'I have a duty to listen to these differing views and would like to apologise.' - Patrice Motsepe apologises for his 'Africa loves Donald Trump' comments

Businessman and philanthropist Patrice Motsepe has apologised for his comments about Africa"loving" US President Donald Trump.

Motsepe made the comment, which went viral, at a dinner in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum. The statement angered many Africans. “Why are we having all these people from sh***hole countries come here?” Trump reportedly said during an Oval Office talk with several U.S. senators about protecting immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries.

The statement goes on to state that fostering relations with other nations to alleviate high unemployment numbers on the continent and South Africa in particular, will be beneficial for all and that Motsepe is committed in fostering such relations.
