- The South Africa Chamber of Commerce in the United States is concerned about the impact of President Donald Trump's threats to cut US funding to South Africa.
Without providing any proof, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that South Africa was confiscating land and treating certain classes of people very badly. He says the United States would not stand for it. To elaborate further, we are now joined by SABC News International Editor Sophie Mokoena.

I'd be embarrassed as a black person in this country. The idea that I need handouts to succeed.
Well, go back to the Netherlands where you won't need to give anyone handouts. Simple 🤷🏾♂️
Hi my friend no need to be embarrassed. Not your fault❤❤❤
😂 you do know black people once upon a time were self sufficient and wanted nothing to do with white people and to counter this whites had to take the land.
You're a caucasian though? You are not African!
As a black person in SA I'm absolutely not embarrassed, actually proud that for once we are making decisions that moves us away from the tight grip of the western powers, they won't make decisions we all agree with and that's ok with me
Its not trump against SA,its trump against anc,the anc is not south africa!!
Those are very true words. I would like to see an election where we could vote that South Africa become another state of the USA.
Trust me Trump knows everything
I don't understand why SA is still involving Trump in our business. We are BRICS nation no time for begging plz
Hindu India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 🇮🇳 is abegging country@@PumlaNzima
If Trump was still paying you then everyone is quiet about him. But when the cash flow stops, aaaa we don't need him. Trum is right here.
Ill-informed
He is nuts , thats whta Canada is saying including Mexico and Denmark.
Sophie sounds like an ANC mouthpiece
You don't like what she's saying? What for you want to here?
Look look she washed for supper.
@claudiamela4040 don't worry sissy they are going to take the clothes of your back.
The Entire SABC is - they are a mockery of fair and unbiased journalism, Always have been -under the NATS and under the ANC juntas both.
You mean she is not? I thought she is?
ANC must fall
@@stephendevonroux Rather say human leadership must fall. Hoping another human will lead to greaner pasrures? You are hoping for yet another disappointment
GNU now😂😂😂
Don't wish for the worst.
If I wer u,I would wish for the ANC to lead coz a r softer, the next in line the EFF n the MK, they won't play around I'm telling u
@Tips4orhealth 🤣🤣🤣 they are wishing for the worse.
He's the most well informed man in the world.. anc can say what they want. Their lies are exposed.
Delusional
Stop BEE
Yes because my ideas im not giving free to a spinless coward that gets everything for free coz of their skin colour
You are 8% and still complaining for 30years were as you oppressed us for centuries.This is the beginning.
You want the blacks to remain poor?
Why are people against redress of the imbalances of the past? Are current apartheid patterns what some people prefer...? South Africa being the most unequal society in the entire world with race being a determining factor? As per the World Bank's report hardly a year ago... is this the divide people are happy to leave for the generations to come? There must be peaceful, equitable redress I believe, for the benefit of all future generations in our beautiful country, black and white
@NCMK007 SA whites don't see us as equals they prefer apartheid Afriforum is still waving the apartheid flag that shows we are still monkeys to them as Hellen Zille said colonization is the best thing that happened to black people.
Like always. Downplaying the full-scale corruption of the ANC.
Its not downplaying , every African agrees this is not about the ANC, WE DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT THE ANC. YOU LIKE TO DEFLECT
@Savedbygrace-z6d So what do you care about?
Why can people not just see that for a country to still have discrimination against any group after being in power for 31 years is a problem.
Inequality is shocking just see WC cities n townships
You moving close to White cities
Why can you not see the truth, that this most unequal economy in the world is driven purely by free-market forces that favour those who inherited the privileges of brutal crimes against humanity?
Who's fault is that? ANC can't build anything or grow the economy. So is being racist the answer to their short comings??? @@PumlaNzima
But you have been enjoying the benefits of whiteness from 1652 until now.
Even us living in South Africa do not know what this laws he signs in entails. First BELA Law, the Land without compensation, NHI Act??? Why are we as South Africans not informed properly of what laws mean and what the purpose of each law is. Its just signed without proper informing everyone that is involved.
Exactly!!!
i do know, but you are jappie!!!
South African state broadcaster telling a USA President that he is mislead 😂
Please send Sophie to negotiate with Trump 🍿
@@RogesvarieMoodley 😅
What are South African soldiers doing in DRC? Protecting some well connected individuals' business interests?
Yea, why were South African soldiers in the DRC in the first place? They should be deployed at our borders. For whatever downgraded function they could be of worth in any case.
No wonder the SABC is in financial difficulties!
They are the ANC's biased mouthpiece and deserve to be disbanded.
Bad reporter
Very bad reporter🤢🤢🤢
Trump knows something
Yes indeed, because Elon Musk was born in SA
No he doesn't
There is a RACIST BLACK SUPREMACIST gov in South Africa
Which is essentially anti-black😂😂😂
That's so rich coming from you. 😂

There are over 140 race laws in South Africa designed to socially and economically exclude all minorities.
Am not entirely sure on what you are talking about, just educate me and probably many others.
How about (designed to protect the majority)? Stop spreading lies. Karma is a dish best served cold
@N_Kay_Official No designed to exclude through race quotas based on fictitious racial classifications that don't even make sense
@MzamoAdoons-d6n Ja a black supremacist like you wouldn't even notice when minorities are deprived of human rights
Racism against whites is alive and well in ANC policy.
Came here to see why my tax dollars are going to SA. I don't understand what she's trying to say, and honestly, I don't think she knows what she is trying to say.
I will with my whole being and spirit vote that that Trump takes over South Africa and make it a USA State. While he has his eyes on Greenland and Panama, If I were a girl I would lift my skirt up and flirt with all I have.
Netso. Praat twak.
Do not degrade Trump
In America not here dumass
Get out of this country while you still can. This is the road that Zimbabwe also followed, and see how well they are doing down there in the sewers of poverty.
Is it America's taxpayer responsibility to KEEP FUNDING??? FREE LOADING MUST END ALSO!!!!!! ANC CAN TALK B.S!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂C.R used billions on the Palestinian court case,so why must U.S.A. fund them!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 The ANC acts mighty, but stand with the hands out BEGGING 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Africa loves to talk, but keep waiting from others!!!!
BRICS time is now🎉🎉🎉No business with US🎉🎉🎉❤🇿🇦 🇷🇺
@ You are so ill-informed or no-informed, and delusional. every country in the brics alliance, is trying to dig a hole faster than the other.
This person is missing the point.America is the leading and biggest country in the world and Rama should start listening.
what the heck!
So what????
BRICS+ is the future. We done with the US
Listen until when? We need indepedence otherwise the threats will continue everytime there is agenda. We need united Africa irregardless of race. All Africans together and in relations with EU and asians not dependent to them. Better to be hungry with dignity than beg and kneel at mercy for money. Its time for Africa Independence
Exactly. But she thinks she and the likes of her can afford to be arrogant.🤣Let the stupid people suffer.
SA must wake up
We stand with our South African Indigenous Coloured, Indian and White South Africans ,love from the USA
This is Africa
This is Africa the land of the blacks
Thank Trump is fixing America and hope he can stop SAs BEE racism and EWC nonsense.
Soon USA will be karen and woke free and society will be back on track.

@@RudraSingh08309 Read up on 1949 riots and 2021 looting.
You were still receiving aid from brits in 2015 😂
THIS LADY DOES NOT KNOW WHAT SHE IS TALKING ABOUT SPECIAL WHEN COME TO INTERNATIONL AFFAIRS
Journalism really losing its way.
It's about ICC and BRICS
Every country that is being discipled by America - has screwed with America....
South Africa can walk away from America - but don't expect the charity to follow. If we want America's charity - then America has a right to a say in the governments management of these funds...
SA is messing up everywhere
🎉🎉🎉🎉 go trump give it to ANC!! SAVE US
If you battle to convince a president that all is ok, how do you intend to convince a potential investor to invest in SA?
Fantastic comment. You said it all.
Sophie Mokoena English level is poor as a journalist and straight from the ANC english school. Without a doubt she is a propaganda machine for the ANC. Not all South Africans are stupid Sophie. Please cut it out
....and the English saying goes: "Don't shoot the messenger!" if you knew English that well!🙄
Why pay for stolen property ?
This is disgusting in these crappy reporters think it's okay imagine if they were on the other side imagine if they got their land taken you have to work for stuff
Trump is correct absolutely so!
Listen Soffie it is not only about the expropriation of land its everything else that the black government is doing to the other races
And there are others angles as well. Ramaphosa's support for Hamas/Palestinians and ruzzia. That is 100% against the USA's political views.
Sure - it is entirely within SA government's "freedom of choice" to decide how who they support and how. But be careful how you deal with the hand that helps you, and the language you use, with that hand.
If Trump truly cut off funding can our president still create jobs for his people.
There were no jobs even before the unknown funding
Our president cannot create jobs. Full stop.
Not while he wants to make everything that works state owned. This aid cut will dramatically affect people receiving ARV treatment and the people in those jobs providing that service. Maybe we can finally wave goodbye to communism. Ok maybe not but boy did they get a massive wallop today.
No
Daft headline. Of course he understands. Its overdue. ANC arrogance knows no bounds. Now ANC justifying 😂😂😂
No matter what the outcome of SA and Ruanda comes to, SA had no right to be there in the first place. They were not ready for any type of war. I really hope that government is going to take responsibility for this mess and aslo for those who lost their lives.
What is this woman smoking
Nobody gives property
Away
ANC to blame .
This was deliberate
if you think you will get an independent journalism from her you are waiting for a bus in a train station🤞
There is no pills that can help her
America is the last nation on earth who should be lecturing the world on morality, human rights and democracy pleez!
Thank you , silly hypocrites and deflecters
These clowns here at home, waiting for Trump to save them are suffering from serious delusions.
What I know about USA is that everything that they build is quality not like others.
Madam Sophie, there are speech classes you can receive
Why did the ANCommunists find the woman with the worst English-speaking abilities to represent South Africa 🇿🇦 in English?
To take something take legally belongs to someone else is theft
1:44: "His advisors didn't give him information in terms of what this act is all about".
OK - if anyone ask the average citizen on the street, what are the details of this act? What properties can the government take and what Can't they take? How many average citizens will know the answer?
Furthermore - the act states something now. How will the act change in the future?
A huge problem is that we sit with politicians that we do not trust.
And the ANC is desperate now - they will say anything that their voters want to hear. Or omit details that the voters do NOT want to hear.
We all know and understand the intent of the Act. It is to take property of whites and discriminatively give it to black owners. It is racially motivated. It is racist. Stemming from a long-held grudge that they have stoked the fires off for half a century,
Brilliantly said! Unfortunately they will ensure this becomes Zimbabwe 2.0. South African arrogance is only surpassed by its stupidity
Anc have been sitting on all the riches and wealth for so long and yet the people are beggars in this wealthy country
We fought against Apartheid! We are not scared of Trump. We will fix our country, SA, our own way ! South Africans are not cowards !✊️
Amen and Amen
Trump not well advised.... Believe me - he has ALL the facts he will never start an argument without having all the facts...
Those are not facts, DA n FF+ lied to Trump but we careless about America, we are in BRICS
We are BRICS nation, US is not part of us
Still we support trump not brics ,we dont care what you want
@@PumlaNzima so why should they give us billions of Rands? That's being stopped now so why complain?
@PumlaNzima yes you are- put the s in small letters though.
Viva Trump!
Sorry lady, President Donald Trump's concern is USA TAXPAYERS MONEY cannot be taken for granted
And SA must stop begging n ficus in building economy with BRICS nations🎉🎉🎉❤
Ai Sophie. You are missing the point completely. Try another job
She is a propaganda specialist. Russia and China can do nothing wrong. She is so bias.
Why dont you bring us a politician this ANC woman is clueless and job seeking
As to why an undertrained,underarmed,unsupported SANDF went to the DRC in the first place, could it have anything to do with Phembani? Where Cyril "sold" his mines in the DRC to
thats what you get for supporting hamas. you take their money yet support hamas. you cannot continuously call americans all of sorts names , what do you expect?
Communists crying about not getting handouts from capitalists
First.. the screw up... then the cover up!
We appreciate the generosity of pres.Bush with health but americans need the money too. They need to reduce that 34 trillion dollar debt.
You'll want trump to support SA but you'll were standing with Palestine?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If kagame can stand up against south Africas exaggerated importance, what about America, never offend a wrong a person. Dnt offend America' ....
I am getting out the popcorn for the reaction when our privelages under Agoa are cancelled (only my prediction).
Enjoying funds alone the country is in bad state. We need a patriotic leader who will put SA first n focusing in building economy with BRICS nation
#Minority rights , and SA citizen rights matter 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
What nonsense are you talking about? All South African citizen rights matter, including those who were treated bad during apartheid.
You are talking nonsense, all SA citizens rights are important. 🤣
All SA citizens rights matter, are you smoking something heavy....🤣🤣🤣
Land n minerals matters of SA not US business. Go home trump waiting for u
@@digitalzoo-q6g Most of apartheid laws were abolished in the 80's by the Afrikaner that was brought in by the British. So much hate against the Afrikaners, yet don't see how much was built for this nation during that period, sure wasn't the best system, but the hate to a group after 31 years of gov change is quite appalling. How must 2-3 generations feel not growing up in apartheid and being punished for something they weren't a part of nor didn't benefit from. People forget like BEE/BBBEE only a few benefitted from apartheid, most didn't get benefits. South africa has apartheid now on the other side, if it was truly "free" from apartheid, there wouldn't be a single race based law in the books, but no, there is 140 race based laws now benefitting black people but mainly benefits the Cadres who are sub-human.
I am happy with the US stopping aid not because I agree with the idiot Trump but because it irks me that our politicians find it an acceptable policy to rely heavily on foreign aid because anyone with a reasonable level of thinking that leverage will be used if you don't see eye to eye with whomever gives you the aid.
Based off the comments on this vid, i wil say this:
A follower is a type of human, and I have been fortunate enough to learn that most people are followers, and when i say "learn," im not talking about a cerebral learning, but, i guess you can say, a more so "soul learning" (I witnessed and experienced too much). Most people are followers, and followers can rarely be trusted.
Followers live their lives, directly or indirectly, through other people (friends or family they are jealous of, and through politicians, celebrities, etc); they live their lives through groups (democrats, Republicans, etc), and through material possessions.
Civilization produces followers.
With that being said, one thing i do not understand about some geopolitical situations is, if South Africa is part of BRICS, and the heads of BRICS are Russia & China, and Russia & China are the enemies of the US, why does South Africa accept aid from the opposing team (US)?
When you are a financial cripple with your begging bowl - and dependant on charity and handouts - you have no choice but to bow to their will.....
These people take us for fools...
ANC own most land already and what is going on on the land nothing all dry soil and unsafe building.
Land is not for anc but for public use. Land must be returned no arguments about that even Trump has zero say😂😂
South Africa don't bow to their Will, proceed with what you do.Let them stop the AID
Cant wait to start trading in BRICS currency 🎉🎉🎉
They already did your President has his hat in his hand already, begging for more money. Don't think Russia/China will touch us with a barge pole.
Then why is SA government complaining about trump actions
and become second Zimbabwe !!! funny indeed
@@PumlaNzima hahahahahahahahahahaha the currency will be brics, worthless. SA another racist shithole country filled with Neanderthals.
Believe this, Trump WILL be advised properly at some point in time.
I pray you will not be part of any negotiations with President Trump...
🤣🤣🤣Oh mr Trump, you do not understand expropriation without compensation. That does not mean we will take land from people who PAID for their properties over 20 years AND we are already in power for 30. No no, you've got it wrong, mr Trump. Please keep on helping us...please, we don't mean it that way!🤣🤣🤣🤣
One syllable Sophie at it again.
Can you speak an African language ? No
@@fredbantu3694 I do.. Afrikaans. That is a 100% african language. I would like to speak other african languages as well and do my best.
@@AndrewMcFarlane_1 Its Dutch with local dialect......I guess you are remedial also.
@fredbantu3694 I may be remedial but at least not a 25%er like you. 🤣🤣
Now it is expropriation and transformation and not expropriation without compensation ?
America is not our. boss we are Africans we canno dance for American
Then pay for your own retroviral drugs and stop spreading the disease
But we do not even have enough money to buy anti Retro meds for our people. You don't even see how stupid you are.
We should stand together as African Countries. We shouldn't be begging this US . Cuba had to stand alone and tell them in their eyes that" you will never control us until death " we should stand up for ourselves
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Cba received billions and shipped their citizens to the US. Too bad Pres T wasn't pres then.
Omw Sophie i think you know nothing ... .just bring our solders back home ....
Sadf should not be in DRC or Rwanda. Ill equipped to do any peace keeping or war action
Why do South Africans see it fit, to give an explanation in the first place???
It's just the wording 😂😂... our constitution does NOT allow land grabbing..
Sophie's knowledge about the Great Lakes Region, especially Rwanda and Congo is very poor. Compare what she says and what General Nyamwasa has said! Who is wrong/ right here?
Compensation is fair if we are to try to avoid violence.
Our SA brothers can go home through anywhere they want Rwanda inclusive! And no one will parade them. That's not what Rwanda is!
Taking the clothes of their own people's back every step of the way then crying about the food throth becoming empty.
We all know that south African dnt have sources to fight let be peace before it gets to far
Playing with fire. Zimbabwe number 2
Both the ANC and Donald Trump have an erroneous understanding of the Expropriation Act😂😂😂
Ziyaku entertain SA affairs aaike sikhulume ngabantu abafayo kwelakini eZim. Did you check your family in Zim after cholera outbreak?
@@PumlaNzimaZimbabwe is that filthy thing between your thighs you are always giving to your useless husband.
So what is happening in Shoshego in Limpopo right now? Oh Sophie seems like you are the one that is not so informed...
It's their land, or do you know the other owner?
Limpopo 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤e sure you have it all in your land.
Trump knows you😂😂
Oh hes very well advised im afraid....and so is the rest of the shocked world
To me SABC need to send journalist who can able to investigate not hear what they say like CNN aljezira etc now we hear what they say not what is happening on grownd
It's very easy to figure out what the EWC act is about, it's all clearly stated in the description. Can you imagine having such an act in any civilised country? As for not having to listen to DT - if someone gives you billions every year with no strings attached, you do what they say else this happens to you.
Most SA mine are closed and they bring the Chinese to take their leftover they were supposed to backfill dose mines they left it opened
6152 Mines apparently are closed..and those towns that were once prosperous as ghost towns. Mines that generated Billions. Mines which once worked like an oiled machine..
Another doctor and honorable member.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump must keep his money, we have survived the worst. We will emerge stronger.
When has this ever been true?
Stop talking rubish sooofy
Wait and see united states of America won't understand without African resources 😂😂😂
Phakama Russian or China
Why should Africans also bow to the saying of Western World.
Ai ai ai your history makes you unbelievable. Remember eskom and the water crisis etcetera or should I carry on. Eish mama
