Failure of the global North to fulfill their obligations is the very reason why a lot of countries are moving towards BRICS and rightfully so, The north will not adhere to the demands of the South until its too late.

You have been never beggars, it’s all in your head, because of your traumatic slave experience over Centuries. There are many white people, who have never agreed to your exploitation, and how you people have been treated. I am very happy as white person, how you gain now monumentum, and how your Leadership gets recognition, and the respect they deserve. Africa go BRICS create a new world. Thank you. People around the world stand by Africa a sovereign continent. Warm greetings from Australia
This man spoke from his heart and was beautifully delivered. I hope that the leaders of Africa stay firm on their beliefs and rise and evolve Africa to economic power. I am with you Africa. Now is the time!
that "well said" might cost AGOA which is 15-20% from SA business earnings; another 50% business is coming mostly from the EU and if they turn their back to SA the rand is going drastically South- R30-35 for a dollar, eventually; then tell me how SA is going to trade internationally???
Absolutely, like this version of our President. Wish I could see this decisivenesss here at home to re-charge our trust in him....SA citizens need that....
Mr President, your speech touched on critical and urgent matters. However, when something of this magnitude is driven by France, a country that is still a colonial power to 14 West African countries to this day 24 June 2023 leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. BRICS+ is rising and the de-dollarisation drive happening all over the world is a huge threat to the Bretton Woods establishment where Europe and America are major beneficiaries. So, a conference such as this makes me wonder why all of a sudden there's a new Global Financial Pact. Why all of a sudden. This sounds a lot like Bretton Woods 3.0 to me. (2.0 was the Petro-dollar in 1971). I don't believe that the West has the best interest of the Global South at heart (especially Africa). I believe we are better off in focusing on BRICS Development Bank and as Africans let's unite and create an all-Africa Continental Currency for trade at least within the African Continent. The Capital you are asking for of $100 billion per year where do you think it's going to come from? America can create $5 trillion dollars in an instant to bail out their banks (2008-2009) and the repo Market (Sep 2019 to Mar 2020). Why must we as Africans borrow currency from these institutions. Why can't we create currency for our own infrastructure development that would be backed up by Gold, Oil and other minerals from various African nations. Why do we insist on making loans that come at a huge cost and bring a financial burden to generations of Africans. For now, yes, due to lack of Financial Institutions in Africa, I understand a loan temporarily for infrastructure such as the Dam and Electricity grids is necessary because of the urgency but we definitely have to set up our own Financial Institutions that will fund our own infrastructure. Let us not expose ourselves and our children to debt slavery to countries that can create currency by the trillions in a snap of a finger. thanks Khaya from Johannesburg
I love South Africa and South Africans- I Spent 8years wihtout any serious proplem with the people of South Africa I am so proud of the presidents speach may God bless Africa, South Africa in Particular.....all the way from Lusaka Zambia one love
The summary notes presented by Ramaphosa is superb. Has touched the points he wanted to make. We expect as an African more from BRICS summit in August 2023.
The opening statement when the pres said the currency will be the top of the agenda at the Brics meeting, you can sense the quietness in the room, no matter how they take it, Brics should move forward with this plan. Nice one Mr Cyril
Dumza you spot on that when our president said currency is no 1top priority in the BRICS Agenda. He was also smiling after that you just saw red faces.
I take my hat off to you President Cyril Ramaphosa for talking so boldly to the European Leaders without any reservations or making any compromises. I am saying "Raise Africa Raise" because the time is now to claim for a permanent seat at the UN table.
talking boldly doesn't mean he says the right words; he doesn't want to beg for money but wants promises to be fulfilled, I guess they will be fulfilled one day as the ANC fulfils their promises to the people
Oh man, when President Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 called out the “Superpowers” on how they treated Africa pertaining covid vaccines, I felt it. And I just love how hard he his going for Africa,Amandel Awethu✊🏽! Greetings from Namibia 🇳🇦
"treated Africa pertaining covid vaccines..." You sound like vaccines grow on trees. Vaccines are something you develop, and there is absolutely nothing preventing Africa from developing all sorts of vaccines... What's holding you back?
They've always been standing up.. it's just now they cannot be shoved under the rug by assassination.. or overthrow of government.. you can look in the western leaders eyes they do not want to play fair.. they've had over 70 years since world war II.. but greed and racism and exploitation was the order of the day.. now they because of our inability to playfair.. Russia and China has swooped in and have found favor! Bad choices on our part!
Exactly, so that your children can suffer. Ramaphosa is smart but unfortunately his party is corrupt to the core. Keep voting for them so they can finish off this country completely.
Well said Mr president well said❤. For me this easily ranks in the top 5 political presidential speeches on the world stage iv ever heard. Spoke eloquently without mincing words. Said what he needed to for the entire continent and made it clear that Africa should be treated with kuch more sincerity and respect. Aaah man round of applause sir and hats off😊 to you for this excellent address
H.E Cyril Ramaphosa 🔥🔥🔥🔥 his audible and clear voice, calm voice but firm voice. Intellect and articulation, good speech, Africa is rising, its either they sit at our table in fairness or we separate, too much history here, only way is forward for Africa 🇿🇲
I like when he says ("we were not there for a begging mission") I believe Africa has a lot than going there for begging.These point makes me happy because there are people who think Africa knows only begging from the West and Europe.That was to open up a black Sea channel.
His remarks on the Africa peace mission on Russia - Ukraine issue and the posture Africa is adopting as an equal global force have set the tone for a really good monday. Thank you for representing, i want to take him out to an appreciation dinner. He did well
The expressions on all their faces throughout the speech shows the impact of that comment! The light at the end of our African tunnel is getting brighter as the rest fades away.
My brothers in Africa...really impressive and pertinent. He has spoken from his heart and from facts and reality..he is the African Man..yes lets unite against those who think Africa is weak and beggar..
@@thebible-lennynair7921 watch from 10:53. He did talk about being practical and fixing the electricity issue in africa. I do feel your pain but he did address it. Now we have to wait and see it practically. 🤦
Africans aren’t beggars. We have to be treated equally. If you can’t supply us medicines, allow us to manufacture ours . We have the brains 🧠 here in Africa.
Why are you all asking permission....you have been given herbs, plants, and fruits to heal the body. The powers that be on the U.S are trying to stop us from taking charge of our own health.
I am incredibly thankful that Zuma is not our president, and it's hard to imagine him delivering such closing remarks. Despite his imperfections, the current president has truly saved us from numerous potential disasters.
This is how somebidy share their thought in the conserted world! I SALUTE YOU MR PRESIDENT This us the way a leader make his mark! Where would EFF stand in this capacity? Nowhere near this top level and highly analytical discussion ! I just hope South Africans are listening and observing the credentuals of this man! EFF are very good in civil wars! They won’t make it in international arena! This i will say for as long as i live! Experience matter! Chose your words wisely! I THINK THE EFF are looking how constructive the president is AND PLEASE WHEN HE COME HOME GIVE HIM FHE RESPECT HE DESERVE! A standing ovartion a red carpet! Parliament is A RESPECTABLE PLACE of constructive critism giving each other a chance to talk! Not A POINT OF ORDER I AM RISING ON Point 14 of Artucle so and so! That we hear of every Paliamentary session coming from one source only EFF just to disrupt and destabilize peace! EFF we have 365 days in a year! You will have your turn to make a point, just be calm, cool and collected! Give a speaker a chance to exercise his/her duty! There us nk hurry in South Africa! Remember that acronym ?
True eff is good for wars but Ramaphosa leads international dignitaries into submission,,being radical sidelines you away from other sensible dignitaries...Malema is good but good for direct confrontations like wars
Unfortunately your comments are driven by Political obsessions, the fact that you managed to finally think about the Eff in your your comment with regard to Pre Ramaphosa's address, it's mainly caused by the fact and the political reality that You see the Eff for what it is, you couldn't talk about DA or any other party, it means you choose to ignore how mighty and great the Eff is, to a point that you compare it with the ruling party, you end up exposing your ignorance of being unable to differentiate the ruling party and the opposition, what do you expect the opposition to act like?? The anc as the ruling party will not act the same if it becomes an opposition, it is therefore the job of the opposition to oppose the Government with regard to corruption and maladministration. If eff becomes government and anc becomes opposition , the anc will be worse than the eff with radical approach when opposing certain matters
you're damn correct, i didn't include the DA as the main oposition for the obvious fact that they didn't disrupt the process of governing! They didn't ! The EFF exhibited cowardice ! If they have given President Ramaphosa a chance to talk and exercise his duty, it would have been wise! But they chose arrogance over dignity and respect! What did ANC do with the Nationalist government or National Party? They drove them to negotiations, CODESA was the term coined by ANC, Truth and reconciliation is the term coined by ANC, RDP is the brainchild of The mighty African National Congress the list goes on and on and on! COOL HEADED and COGITATION and use of BRAIN is what ANC is . The world saw that in President Ramaphosa! Someone who negotiated right through his political career! That is what African leadership comprises of!! The other African states men listen attentively with eagerness! Mr Ramaphosa coordinated what he spoke to Russia and Ukraine with what he is telling the western leaders! Have you ever seen someone with such skills? He brought in the reformation of international currency, and look how at the same time he allayed the anxiety of the other western presidents by saying don’t worry the currency issues will be on the next agenda and he further set that agenda by saying what he and the Egyptian president Sisi have been discussing, the trans Africa rail from Cape to Cairo. Do you know what this means? Let me give you my answer for I have plenty of answers NOT POLITICAL OBSESSION as you said! It means movement of goods to facilitate trade! Do you want my point of view to what Mr Ramaphosa is embarking upon? This is his ultimate aim! He want to quickly open talks regarding puting’s attendance of the BRICS summit, this is diplomatic manoeuvre! BUT I am not the fan of such sentiments! I just tell you what I already see him doing! My wish is that Mr Gutierrez UN General Secretary totally rejects that! To rubber stamp the image and credibility of international organisations I don’t know if you noticed that the president respect the international organisations? He spoke of multi literalism and relevant institutions there! So in this regard my point to you is this: The Western world will roll out the next century’s political system as it has done before! Communism has no place in this and the following generation! Puting and Shi Jimping are dictators they have demonstrated that by changing their country’s constitution! Let me send to you what Puting has done to his own people, maybe you will see why I say ICC’s warrant of his arrest must be stayed!www.thesun.co.uk/news/21658269/putin-killing-russian-elite-mob-boss/
@@bafostiti7125 okay! At the moment I wasn’t referring to war in conventional sense! I was using figure of speech! But trying to say unnecessary war of words and insults! A war needs someone who think strategically! But this I mean being able to read the enemy’s minds! Malema won’t be able to handle war, even civil war where you , like the one always was emanating between ANC supporters and Inkatha Freedom Party hostel dwellers! The Boipatong massacre! Those were difficult times!
@@benmotsumi5748 malema is too radical,abrasive,hot headed,agrressive, assertive,no nonsense ,straight facer ,but lacks emotional intelligence,,,you can easily work him emotionally and he can't handle complex situations like you mentioned ...Malema is like Russian lavrov,samora Machel,Trump ,etc
I love this generation of African presidents. Ramaphosa, Kagame, Museveni, Ruto, Abby and many others. You are our heroes. Stand tall and Africa will see the destiny it has been deprived of for centuries.🎉
Your excellency, Mr President, the smile n the flash in your eyes when, in your opening statement said to Pres. Lula: "Don't worry, the issue of currency is top of our list . We WILL discuss it at the BRICS summit." BOOM!! Notice fearlessly sent. Further key points. - We're not beggars. Dont give grain to us , send it to the open market. - Our sovereignity is very dear to us. - You filled us with RESENTMENT for hoarding vaccines n refused us to develop our own. - Is money more important than life? - Are african lives less important? Thank you Sir. SA n Africa is proud of you. History will record n honour u. Future generations will enjoy a better life because of the sacrifice you made in putting your seat on the line in the midst of mounting opposition n excessive, over the top criticism. Don't back down Sir. Free us from bondage, excessive, manipulation n mind games. WE WILL NOT STOP PRAYING FOR U as instructed by the bible. May God be with u. May He shield n protect u. Give divine wisdom n strength to soldier on. Just the sight of the anc shirt used to make me cringe, but I.m now seeing the emergence of the character which defines who SAns are. A character which sets them apart. God bless SA n all its people.
So rightly pointed by the president of South Africa. Global North is more important then global South as it seems. We need more people like him who can arrange things which aren't in right order. Many people in world don't know the politics behind vaccine, and how WHO is responsible for this mess , developing countries suffer the decision taken WHO. Many people died due to such politics. #shamsonbigpharma #WHO #globalnorth
Finally Africa seems to be waking up and it's leaders are beginning to speak truth to power. The courage of AA president is admirable. Let all other African presidents get this awakening put help put the continent is it's proper space.
Hayi uyathetha namhlanje he is telling them without fear. Waw ubaxelela isponono with no fear. Is this the president who is talking,?.What a message?Waw really this a message.
Yes, and most of the Leaders of many African Countries also NEED to put an end to corruption in their Countries, and as African Countries are mostly countries with great natural resources, it would be fundamental that their Leaders put in practice a real process of economic development of their countries, so that they can put an end to high levels of poverty, and allow an improvement in the standard of living of its populations, populations that, in most cases, do not even have access to drinking water and electricity, and to schools capable of properly educating their children. So it happens that , the word " inequality " to which the President of South Africa refers to is also fully applies to the ways of life , and of relationships , of the populations , within of many countries of the African continent . I’m really sorry but I can’t help but say that, there will be no doubt that the African continent deserves to have financial support from the most developed countries, but it is also true that this financial support must be used by African countries in such a way that it serves to support a true process of economic and social development of the countries. Africans, benefiting the population as a whole, is reducing the glaring inequalities that exist in the living standards of their populations. I think that the entire more developed world will be delighted for this to happen. And, so much so that Europe, and France in in particular , its schools and universities have been very open to the education of students from African countries .
I criticise Ramaphosa in a lot of things, and for this I must give him thumbs up....
Fair
He presents himself very well internationally. If he can only do the same locally and bring corruption to a halt, for starters people involved need to be arrested and put in prison.
He nailed it.
Excellent performance
same here.....he deserves a "Bells"...feel so proud to be a citizen

This man spoke from his heart and was beautifully delivered. I hope that the leaders of Africa stay firm on their beliefs and rise and evolve Africa to economic power. I am with you Africa. Now is the time!
This was powerful from president ramaphosa...Africa now has leaders
Well said Mr. President. Holding no punches. Taking no prisoners. That's what I want to see and hear all the time.
that "well said" might cost AGOA which is 15-20% from SA business earnings; another 50% business is coming mostly from the EU and if they turn their back to SA the rand is going drastically South- R30-35 for a dollar, eventually; then tell me how SA is going to trade internationally???
Out with the begging bowl, embarrassing. Why would anyone donate any money to the thieving governments of Africa.
Absolutely, like this version of our President. Wish I could see this decisivenesss here at home to re-charge our trust in him....SA citizens need that....
Mr. President...we value what you are doing for all Africans...you are the voice of Africa...i believe in your vision
Thank you my president, am so proud of you my president. Africa unite🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Mr President, your speech touched on critical and urgent matters. However, when something of this magnitude is driven by France, a country that is still a colonial power to 14 West African countries to this day 24 June 2023 leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. BRICS+ is rising and the de-dollarisation drive happening all over the world is a huge threat to the Bretton Woods establishment where Europe and America are major beneficiaries. So, a conference such as this makes me wonder why all of a sudden there's a new Global Financial Pact. Why all of a sudden.
This sounds a lot like Bretton Woods 3.0 to me. (2.0 was the Petro-dollar in 1971). I don't believe that the West has the best interest of the Global South at heart (especially Africa). I believe we are better off in focusing on BRICS Development Bank and as Africans let's unite and create an all-Africa Continental Currency for trade at least within the African Continent. The Capital you are asking for of $100 billion per year where do you think it's going to come from? America can create $5 trillion dollars in an instant to bail out their banks (2008-2009) and the repo Market (Sep 2019 to Mar 2020). Why must we as Africans borrow currency from these institutions. Why can't we create currency for our own infrastructure development that would be backed up by Gold, Oil and other minerals from various African nations. Why do we insist on making loans that come at a huge cost and bring a financial burden to generations of Africans.
For now, yes, due to lack of Financial Institutions in Africa, I understand a loan temporarily for infrastructure such as the Dam and Electricity grids is necessary because of the urgency but we definitely have to set up our own Financial Institutions that will fund our own infrastructure. Let us not expose ourselves and our children to debt slavery to countries that can create currency by the trillions in a snap of a finger.
thanks
Khaya from Johannesburg
Your full of wisdom bro!
Khya i agree
The western reps didn't look very comfortable with Ramaphosa's points
I am from Madagascar, but I’m proud of the boldness of President Ramaphosa. Praise God He can still use someone as He addresses to the nations🙏🙌
I love South Africa and South Africans- I Spent 8years wihtout any serious proplem with the people of South Africa I am so proud of the presidents speach may God bless Africa, South Africa in Particular.....all the way from Lusaka Zambia one love
🙏🙏🙏🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗
The summary notes presented by Ramaphosa is superb. Has touched the points he wanted to make. We expect as an African more from BRICS summit in August 2023.
The opening statement when the pres said the currency will be the top of the agenda at the Brics meeting, you can sense the quietness in the room, no matter how they take it, Brics should move forward with this plan. Nice one Mr Cyril
HERE! HERE!
Brah.i damn near heard a pin drop. They are probably cursing at ramaphosa inside.
😂😂😂😂 He had hit them very hard on the one . The courage he has knowing that he has protection of China and Russia is on another level.
Dumza you spot on that when our president said currency is no 1top priority in the BRICS Agenda. He was also smiling after that you just saw red faces.
BAM!
Thank you Mr President, well said 👏👏
❤❤❤Good president you presented us well
He is good at making demands from others, but cannot do what he must do at home.
I take my hat off to you President Cyril Ramaphosa for talking so boldly to the European Leaders without any reservations or making any compromises. I am saying "Raise Africa Raise" because the time is now to claim for a permanent seat at the UN table.
talking boldly doesn't mean he says the right words; he doesn't want to beg for money but wants promises to be fulfilled, I guess they will be fulfilled one day as the ANC fulfils their promises to the people
Thank you, my President. RISE AFRICA
Oh man, when President Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 called out the “Superpowers” on how they treated Africa pertaining covid vaccines, I felt it. And I just love how hard he his going for Africa,Amandel Awethu✊🏽! Greetings from Namibia 🇳🇦
"treated Africa pertaining covid vaccines..."
You sound like vaccines grow on trees. Vaccines are something you develop, and there is absolutely nothing preventing Africa from developing all sorts of vaccines... What's holding you back?
WAKE UP!!!! You're president is part of the WEF!!!
This is my president, so proud of you. Well said.❤❤❤
Covid revealed a lot. I dont think there's any African who did not learn from that episode
My President, I salute you.
Proud of you Mr President! From DRC.
African citizens do feel represented ......thank you Mr President for being so vocal...Salute Mr Ramaphosa !!
WAKE UP!!!! You're president is part of the WEF!!!!!!
Bravo Mr. President! I think every person of color should be proud to have you as a brother. Love this guy!
We are not Equal to these whites and Arabs, we are greater than them. They should be bowing down to us by now. I'm tired of all this weak talk.
and many whites too!
WAKE UP!!!! You're president is part of the WEF!!!
As an American, it makes me so happy to see African leaders stand up
As an American, look inside your own country and solve the idiotic things happening there
They've always been standing up.. it's just now they cannot be shoved under the rug by assassination.. or overthrow of government.. you can look in the western leaders eyes they do not want to play fair.. they've had over 70 years since world war II.. but greed and racism and exploitation was the order of the day.. now they because of our inability to playfair.. Russia and China has swooped in and have found favor! Bad choices on our part!
Rise Africa rise, now this President Ramaphosa I know.
Good work. African leaders- forthright, unapologetic,focused, visionary and confident of the tasks, responsibility and needs of the African people.
Finally, Africa is getting leaders of great vision, vigour and tenacity. Thank you for making a case for Africa, Mr. President.
Hopeless turncoat and communist leader. Just like Dingaan.
اكبر المختلسون
انضر الى جنوب افريقيا كيف اصبحت لا امن ولآآمآن ولا عمل
we voting for ANC....this looks promising
Yebo Yebo
Exactly, so that your children can suffer. Ramaphosa is smart but unfortunately his party is corrupt to the core. Keep voting for them so they can finish off this country completely.
Thanks Mr President !
Well said Mr president well said❤. For me this easily ranks in the top 5 political presidential speeches on the world stage iv ever heard. Spoke eloquently without mincing words. Said what he needed to for the entire continent and made it clear that Africa should be treated with kuch more sincerity and respect. Aaah man round of applause sir and hats off😊 to you for this excellent address
H.E Cyril Ramaphosa 🔥🔥🔥🔥 his audible and clear voice, calm voice but firm voice. Intellect and articulation, good speech, Africa is rising, its either they sit at our table in fairness or we separate, too much history here, only way is forward for Africa 🇿🇲
Africa is too rich to continue to settle for anything less than fairness and equality.
Africa was very quiet over Sudan?
@@Amanzi379 Ya hey the situation there is bad
I like when he says ("we were not there for a begging mission") I believe Africa has a lot than going there for begging.These point makes me happy because there are people who think Africa knows only begging from the West and Europe.That was to open up a black Sea channel.
The look on their faces they did not expect this. They think talks like this should be done behind closed doors.
Well spoken salute ramaphosa
His remarks on the Africa peace mission on Russia - Ukraine issue and the posture Africa is adopting as an equal global force have set the tone for a really good monday.
Thank you for representing, i want to take him out to an appreciation dinner. He did well
Very focused on what the people need
Well articulated Mr President🇿🇦🤌🏾
You can see from their faces that's they are not confortable 😂😂😂 im proud of him
Right they look mad asf
I saw that too. We are rising from the ashes. Africans are strong, and that is why they are uncomfortable.
@@LittletiktokStore I've been waiting for this comment 😂😂😂
May be a little bewildered. He said Africa is not beggars - and then he proceeded to beg for just about everything.
Amazing President Ramaphosa. Well said.
Well spoken Mr President .
I like how he has been taking charge lately hope he keeps it up
Gotta love that currency comment at the start of the speech🤣🤣🤣. All Africans are proud of you Mr President
😂😂😂 he slid it in there like a thorn in a wound
He is my President with or without this committee
The expressions on all their faces throughout the speech shows the impact of that comment! The light at the end of our African tunnel is getting brighter as the rest fades away.
These presentation of African president is very commendable, please keep it up our leaders.
My brothers in Africa...really impressive and pertinent. He has spoken from his heart and from facts and reality..he is the African Man..yes lets unite against those who think Africa is weak and beggar..
I am proud of our president 🙏 right now he show hes leadership 💯🇿🇦💯💯 lets continue doing that 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
No electricity at home and you are proud.
@@thebible-lennynair7921 watch from 10:53. He did talk about being practical and fixing the electricity issue in africa. I do feel your pain but he did address it. Now we have to wait and see it practically. 🤦
@@thebible-lennynair7921 yes l am proud and please don't respond, respond to yourself because l will go nowhere 😌🙃
Great speech Mr Ramaphosa, very rational speech and straight to the point.
I would like to Commend you Mr President, great address... Keep it up ❤😊👌🙏
Well said indeed my President
This bring pride to my heart. Our interest must be ventilated. Thank you President Ramaphosa
God bless Africa.
I love you ramaphosa, thank you for your courage and leadership. May all of Africa UNITE as one force.
Now that’s my president 👌
Bravo 👏🏽 👍🏽 to the SA 🇿🇦 president he really put him on the spot and he should.
Africans aren’t beggars. We have to be treated equally. If you can’t supply us medicines, allow us to manufacture ours . We have the brains 🧠 here in Africa.
Why are you all asking permission....you have been given herbs, plants, and fruits to heal the body. The powers that be on the U.S are trying to stop us from taking charge of our own health.
Here speaking is the guy who was called the negotiator and author of the best constitution in the world, very Presidential Mr President🔥🔥🔥🔥
Our constitution is not the best. 😅
@theonly6359 Which one is better than ours ????
You made me proud Mr Pres. My Black President....respect. This is what we are known to be like in South Africa. 🇿🇦🇿🇦👌👌
Very proud President that knows economics we a happy about you keep good for Africans
Oh my fellow Africans! Rise up to the occasion! If they can, YES we can! Tnx Mr. President my making us very very proud! ❤❤❤ from Lib!
Well done, this is the new world, no more exploitation. We are equal. The interest of African come first.🤝❤
I am incredibly thankful that Zuma is not our president, and it's hard to imagine him delivering such closing remarks. Despite his imperfections, the current president has truly saved us from numerous potential disasters.
😂
😂😂🤣
BRICS is, because of Zuma. Do not be quick to judge him.
It was Zuma that put us in Brics boy
😂😂😂😂😂
Strong words 👏🏾👏🏾
Zero (positive) action. Always hiding behind the group - the AU or BRICS: the hallmark of a true loser.
This is Great and powerful speech by South African leader.❤❤ it is real truth under this earth...
This is how somebidy share their thought in the conserted world! I SALUTE YOU MR PRESIDENT This us the way a leader make his mark! Where would EFF stand in this capacity? Nowhere near this top level and highly analytical discussion !
I just hope South Africans are listening and observing the credentuals of this man! EFF are very good in civil wars! They won’t make it in international arena! This i will say for as long as i live! Experience matter! Chose your words wisely! I THINK THE EFF are looking how constructive the president is AND PLEASE WHEN HE COME HOME GIVE HIM FHE RESPECT HE DESERVE! A standing ovartion a red carpet!
Parliament is A RESPECTABLE PLACE of constructive critism giving each other a chance to talk! Not A POINT OF ORDER I AM RISING ON Point 14 of Artucle so and so! That we hear of every Paliamentary session coming from one source only EFF just to disrupt and destabilize peace! EFF we have 365 days in a year! You will have your turn to make a point, just be calm, cool and collected! Give a speaker a chance to exercise his/her duty! There us nk hurry in South Africa! Remember that acronym ?
True eff is good for wars but Ramaphosa leads international dignitaries into submission,,being radical sidelines you away from other sensible dignitaries...Malema is good but good for direct confrontations like wars
Unfortunately your comments are driven by Political obsessions, the fact that you managed to finally think about the Eff in your your comment with regard to Pre Ramaphosa's address, it's mainly caused by the fact and the political reality that You see the Eff for what it is, you couldn't talk about DA or any other party, it means you choose to ignore how mighty and great the Eff is, to a point that you compare it with the ruling party, you end up exposing your ignorance of being unable to differentiate the ruling party and the opposition, what do you expect the opposition to act like?? The anc as the ruling party will not act the same if it becomes an opposition, it is therefore the job of the opposition to oppose the Government with regard to corruption and maladministration. If eff becomes government and anc becomes opposition , the anc will be worse than the eff with radical approach when opposing certain matters
you're damn correct, i didn't include the DA as the main oposition for the obvious fact that they didn't disrupt the process of governing! They didn't ! The EFF exhibited cowardice ! If they have given President Ramaphosa a chance to talk and exercise his duty, it would have been wise! But they chose arrogance over dignity and respect! What did ANC do with the Nationalist government or National Party? They drove them to negotiations, CODESA was the term coined by ANC, Truth and reconciliation is the term coined by ANC, RDP is the brainchild of The mighty African National Congress the list goes on and on and on! COOL HEADED and COGITATION and use of BRAIN is what ANC is . The world saw that in President Ramaphosa! Someone who negotiated right through his political career! That is what African leadership comprises of!! The other African states men listen attentively with eagerness! Mr Ramaphosa coordinated what he spoke to Russia and Ukraine with what he is telling the western leaders! Have you ever seen someone with such skills? He brought in the reformation of international currency, and look how at the same time he allayed the anxiety of the other western presidents by saying don’t worry the currency issues will be on the next agenda and he further set that agenda by saying what he and the Egyptian president Sisi have been discussing, the trans Africa rail from Cape to Cairo. Do you know what this means? Let me give you my answer for I have plenty of answers NOT POLITICAL OBSESSION as you said! It means movement of goods to facilitate trade!
Do you want my point of view to what Mr Ramaphosa is embarking upon? This is his ultimate aim! He want to quickly open talks regarding puting’s attendance of the BRICS summit, this is diplomatic manoeuvre! BUT I am not the fan of such sentiments! I just tell you what I already see him doing! My wish is that Mr Gutierrez UN General Secretary totally rejects that! To rubber stamp the image and credibility of international organisations
I don’t know if you noticed that the president respect the international organisations? He spoke of multi literalism and relevant institutions there! So in this regard my point to you is this: The Western world will roll out the next century’s political system as it has done before! Communism has no place in this and the following generation! Puting and Shi Jimping are dictators they have demonstrated that by changing their country’s constitution! Let me send to you what Puting has done to his own people, maybe you will see why I say ICC’s warrant of his arrest must be stayed!www.thesun.co.uk/news/21658269/putin-killing-russian-elite-mob-boss/
@@bafostiti7125 okay! At the moment I wasn’t referring to war in conventional sense! I was using figure of speech! But trying to say unnecessary war of words and insults! A war needs someone who think strategically! But this I mean being able to read the enemy’s minds! Malema won’t be able to handle war, even civil war where you , like the one always was emanating between ANC supporters and Inkatha Freedom Party hostel dwellers! The Boipatong massacre! Those were difficult times!
@@benmotsumi5748 malema is too radical,abrasive,hot headed,agrressive, assertive,no nonsense ,straight facer ,but lacks emotional intelligence,,,you can easily work him emotionally and he can't handle complex situations like you mentioned ...Malema is like Russian lavrov,samora Machel,Trump ,etc
I love this generation of African presidents. Ramaphosa, Kagame, Museveni, Ruto, Abby and many others. You are our heroes. Stand tall and Africa will see the destiny it has been deprived of for centuries.🎉
No bro not all the theme b/c Abey is assassin man he killed one million people right now
Africa Arise!!!!
Don't make a mistake, Abiy is genocider. He is not even at those amazing leaders level. He is ignorant and fake leader.
Remove Musaveni from the list.
Very proud of President Rhamaphosa on his closing remarks!
This is a leadership we need in Africa viva south Africa president
You are representing us and our interests mr President
Your excellency, Mr President, the smile n the flash in your eyes when, in your opening statement said to Pres. Lula:
"Don't worry, the issue of currency is top of our list . We WILL discuss it at the BRICS summit."
BOOM!! Notice fearlessly sent.
Further key points.
- We're not beggars. Dont give grain to us , send it to the open market.
- Our sovereignity is very dear to us.
- You filled us with RESENTMENT for hoarding vaccines n refused us to develop our own.
- Is money more important than life?
- Are african lives less important?
Thank you Sir. SA n Africa is proud of you. History will record n honour u. Future generations will enjoy a better life because of the sacrifice you made in putting your seat on the line in the midst of mounting opposition n excessive, over the top criticism.
Don't back down Sir. Free us from bondage, excessive, manipulation n mind games.
WE WILL NOT STOP PRAYING FOR U as instructed by the bible.
May God be with u. May He shield n protect u. Give divine wisdom n strength to soldier on.
Just the sight of the anc shirt used to make me cringe, but I.m now seeing the emergence of the character which defines who SAns are. A character which sets them apart.
God bless SA n all its people.
...."Prayers",.......thank you Musa !!!
Me too lm very proud of you my president ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 💕 💖 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
So rightly pointed by the president of South Africa.
Global North is more important then global South as it seems.
We need more people like him who can arrange things which aren't in right order.
Many people in world don't know the politics behind vaccine, and how WHO is responsible for this mess , developing countries suffer the decision taken WHO.
Many people died due to such politics. #shamsonbigpharma #WHO #globalnorth
Finally Africa seems to be waking up and it's leaders are beginning to speak truth to power. The courage of AA president is admirable. Let all other African presidents get this awakening put help put the continent is it's proper space.
Africa has enough water, fertile land, more than enough people. What Africa needs are wise leaders, incorrupt leaders...and that is lacking.
Absolutely right
Yes. Where are they ? All smooth talkers, but action & results are sadly lacking
Well done Mr President 🇨🇩🇿🇦🌍🔥
Africa doesn't need charity but justice
Well, justice in Africa is something you make in Africa. Justice in Europe is made in Europe.
👏🏽👏🏽 Aux Président Sud Africain. Un discours lucide et intelligent.
But he can't keep the lights on!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾Africa stand together stay united!
Mr President 🎉.🔥🔥🔥🔥 well spoken...
Yes my king
Hayi uyathetha namhlanje he is telling them without fear. Waw ubaxelela isponono with no fear. Is this the president who is talking,?.What a message?Waw really this a message.
Wow may God bless you mr. President ramaphosa and all of you!!
Yes he needs to fight for this country
Yes, and most of the Leaders of many African Countries also NEED to put an end to corruption in their Countries, and as African Countries are mostly countries with great natural resources, it would be fundamental that their Leaders put in practice a real process of economic development of their countries, so that they can
put an end to high levels of poverty, and allow an improvement in the standard of living of its populations, populations that, in most cases, do not even have access to drinking water and electricity, and to schools capable of properly educating their children. So it happens that , the word " inequality " to which the President of South Africa refers to is also fully applies to the ways of life , and of relationships , of the populations , within of many countries of the African continent .
I’m really sorry but I can’t help but say that, there will be no doubt that the African continent deserves to have financial support from the most developed countries, but it is also true that this financial support must be used by African countries in such a way that it serves to support a true process of economic and social development of the countries. Africans, benefiting the population as a whole, is reducing the glaring inequalities that exist in the living standards of their populations. I think that the entire more developed world will be delighted for this to happen. And, so much so that Europe, and France in
in particular , its schools and universities have been very open to the education of students from African countries .
