- A bill has been submitted to the United States congress calling for a full review of the country’s relations with South Africa. This came after the International Court of Justice ruled in favour of South Africa that it's plausible that Israel has committed acts of genocide in Gaza. The bill accuses Pretoria of being inconsistent with its policy of nonalignment in international affairs. And that South Africa is siding with America’s adversaries including Hamas, Russia and China. International Law Expert from the University of Johannesburg, Prof Hennie Strydom weighs in.

SA must decouple from the US. AGOA benefits the US and not South Africa. South Africa has been the cash-cow of the US for too long.
😂😂😂😂😂wow you should work for the ANC
@@froloejoe9081 I am an Operation Dudula voter. South Africa for South Africans. South African First! America for Americans. Asia for Asians. Europe for Europeans. I have never seen an African treated with dignity and respect in America, Asia and Europe. I have never seen an African benefitting in anyway in America, Asia and Europe. All these looters and thieves of our wealth in this continent must leave. Out!👉👉👉👉
The problem is we need the US donations. South Africa does not produce enough wealth to survive. And we lose a lot of money to Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Somalia, Pakistan, India and China.
They must F go
This is very bad for RSA.
If ypu are paying more money for less food compared to last year then you are getting poorer.
South Africa currently has a budget deficit. Deficit means RSA is paying out more money than RSA is generating. a Budget surplus is when the country is spending less than the country is receiving(which it is not).
RSA loans currently stands at 77℅ of the yearly gdp. This is the highest outstanding debt to gdp Rsa has ever had. Pakistans economy collapsed at I think 87℅. Usa cannot be used as a benchmark as more than 50℅ of their currency is used outside of their country.
IDK why the Anc is spending money we do not have. Maybe the Anc think it will cause people to vote for them. Maybe they want our economy to fail. Maybe they want hyperinflation before we can get a chance to have an election. IDK.
I just know RSA cannot afford the loss of agoa, not now. IDK where all this hate is coming from, but I think its best to start focussing on growing RSA and what is good for RSA.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Once we get threatened, we get to wise up and look for alternative. Wise men can't fully lean on unstable pillar (economic pillars of the west), while he can learn self reliance like Russians and our apparteight system did while under sunctions
Not with ANC. ANC will sleep till this country reach Zimbabwe level
NHI is an American program and salaries of government employees called conditional grants are paid for by America.Nuclear at Koeberg comes from the US.Give me alternatives on those.
There is nothing that South Africa benefits from AGOA. AGOA benefits US businesses in South Africa. AGOA must be cancelled, we do not want it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣USA is the biggest buyer of South African goods you fool
Don't post comments if you have half a brain....😮
You really have a Intellectual Disability
South Africa is giving the America the sleepless nights
But soon it's going to be the other way around when the ANC can't pay grants and the masses are starving to death
@gordongraham2003 SA is richer than its ever been. Your fantasies just tell everyone that you're delusional
@@gordongraham2003South Africa got alot of other trading partners. South Africa doesn't need America
Huh?!@@inshansep
Typical ANC mentality
This is why a unipolar world is such a dangerous thing. We should just accept this, pain is unavailable, America must do what America wants to do.
Have the agents found Pandora yet, just asking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Only wise people know that there is independence from American financial system that controls the world and once you challenge the America they will cut of completely and Zimbabwe situation will be the order of the day, so when south African politicians tangos without america they should take responsibility for the suffering of south Africans if things goes bad
So much for preaching democracy
Democracy has nothing to do with this...
America just like south africa,has the right to choose who to do business with.
Please do your own research and not listen to News Journalist. No one is talking about this in America: only 2 congressmen out 533 congressmen who raised the issue. SA is not important on the American Landscape:

Do your research people !!!
Does this mean its either a long wait, or just an idea? I just know we cant afford any bad ties with anyone at the moment. I mean, usa gave us money in covid time, we have people here work home based in america, we get so much from usa that we really cant afford to loose them. Yet, what has russia, china and palestine etc done for RSA as a country. Only helped the ruling party and colonialised from the east
@@Belnivista_edt it’s a non issue and the news media likes to reprogram peoples thinking to not think for themselves !!
Economic Sanctions 🙆
Non alignment has never been an issue. SA is non aligned in Russia-Ukraine war, but we’ve made it clear that we are with the Palestinians.. we always have been. We have always called out Israel for apartheid. The US has always chosen to ignore it until we brought it to the international stage.
South Africa is a terrorist state which allows 27000 of its citizens to be brutally murdered every year
And failed at every corner😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
AGOA must be abolished in Africa the way Slavery was abolished in the 1800s
Double standard of rsa
Economy count today not ideologies
South Africa is not neutral. China and India are neutral. Soon Brics will only really comprise neutral countries who contribute to advancement of human kind. South Africa is no longer a country that innovates, it just consumes what others innovate. This is an empirical fact. So having big egos that we dont need the west, does not mean the east will allow us to ride on them for free. When SA coal and iron ore runs out, we will realise, we add no real value to anyone in the east and they will realise it too.
More hungar
More poverty
More starvation
Proudly brought to you by Pandora and her ANC circus
We are tired of the same fear mongering tactics, find something new.
The US congress is entirely corrupted and guilty of genocide in Palestine! A majority of Americans want a permanent ceasefire and we are ignored. We are experiencing more hunger, poverty and starvation here because our tax dollars are spent on endless wars to maintain hegemony over the world that benefit the elite at the expense of the majority. The world is changing. The US is a dying empire that must-stop threatening , sanctioning, bombing . Now is the time to support all efforts for peace , stability and cooperation.
@@wahwah7701its a reality not fear just think how many companies are from america. state.gov stated +600 and many as HQs no less. Unemployment will probably hit +40% and if america wants to be a real "square" can do a china and says SA must pay its dept immediately killing SAs economy
@@cloudstrife8791 First of all South Africa doesn't owe America anything. Secondly if America removes there companies out of SA its America who will actually loose because all those companies that left SA would be replaced with companies that sell the same things that the one's that left but from BRICS nations meaning Chinesse companies would replace American companies easly in SA to close the gap that were caused by American companies leaving. By doing so the South African economy would continue to thrive and those American companies that were I'm SA would go bankrupt and cease to exist. American companies are replaceable they are not the only ones in the world that sell whatever there companies sell, there are many other countries companies that sell the same things and some are even better than the American versions of those products.
@@cloudstrife8791 Russia did the same thing when Europe sanctioned them and all European companies left Russia, that worked out fine for Russia because still the Russian economy is thriving and even better than before.
Why always this South African news channel come up with the stupid profs, it's a disgrace
