Why must you apologies bro you said it and Southafricans and africa they will be strong

He should not have apologized, we South Africans have adopted so much of the American system, yes we love you indeed.

Leaders today do not have any backbone anymore.

Educate yourself man! Africa does not love America....the West however is obsessed with Africa.

Everybody saw him on TV and heard what he said. He tried to suck into Trump. He must remember that Trump will not forgive or forget.

Why because we know he is the breadwinner of the Country so whatever he say goes.

He didn’t he only explained

I love nd respect the man, i honestly dnt care wht he said he sure has his reasons

We don't want his apologies. We want e-wallets.

Wow weakling, why? !!!! PatriceMotsepe motsepe_patrice

Silly. You were in a room with the President of the United States. You had 5 seconds to say something. You did your best.Trump can't even remember he met you by now.

He must go back to Trump and tell him tht he was lying. Cyril and friends are all liars.

Caves to the ever-bullying Lynchmobtwitter. Fixed your headline for you.

What is it with ANC associates, make huge blunders and things an apology makes it okay.

Populism at work

Why apologise? Screw anyone who disagrees.

Suppose He didn’t get the deal?

Not sincere apology. He was honest when he spoke to the President

He already secured the bag

Nna I’ll accept with 1Million nyana to wipe off my tears. Thank you PatriceMotsepe

Coward! Let me remind everyone that the USA give financial aid to South Africa every year. I actually hope they stop doing it.

He is forgiven realDonaldTrump can be self imposing at times near you🙄🤔

Indeed you can be a billionaire and be foolish just like you can be a poor man and be wise.....sometimes

All of you fighting with trump he doesn’t even know you guys exist and if he knows he will bring a trade war and there’s nothing you or Cyril will do, y’all will just suffer in silence

He loves America Money, not the actual Trump!

This one is a srhama What's the point of being so rich if u still ass-kiss?
