Why Mike Pompeo did not even stop to say hello to SA | IOL News

Mike Pompeo, the world’s most powerful secretary of state, just zipped through Africa. He did not stop to say “hello” to South Africa. He winked a warning at us from Ethiopia, though. “South Africa is debating an amendment to permit the expropriation of private property without compensation,” he told a UN Economic Commission session.

Not quite the reasons why he picked Ethiopia, Senegal and Angola before heading out to Saudi Arabia; but who would take South Africa seriously? President Cyril Ramaphosa waited more than 90 minutes to deliver his State of the Nation Address. The subsequent debate by the honourable members degenerated into a slinging match over who beats up or used to beat up his wife. What trivialisation of a life-threatening matter! Our politicians tap-dance around progressive policies, speaking in future imperfect tense, as if anyone ever built a reputation on what they are going to do.

Our state-owned enterprises, if not recovering from malfunction, are facing ruin. Ministers and senior politicians speak at cross-purposes on critical issues. The private sector refuses to open the economy.

VictorAfrica SouthAfrica anyone surprised? SecPompeo said all there is to say to the anc criminal scumbags, we see you. Does the corrupt MYANC gov care? No they trying to drive western investment out of SA. ccp doesn't care about ewc or CrimesAgainstHumanity, ne? Wuhan coronavirus

VictorAfrica He is doing what every sane person is doing gosh I don’t blame the man

VictorAfrica Why would he come here. He can see what is happening and so can the world. The next failed afican racist state. Next Zim. Bring the sanction

VictorAfrica For all I care his can roll on his balls the whole Africa and not come here we cool...actually we don't care

VictorAfrica Why should Mike Pompeo drop by a country that doesn't know if it's going or coming, the best he could do is drop sanctions on this drunken anc government!🍻🍺

VictorAfrica Like we care. Trump administration is a bunch of lunatics good for us

VictorAfrica He can say whatever he wants to. We are tired of being stepchildren in our own country. Our mandate is cleared. Ayixoxisi. Igazi phansi, we're prepared to for anything.

VictorAfrica As if we recognize him 🤷🏾

VictorAfrica Why should he?

VictorAfrica 2/So keep insulting the US. You WILL REAP A WHIRLWIND of destruction. Wait and see. Reread my post in a years time

VictorAfrica 1/Astonished at how stupid the comments on this thread are. Americans will crush SA and China will walk away. They won’t fight America over SA. SA is simply insignificant and unimportant in the bigger scheme of world politics.

VictorAfrica Black Twits, be as outraged as you like, America can destroy this country with a click of their fingers. Carry on with EWC and you will see what the world is going to do to you. You have NO IDEA.

VictorAfrica Who is he....Jesus Christ? Should we kneel

030303ehrich VictorAfrica He’s a knob.

VictorAfrica Because of his comment on land issue!!

VictorAfrica China African trade American threat ,that's why pompeo is here. China made big pledges to Africa last year .America wants to block or flop

VictorAfrica Where was this Pompeo when the land was taken from blacks, why there was no economic disaster when the land was taken, what kind of economy is this that will collapse when the land is taken back, to hell with Pompeo.
