere with its operations or intervene in it's editorial processes. Frankly, your approach in this regard on a minor operational issue which you misunderstood was grossly inappropriate.
Your Excellency, you refused to speak to @Sophie_Mokoena who would have cleared the misunderstanding with you. I would encourage you, that as you start your tenure in South Africa you meet with with SABC to forge a mutually beneficial, respectful and professional relationship.
In South Africa the President does not intervene on operational matters at the public broadcasters, neither did he intervene on your behalf. He simply pointed you to @Sophie_Mokoena who was the most appropriate person to raise your greviance with.
Your Excellency, I deeply regret that I have to address you through a public platform. However, now that you have falsely referenced the President on a matter he has no involvement in, I'm duty bound to clarify your misrepresentation of facts.
Not sure who briefed you Excellency but you were live on @SABCNews. Also....this should not be the platform for engagement whenever you wanna raise issues (big or small). Best wishes for the rest of your tour of duty and welcome to 🇿🇦.
His Excellency Olufemi Adewumi Fani-Kayode, formally presents Letter of Credence to President Cyril Ramaphosa.

This is a terrible start of your tour of duty, Mr Ambassador.
If you raised your concerns directly with the President and he assured you it will be fixed, what’s the purpose of this tweet?
You’re stirring up unnecessary tension between yourself and South Africa.
They are of the view that the DA partnership in the GNU is why people voted ActionSA, UDM, Mkhonto Wesizwe 😂 which is total bull shit. Their real fear is losing Johannesburg for good in a similar fashion to Cape Town.

Malaysia Athletics scooped up SA’s leading sprint coach, Thabo Matebedi in July 2026. He’s now out there tasked with leading that country’s sprint programme through the 2026 Asian Games and 2027 SEA Games and getting their team qualified for LA 2028.
Who did he coach? Our international superstars Sinesipho Dambile, Bayanda Walaza and Mukona Manavhela, and previously Gift Leotlela.
One of the reasons stated for leaving: our athletics federations and fraternity are a mess. Common denominators. Spot patterns. Follow the stories. 🍎
