  • At a consequential moment in international relations, the Quincy Institute was honored to host H.E. Ronald Lamola for his first public event in Washington, D.C. since becoming South Africa’s Minister for International Relations and Cooperation on July 3. He was in conversation with Joy Reid, MSNBC political analyst and host of the “The ReidOut” and “AM Joy.” The Minister was in a fireside chat-style discussion with Ms. Reid for 30 minutes and then took questions from the audience. The conversation was on the record.
    Minister Lamola discussed key aspects of the international relations and policy of South Africa’s new Government of National Unity, which formed after this summer’s elections resulted in a strong showing by several new parties in South Africa. The conversation focused on the interest and support of many Americans for the establishment of democratic rule in South Africa in 1994 and for positive U.S.-South African relations, and explore whether South Africa’s independent foreign policy is cause for concern, or part of a broader trend in the Global South and an opportunity for a healthy, give-and-take dialogue with the United States.

      To be honest, FM Lamola had excellent explanations. I thought he didn't have a strong backgroung like Dr. Naledi Pandor, and he would falter. But, it didn't happen that way. He did an excellent job! Viva South African FM Dr. Lamola! A Luta Continua! Love from 🇲🇿🇲🇿

    What a breath of fresh air. The only thing I can add as a way of advice to my South African brother and sisters is for them to be aware that these meetings/conferences are nothing more than intel gathering on the part of Americans. Look how they deploy a so-called African to lead the meeting. In my dialect of the Nguni language we call it, "ukumunya umungula". They are trying to sus out what South Africa's next actions would be and then they can plan a counter.

    Not some American assuming that South Africa can be pressured into a moral decision, taken by multitudes of our leaders over 60 years ago! It’s a moral stand that our liberation movement made to support the liberation of all and more directly, that of the Palestinian people. They supported our struggle to the hilt, with training our freedom fighters and helping to finance our liberation struggle. Palestine are our brothers in arms and we can never desert their struggle for freedom under the unjust oppression of this so called israeli state!

    Awesome! Good to see Joy Reid here! Far too much of of msnbc is pretty awful about foreign policy, especially since Mehdi Hasan left, but now I’m actually glad that he did cause now we have Zeteo! But Joy Reid has grown on me over the years as well, and she is also decent in her coverage of the horrors in Gaza, and is against our policy of unconditional military aid to Israel and I respect her for that.
