Let’s embrace in our benevolence those who, in a spirit of benevolence come so we can all share the blessings we all have received from the merciful God. These Japaneses are certainly better for Africa than those criminals called Gupta who in South Africa have considered us stupid, caused troubles and run away to Dubai.
