President Cyril Ramaphosa has pledged South Africa’s solidarity with the African-American community following protests against George Floyd’s murder by police.

President Cyril Ramaphosa used the 95th birthday celebration of Struggle icon Andrew Mlangeni to pledge the country’s solidarity with the African-American community following protests against George Floyd’s murder by police.

The president said the murder of Floyd in Minneapolis last month opened old wounds. ”We stand in solidarity with the African-American community,” he said. He said Mlangeni pursued excellence in everything he did and has a commanding presence. ”There is substance in everything he says,” Buthelezi said.

Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu described Mlangeni as an “amazing ambassador for the ANC.” She said Mlangeni was a model of what an ANC member should be due to his integrity, honesty, dedication and commitment.

How about the whole of SA just stop the charade. We all know BlackLivesMatter don't matter in SA. Just a few months ago you were burning fellow African Brothers. STOPXENOPHOBIA. Shame on you South Africans!!.

And Collins Khosa?

ALL LIVES MATTER

realDonaldTrump Mike_Pence mikepompeo CyrilRamaphosa You gotta cut South Africa loose..... THEY HATE YOU, nevermind all the help you’ve given them over years.

An embarrassment to black lives, before you support a cause get the facts Cyril!!

Rather late than never. Timing is a big part of leadership. It shows certainty of conviction and resolution. I expect more from our leaders.

Useless president in our life tym.he killed ppl our black ppl in marikana

'Ramaphosa committed his government to pressing ahead with policies of affirmative action.' Minorities need to stick with their own

When will the ANC do the right thing? They won’t ... ever

That is good President. Ok now what about farmers in SA? Don't you pledge solidarity with them. 6 Farm attacks this week only.

I wonder when is he going pledge solidarity with the victims of crime in this country or I forget they mean nothing to him and his administration, they are just numbers.

Says the puppet leader of a communist regime which brutally killed 11 of its own black citizens during its lock-down. Hypocrite.

IF THE African National Covid 19 Looters and allies keep quiet on CollinsKhoza THEY HAVE NO LEGITIMACY IN SPEAKING ABOUT BLACK RACISM BECAUSE THEY ARE THAT RACISM, and this is the way to keep their knees on citizen’s neck by denying civil rights and the right to live !!!

CyrilRamaphosa Can you stop buying Donald Trump's face & pledge solidarity to the people of SA? This country is more racially divided now than it has been in years & you are helping to stoke the fires of racism in this country with your racist policies.

Hypocrisy at its worst what about cleaning you own house first

CyrilRamaphosa with all due respect, shouldn't you get your own house in order first?

Twitter, Facebook disable Trump video tribute to Floyd over copyright complaintTwitter Inc, Facebook Inc and Instagram disabled President Donald Trump's campaign tribute video to George Floyd on their platforms on Friday, citing copyright complaints. Couldn't Facebook and Twitter create a service where we put people like this in their own server with a bunch of bots and then someone proofread their stuff before it goes out? The bots will keep them busy. Well done Twitter and Facebook , now what about you YouTube ?
