    I don’t think there are many things that South Africa does that doesn’t make them look like fools.

        Ah yes of course. That one stance makes up for all the other bullshit South Africa does.

        The Minister of Sports, Gayton McKenzie, didn’t seem to have any problem travelling to Israel in 2023 and 2025 to seek deals to get Israeli water tech to south Africa. He sent a delegation to go to Israel and meet it’s president, and guess what? They apparently found “no evidence of apartheid” there.

          Ah yes, McKenzie who is the president of the Ultra Right wing opposition party (Patriotic Alliance), very racist, very corrupt (gang ties, bribery, embezzlement), and constantly tries to buddy up to Israel because I’m sure Israel doesn’t have a vested interest to promote the opposition in a country calling out their apartheid - especially one that’s just as xenophobic and racist as Israelis.

          Probably best to look at who you’re referencing when trying to muddy the waters.
