International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor says lobby group AfriForum will not be allowed to dictate whether the government will provide humanitarian assistance to Cuba.

AfriForum approached the courts and succeeded in interdicting the Department of International Relations and Cooperation from donating R50 million to Cuba.

On Thursday, Pandor said the lobby group would not dictate to the government how it should operate.

She was answering questions in the National Council of Provinces.

Cuba really needs it.

The people in South Africa don't deserve it.

Kiss the Farmer!

Something like that. Really trying to get into the South African mindset.

Going to go rename my dog now.
It's basically like money laundering.

That's why Cuba trains SA pilots and doctors for "free". This "donation" is one of the ways ANC pays the Cuban government.

The other method is the "Cuban Consultants" coming over here.

This vetkop forgets its taxpayer money, not theirs to do with as they wish. Or maybe she wants Afriforum to bow down when she enters the room too?

Someone should explain democracy to them, maybe Africa would be less of a shithole once they start embracing it.

Tax money is their money and they have been doing what they want with it for decades. Democracy boils down to 1 man 1 vote and SA is 100% democratic, the people of SA are happy with this government.

Why does the ANC love Cuba so much? What do they get in return?

It looks like they just did Naledi.

Well I suppose technically the court did that, but let's not split hairs.

Even President Cyril Ramaphosa said health items, and not money, would be donated to Cuba.
OUR OWN PEOPLE ARE GIVING BIRTH IN CORRIDORS AS A RESULT OF LACK OF RESOURCES WHILE YOU WANT TO GIVE AWAY RESOURCES TO OTHER COUNTRIES. Are all these ANC leaders psychopaths with no sense of empathy FFS?

Oh you want some more fun on the repairs.. many of them are more than likely going to be put on hold because they're now possibly investigating the awarding of the contracts.
