- 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.

The USA can learn immensely from South Africa and Yemen.

You making us proud minister. May you keep growing in knowledge and contribute to the growth of SA.
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 🇲🇿🇲🇿
Ronald Lamola you have acquitted yourself well on the world stage! Thank you from your home in Bushbuckridge!!
Xihi veka mepeni Ronald
@@GustusJusticeManyike-vi4jt Big time!
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.
Well said Brother 👏🏾ngamaMenemene they can't be trusted at all
Another russian apologist
you are 100% correct
I admire your diplomacy, i could tell u were holding back against the west ... Maturity
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!
How are black people treated in Palestine, or in any other Arab/Islamic nation for that matter?
@@elroyswarts513 What I’m seized with is the relationship between the Palestinian struggle and the South African one. If you want to do a survey about your little myopic world view, you are welcome to. So that you can go on whatever trip you’re on!
@@noxolotshabangu8055 I know. Black people are only important as far as they can be used as useful idiots in order to fight for Palestine. Otherwise, they are treated like second class citizens. Got it.
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.
Shout out to Ronald Lamola for being clear and concise in his answer to these very important questions.
The Only pressure South Africa has is moral pressure🇿🇦🇿🇦
I nolonger support ANC,but I am amused by how well Lamola is maturing deplomatically and politically
By South African standards that was not a particularly robust discussion.
Well articulated Minister,
Beautiful conversation between the QI and Minister Lamola
Wonderful speech !!!!
I wish it was Madame Naledi Pandor who was interviewed.
Agree with but she is also so intelligent mark my words ❤
She has the right to enjoy her retirement, family, and gran-kids. South Africa has the right to groom younger politicians.
Minister Lamola is maturing well, more wiser
But we, as South Africans, we thank Russia 🇷🇺,
But our people prefer to go to america and not russia
Russia🤔? For what????

Thank you Lamola. You represent us well.
Brilliant Minister❤
Brilliant 👍🏾🇿🇦
I miss Naledi Pandor as the minister of foreign affairs. Lomola missed too many opportunities in this interview to call out the US and its leaders for being complicit in genocides and for exploiting Africa. Guy is weak!
I miss NALEDI but I think Ronald did well. He answered all the questions and spoke diplomatically. It's unfair that you are pitting them against one another.
Bro, that was a very loud laugh. lol
Our youngest and brilliant Minister! What a firebrand 👏👏👏👏
South Africa's majority black people are poor. America will worsen the situation. The Lamolahas sold out
Same in Zimbabwe
Financial Pressure from Iran is crazy🤣🤣
Informative information for knowledge seekers listening is an important asset.
GET INFORMED THROUGH THE LEARNING PROCESS NECESSARY FOR OWNING OWN GOOD BETTER LASTING SATISFYING BETTER CONCLUTIONS..
USA CANNOT SAY ANYTHING POSITIVE EVER BECAUSE THE WHITE SOUTH AFRICA WAS VERY ANTI BLACK AND EVEN TODAY OUR INDEPENDENCE DUE THE WHITE EUROCENTRICISMIC COLONIAL MIGHTY MIGHT STILL DOMINATES EVEN USA.
Brilliance.... we are proud of you, young lion.
Yoi see these ministers are quick to jump and discuss thier plans nabelungu and they hardly go to SABC radio stations to discuss their yearly plans with people who voted for them to power.
We fcuked here with these askaris
Hai Wena, sit down, Ronald Lamola is foreign affairs minister and so he will engage domestically as well internationally.
Mmh but did he have to say Ronald like that 😂. It's not a tribal name. Back to that Trevor Noah's joke
Literaly the same name as Ronald Regan😂
They have to use black people to interview South Africa's foreign minister. I love Joy Reid. But I also know that she was told what to ask and, is annoying when you think of how they use us.
Brilliant
Not everyone is governing in South Africa....
Never ask about hamas and its tunnels
I love President Trump
He is ready come 2029
NO he is not.... if anyone from the anc....rather the Minister of Electricity..... Ramakgopa
❤
Força President Putin, Força!
Dont let he fool you apartheid still very much alive and practised by ANC
Full stop you are a disgruntled citizen your views are really a shame. South Africa is a young democracy with one of the best constitution in the world
Name one apartheid practice?
This dot fool is the reason why racists should be prosecuted everywere in the world..
Such a comment can only come from a person disgruntled with the end of apartheid and therefore their privilege! Sit down and hold your tongue, you are an embarrassment!

And Ukraine also has the right to self determination, right?
Your problem is "little knowledge"
Okay " why is Russia and Ukraine fighting?"Go learn about that then you will be sorted,
And why do you think there is no peace talk in this conflict?
Aftica was the only Continent that was talking about peace.
Whenever US pushes for war, then you must smell a rat
That is their war, NATO is being played for a fool
There is no Apartheid in Israel. I and my parents lived through Apartheid as Khoisan people. I went to Israel and visited several sites and cities. And there is no Apartheid in Israel. I was in Israel. These are lies that are spoken about Apartheid and genocide.
Most infant argument I've ever seen, You need a software upgrade. your brains were frozen in the 80's peak of our Apartheid in S.A I see.
@@njabulomthethwa4988know the truth and truth will you set you free Jesus Christ the Messiah is the truth
😅😅😅There is no need answering you, you are a damaged product
You're obviously not smart.
@nhloniphoingqwele5433 why? Did someone call you dumb and now you're paying it forward?
So Iran supplying arms to hamas does not feul the war ??? Why is that ignored by bias Joy
Wit US & Uk supplying Isreal wit arms doesn't fuel the war??? Why is that ignored by u???
Are you bored or ignorant of the current state of affairs? Your beloved US has spent ridiculous amounts of money on Ukraine who they have no formal relationship at NATO level, to the detriment of the marginalised homeless Americans who would improve the lives of their loved ones if these ridiculous billions were spent on the HUMAN SIDE OF THINGS, but instead its a few companies and individuals who just want more more more more ......
Are you sitting on your brain?
@@babakawaz8225 live is not fair and no ond is coming to ssve you
ANC and morality can not be used in the same sentence
Why not?
You don’t know what you are talking about.
True. They have no morals they are corrupt and cover up for corrupt cadre's Their are no prosecutions and these people. We have a hill of shame in Limpopo which is filled with white crosses of over 4000 white farmers, their wives and children were brutally raped, sodomised, tortured and murdered. The ANC deny this. SA wants to work with Brics, not Europe who they can refer to as their colonizers. Open your eyes USA.
So is the racist DA....
@@nomhlembassa4249 o the race card again poor you perpetual victim or is it beggar
No pressure Iran just paid them the one day they were broke anc after a visit to Iran they had millions
Shame, say it again😂
Another disgruntled dog in a manger!
Mxm! How i wish you can learn more while in the process of growing up, so that you may be able to distinguish between ASSUMPTIONS and FACTS
Or maybe you were lied to
Some say Iran is broke but it seems however broke but the US Sanctions Iran is still able to give money to RSA!!! Lol that's madness
