Government of South Africa notes the USA Executive Order

The government of South Africa has taken note of the latest executive order issued by President Trump. It is of great concern that the foundational premise of this order lacks factual accuracy and fails to recognize South Africa's profound and painful history of colonialism and apartheid.

We are concerned by what seems to be a campaign of misinformation and propaganda aimed at misrepresenting our great nation. It is disappointing to observe that such narratives seem to have found favour among decision-makers in the United States of America.

It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the US for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged, while vulnerable people in the US from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship.

We reiterate that South Africa remains committed to finding diplomatic solutions to any misunderstandings or disputes.

Oh! Wait. It looks like the Whitties don't want to leave the horrible South Africa for the beautiful America ... I wonder why . Trump must come and evacuate them by force just as he has promised the Gazans.

They just acted matured and as diplomats. Read the choice of words, it was carefully worded.

Trump is going to cause a lot of countries to renegotiate the existing order. It looks disruptive what he is doing but it's time to adjust the world order.

Since Trump enter dey do him thing, nothing consign me, But on this one, I fully support him against South Africa...


Anything vs Xenophobia, I will support that thing. Awon waray..

South Africa will learn the hard way. Una dey play world politics una never reach.

Concerned about misinformation and propaganda? They must not know the Republicans!

Misinformation and propaganda is their stock in trade. If one tells you the sky is blue, better go outside and look up quickly to confirm

Run to Russia for aid

SA is like Ekiti without white people. Trump is right

😂 lolz this headline is just too funny for some reason I can't pin at th moment 🤣

I say make I just burst the laughter first 😅

Pls, Any body close to President Tinubu should kindly advise him to avoid Trump for now.

K, the once accepted lgbt from there masters to got fed,remove white South african and u will see true South African is made up off, which solution are you going to look for again, a country that hate her follow african

And the tribal and religious warlord cowards must sit it out . Armchair critics ,cheerleaders and submissive slaves

God bless South Africa

All I can see is Elon Musk pressing some remote buttons from his room / office.

Also, I think the South African president jumps-off too much. Even mightier nations within BRICS such as Russia and China applies a lot of tact before taking sides with warring nations (especially Israel issues) or replying the US.

Perhaps, he trying to proof to the world that SA also has some voice now. Trump will sit him down and bring him to reality.

I'm sure you're an Igbo slave looking to migrate somewhere where other men have developed, no?

Hmmm, is somebody calming down or what?
I thought their president said they don't benefit anything from the USA? He thought Trump has time for jokes.
It is just the beginning, once their president starts talking carelessly, more sanctions will follow. This is appetiser, the main food that will crumble your economy is coming.
