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.
I’m putting together a compilation video of statements made by ANC ministers about South Africans and will be sharing it across social media platforms. I also plan to run targeted ads aimed at young voters during the election week on TikTok, Facebook, YouTube. These people are too comfortable in their positions and out of touch with the realities of South Africans.

In discussing possible solutions...what is the role of countries where migrants come from (Sending countries), role of countries that provide a safe passage (Transit countries) & how do we assist receiving countries like South Africa in managing the challenges & impact of dealing with undocumented individuals given the glaring complexities.
