This is not just about land reform. It's about letting Hamas open an office in CT, its about Naledi Pandor visiting Iran, its about military exercises with Russia and China, and about Cyril saying publicly that SA does not need Trump or America.
@@DrugHunter-fy6nf i agree with you 100%
It's about AmeriForum and Amerikaners crying wolf 😅
@@MannyWdzTHE LIES, LATOYA',S LIES.
Perhaps it is time that we stand up on our own and not rely on aid when our country is rich in resources. Traore has turned Burkinabes lives around. How is South Africa different?
Really Traore
We believe in rainbow 🌈 nation that's we can't live without white capital monopoly which is looting our minerals and import it to benefits their western families while they giving us crumbs
I don’t agree with Mckensie at all. That his opinion and I respect that.
I do agree with him but I respect you
Remember, these issues has been brewing for 31 years. It is not about what did or did not happen the past couple of months, the wrong has been happening for so long it became the norm.
Daars n verskil tussen arrogansie en trots. Trots is gewoonlik n eerlike oortuiging.
Gayton presents a false dichotomy; there is always a third way but only a true leader can find it.
@@francoisstemmet3243 One can also argue that some of these issues have been brewing for the past 112 years and the ANC government dragged their feet to resolve it upon independence. I blame ANC government for not resolving this in 1994.
Still have 140 race laws. Fix that first
@@freddierobberts7373 they should add more, 7% whites still own 78% of the country's farming land. How else is it going to be redistributed?
I strongly disagree with Gayton’s stance-this has nothing to do with being “kick-ass” or not. Every country, including those in Africa, has the right to full sovereignty.
The issue of USAID has been a contentious one, particularly during Trump’s administration, where cutting aid to South Africa seemed more like a convenient move rather than a genuine consideration of our “Land Expropriation Act.” Now, under the leadership of Elon Musk, who heads the newly established Department of Government Efficiency, the suspension of aid to South Africa is being used as an excuse for broader changes. Reports indicate that USAID itself is on the verge of being shut down entirely (meaning not just South Africa will lose it AID from USAID) , making it clear that this is not just about South Africa but part of a larger political shift.
Furthermore, organizations like AfriForum have consistently misrepresented South Africa’s constitution, policies, and the interests of the majority of our people. Such actions should not be tolerated, as they undermine the democratic principles upon which our nation is built.
It is imperative that South Africa asserts its sovereignty without being subjected to external pressures that do not align with our national interests.

@@Allan_Hsu_888 totally agree with what you said
I do however disagree in terms of what whites can see as persecution, the BEE laws and the Bela Act is certainly not aimed at improving our culture it is to ensure our identity is lost and that we cannot get gainful employment to support our families. We just want to work.
A rich country lik S.A doesnt need to depend on another country for AID, you had everything to be 1st world but ANC and leaders drops the ball, stick to your traditional allies, and build capacity at home, help existing afrikaners to stay competitive and safe gaurd from insecurity, also nuture black industries and middle class, allow competition in sectors that can improve quality of life.Don Trump is doing Africa a favour shape up or crash and 🔥
South Africa is not a rich country. It is a low middle income country with a tiny tax base, a population growing far faster than its economy, the highest inequality and unemployment rates in the world, deteriorating infrastructure, and suffocating business regulations. It relies heavily on international aid, and the arrogance of government, alongside the narcissistic idiocracy of Trump, could cost hundreds of thousands of lives. Let's hope they play this sensibly, and acknowledge that WE NEED AMERICA. We just do. Russia gives us nothing. USAID treats 300,000 HIV cases a year. AGOA keeps hundreds of thousands in jobs.
@benjaminsmart6276 🤣🤣🤣🤣 nope Kenya is a low middle income country, S.A is a middle income country with better infrastructure despite it being old, larger middle class was food secure few years ago, mismanagement over the years by ANC, misplaced priorities , brain drain, capital flight and uncontrolled migration from neighbouring countries. Government funked up with major miners, big Industries and with little to show for it. You guys had a powerful military even nukes , wtf! Green deals is a mess , load shedding also ...inviting China & riskiest won't help your case
McKenzie has a blind side which comes out when he has to be clear about his stand on issues he avoids direct answer
Only time will tell what stopping him from being sincere 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Stupid analysis instead of seeing this situation as an opportunity for SA to promote local manufacturing stuff. Yet they on about America blah blah
This idiot is really an opportunist. He would sell South Africa any day.
Like Mckenzie stated , a poor man's arrogance is a curse and you're the living proof of that .
One thing this man is not, is an idiot
You being the IDIOT😉
He would sell not even to the highest bidder. A capitalist of note who proudly says he's into politics for power as an ordinary man you only hope politicians are in it to change people's lives for the better. Him and Malema are two sides of the same coin.
america doesnt need south africa at all. how can you be supporting hamas and expect americans assist you. you keep calling them imperialists. you cannot have it both ways. trump is holding you accountable. wake up and start governing properly
Mackenzie's shallow analysis on why the US has adopted this belligerent posture towards us is shocking. I'll watch the longer interview in search of the context behind this.
Not everyone is seeing things through your third world Lenin-Marxist spectacles .
There's no context. It's all Gayton has. No depth
I understand why the ANC wants to change the laws, but one needs to take property rights seriously. Governments have corrupt officials, and they could easily abuse their power.
Killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Not so clever ANC
Gayton - get real - we need America BigTime
I agree that internet is the wrong place to hear about the cutting of aid. But what about hearing that Expropriation bill has been signed on social media ?😊
My uncles farm has been under land claim for years now.Now he says its not true.The ANC lies, its all they have ever done
Why doesn't anyone call this guy out for his views on Israel Genocide in Gaza 😢🤔😞. Its as if no one saw the interview!
Just search 'Gayton Mckenzie Israel-Gaza Genocide interview' and its there.
Tons of South African side with Israel... I certainly do
@@deborahfilippi798 of cause you do surport Israel, why wouldn't you? It's just Palestinian being killed and their land being taken, and living under Apartheid, so why should you guys care?
But just know that most (not just tons) of South Africans care about the Palestinians, maybe because their history tells them to relate.
@@SiviweSimonPhantsi sorry but I disagree with you... Palestinians actually came from Jordan and other regions...
@@deborahfilippi798 Although I'm white, I support Palestine 🇵🇸 and the Majority of South Africa 🇿🇦 supports Palestine.
Israelis comes from Europe and colonised Palestine in 1948 driving Indigenous Palestinian Population to Jordan and Egypt.
Are sure this Grayton Mackenzie guy is a real indigenous SA?? Hmmmmmm! Seems like a sell-out, your enemy in African skin. 😢
Well Ramaphosa said he dont need America. Actualy its the other way around
The titanic is sinking...afrikaners who can leave now will survive, those who stay will go down with it. Local Municipalities and government departments, with the exception of the western cape is on the brink of system collapse... and nobody is talking about is. The GNU was the last desperate attempt by the english liberal establishment to try and save the ship....bella NHS, and land appropriation was the iceberg. God have mercy on all...
Yup, if you know of any white afrikaners ,now is a good time to tell them to take Trumps offer of refugee status,before your gloom and doom prediction gets too close

So teleurgesteld in jou McKenzie
This is all because of the ICJ case against 🇮🇱
Netanyahu told Trump what to do.
And Trump said "Yes sir"
Plain and simple.
This guy is an American&Israel apologist, he always take their side no matter what.
You can Search Gayton Mckenzie Israel-Gaza Genocide interview you will see him for what he is.
We'll wait for your evidence.
@@vinceroos A recently inaugurated USA president goes after South Africa on baseless claims. No one else in the world has ever breathed a word of this Afrikaner genocide, we're South Africans don't even know about it. But this Trump has already taken executive action on it? Drumpf is acting on Israel's behest, Rubio claims SA is anti-America, what evidence does he have to back this up?
😂they are not friends anymore
ANC is a shark in its own pond , now its testing open waters . Hope u have a life jacket .....
This one should never be a South African president
he is wealk
Why so?
You dont understand the economics of our nation nor can you see 2 steps ahead of what will happen to South Africas economy if we do certain things this video speaks directly to you with your poor man/woman arrogance
He would never survive ìt
@ You are 100% wrong, he doesnt take kak from anyone. He would be the best president we ever had
This is not the end of this story we will feel it come December 😢😢😢😢😢
Speak to Dr Theo deJager. Get your facts then reply. I'm dissapointed in you Clayton.
Thankyou ❤
My tuppence worth as a 69 year old retiree.
Unfortunately, the reality-based facts cannot be fanticised.
NB we can mo longer shy away from the truth neither can we bury our heads in the sand like an ostrich.
Case study -
Zim, historical fact and truth is undeniably a valuable source of information. I just viewed a current Biz news podcast interview with a former Zimbabwean farmer turned land restitution activist Ben Freeth who shared the most harrowing story of the 1992 land grabs in Zimbabwe (a first hand experience) .. under the 45 years of ZANU-PF
Sad story that not only affects farmers but all citizens.
Forego your ego Mr President.
Acknowledge that the playing field is not level.
Remove discrimanatory laws.
Adress us as a nation.
Not black,white etc.
Embrace your greatest asset.
All the people of this great country.
Donald thinks you are a home wrecker.Show him you are not.
Show your nation you are not.
Be Bold and fair.
You shall reap what you sow.
His take is balanced. Trade with the USA highly favours South Africa. We should not take an emotional position on practical issues. He is also right about Trump - his take was immature and childish for a head of state. Use the correct channels and investigate thoroughly
💯‼️i also agree with you. The manner in which President Trump brought this thing to light lacks manners and dignity. There are many channels he could have used to make his statement and he was completely wrong adopting the strategy that he used. Amen to that ✔️
@@njabulombuyazi5132 absolute nonsense
I’m not saying DJT is right the way he handled things. But for the past 2 years they’ve been reaching out to SA guys and ignoring the US.
This is the kind of *balanced* take that was adopted by Bantustan leaders; thankfully better leaders went with a better take that gave us Independence in 1994. With the Gayton style of ass-lickery we would still be negotiating our humanity with Boers today, but thankfully we are negotiating land redistribution and economic independence instead, as Afriforum scrambles to regain its place as a pseudo lobby group that about 5 people that matter took seriously!
Trump doesn't care about correct channels.. that's why he wants to take whatever decision he wants and we can't afford to always beg these people
I think, what Mr McKenzie says will create more subjects of those who are being assist.
What he is saying solidify exactly that which is our challenge... depending on hand outs.
Keep your pride no matter what...
USA Los will be China and Russia gain this is business. If the take advantage that is a question of another day .But the USA was taking advantage either way .
Wat van Rama wat Israel hof toe vat, word wakker
Will never bow down to evil
Is there any particular reason why our government can’t fund these programs?
Spot on, Gayton.
No one has to lick A under any circumstances, metaphorical or otherwise.
So awesome to see you here Gayton

This guy is weak- he has no idea- does he not know that BRICS + is South Africa's future.
WHY do you say that ?? I also don’t think that BRICS is our saviour by the way‼️
We are waiting for your response…
No it is not, Americas economy is larger than all BRICS nations combined.
Also countries like Canada, Mexico, Australia, Taiwan and all Europe countries have strong ties to dollars.
Who said we got nothing. Protect or needs. Use our minirals to save our lifes. Not USaid.
Really ?? Your assertion is extremely myopic my friend. The USAID isn’t just about or for South Africa but it’s for many other nations, even outside of the African continent that heavily relies on the aid and support from the organisation. So please get your facts right.

We don't need America, not at all but we r as a people living in harmony helping one another. Peofar funding only covers 15 % not that much
It's the weekend and Trump does not stop. A 24/7 wrecking ball ! He will probably slow down in a month or two. Just give him what he wants and he'll go away
The biggest problem in South Africa at the moment is the fact that we don't talk to each other about matters that is effecting us all. It could be that the government is also deliberately trying to prevent people from talking to each other about eg the NHI, EWC, etc. They are afraid that a better agreement can be reached. So I don't think we are talking to each other at all and that is the reason for the chaos in this country and the misunderstanding about BELA, NHI and EWC and it will become worse no doubt about it.
The government is not stopping anyone from talking.. People don't want to learn and read.. no one is saperating us.. we doing it by ourselves
I don't agree with trump
I think that Gayton has some good points here. I do think we need to have proper discussions with the US about the white farmer issue. More importantly than that however, and I think 47 is just using white farmers as a pretext, is what can be done about creating an international currency that does not favour one nation/group of nations over another.
❤
This is transition is important south Africa shouldn't be part of agai and us aid
We don't need American money, it's necessary to have good relations though. W
Who will pay for the AIDS medication! South Africans are poor.
Gayton, u should be savy by now. You know this has nothing to do with land, but its all about sa relationships with hamas, iran, china, russia etc.. our case against trumps friend, netenyahu ..
When we lose agoa,china will come to the rescue 🎉
17% not 70%.
gold ,,, diamondz .. uzaid . ???
This is the time to south Africa stand up the SA the will learn to make their medicine. e.g. like INDIA. also Qatar was suction in 2017 by South Arabia and Dubai
There was no food in the whole sailors fror three months
By they won at the end
Useless leader with empty Head.why bekinafaso
I am not under seige at all
Very disappoint in your speach
But we don't get work, Gayton.
Wonder why😎?Check who you VOTED for then assess if that Party has fought hard for your rights as a South African
As ek my firstrasie moet uitspreek as n afrikaaner ons het nou genoeg kak gehoor van ons self as die government iemand voor my deur kom en se ek moet gan hy sal gepoes word ek sal nie ophou poes nie
Donald is a toddler.
are you saying he is D.T ?
I fully agree with u Gayton, I really wish you were our president. This issue should be resolved to everyone's benefit... Drop the ego's and racist rhetoric. If US withdraws all their support, our economy is going to suffer badly, leading to further job losses across the board. So our country will be in even more trouble with increased unemployment, and those suffering without income in even worse financial situation. Ramaposa and cronies need to man up, eat humble pie, for the sake of this nation. Just reassure Trump that productive land will not be expropriated contrary to the constitution and grow up, for the sake of your citizens. Maybe you've forgotten that you are supposed to be looking after them, not selfishly, looking after yourselves, with all your privilege and wealth keeping you immune from financial collapse of this country.
Excellent analysis, Minister McKenzie!
