These racists are truly pathetic. There is no AGOA without South Africa, without our infrastructure; the ports, roads and others.

The rest of Africa means nothing, we are a big economy and that is a fact.

These American dimwits are obsessed with us, our biggest crime was standing up for Palestinian kids being bombed by juices. If that makes us an enemy so be it, at least it’ll force SA to get its ducks in a town militarily. Bring back the nuclear program let’s test like N.Korea☢️

They can take their AGOA. Lets chat a new way forward. Lets see where we exactly we stand with each other. This hide and seek is not helping anyone. What we will not do is spend eternity walking on egg shells because of the USA @JohnKennedyLA go die you old bag of bones. Fuck you - you old fart.🖕🏾

Please ensure that @kalliekriel and @ErnstRoets don't see this😥. That there are actually American lawmakers who know the worth of South Africa. Forget that he is at odds to say SA is an enemy of the USA. One day, very soon, the truth will come out.

We didn't ask for any extension. You see how easy it is to get these fools off their high horses. Tell them to fuck off and they keep issuing final ultimatums of altomatums

Quoted reasons for excluding SA from the rest of AGOA: "SA is a unique problem for America, they are our enemy right now, they are buddies with all of our enemies, and they have been very critical of the USA"

SA holds the cards in Africa, even the Israeli companies continue to operate here because ultimately, money talk and bullish!t walks. What does it do their companies in SA? They're in fact continuing to expand, leave and China will gladly swoop in.

A small tiny country like South Africa should not even be a factor for the United States. An enemy? With such a small economy? 😂😂 An enemy can only be someone formidable but SA should be insignificant in the eyes of the USA. Unless….

"As such, at the end of 2023, South Africa ran a trade deficit with every BRICS country, meaning it had negative net exports. Simply put, South Africa paid these countries more for imports than it received for the products it exported to them."

While they claim SA is an enemy of the USA led by Trump, Americans are flocking to SA in numbers as tourist. They have even surpassed the UK as they are No1 tourist who visit SA. I WONDER WHY????

[AGOA] ON U.S. and SOUTH AFRICA BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP What Redi Tlhabi, Chris Maroleng, and Anthony Carroll had to tell the U.S. Congress About South Africa Redi Tlhabi: “There are a lot of politicians who say stupid things. there is a minister, who recently said something about the CIA funding non profit organizations. That’s a lot of nonsense and it gets called out in South Africa.” “It is true that South Africa benefits richly from its relationship with the United States, far more than it does from its relationship with Russia. South Africa also has far more in common with the United States and shares common values and norms - an independent judiciary, checks and balances, a free press and a robust civil society that pushes back against state excesses. There is much to value and salvage from this relationship. However, African states don't want to seem weak. They do not want to be seen to be doing the bidding of the United States. Their peers and constituencies may punish them for that.” Full 📃 Bio: Chris Maroleng: “The US and Africa as a whole can forge a relationship that is mutually beneficial and supports the development goals of both parties. May we be so bold as to suggest that our organisation is the perfect intermediary for such interventions, given the antipathy displayed by members of the governing party to certain messages?” Full 📃: Bio: Anthony Carroll: “And SA has a robust civil society that forced President Thabo Mbeki to abandon his disastrous policies on HIV/AIDS and took to the streets to protest the excesses of "State Capture" during the destructive presidency of Jacob Zuma. Recently, a public ombudsman was removed by Parliament on suspicion of corruption and overreach. Yet, while clearly not a failed state, by many measures, South Africa is a failing one.” Full 📃: Bio: — FULL 🖇️
