Side note: They want phasing out of coal. While we are still busy phasing it in (Kusile)

And Germany gets...?

Give or loan?

Also...

"reported that the aim of the funding is to mobilise a total of R130 billion dollars together"

And Germany gets...?

not war reparations

Bonus time for the FotherMuckers! Germany should rather send their expertise and construction teams to build whatever they propose. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY - it will not be used for the intended purpose!
This applies to the pledges from the USA and United Kingdom too.

And Germany gets...?

Lots of orders for new luxury vehicles.

Unless they're physically going to be here and manage the spend of all that, they should rather just flush it down the toilet.

Hence the question: what does Germany get out of all this.

Wow, hey Germany, rather give me a permanent residency permit, I would appreciate that more. Surely you know this lot in charge will piss all that money away on fancy cars and Johnnie Walker

 

[PaulMurkin]

And Germany gets...?

sweet jack all.. they think they'll get something, or rather this is just another conscience cleanse exercise

 

[ConfusedR]

And Germany gets...?

Rather Germany than China

 

[Ragnarök]

And Germany gets...?

Some woke points

It's weird that these types of questions aren't asked by our Journalists. There's no such thing as free money.

No sir, asking that kind of question gets you into trouble.. you'll lose your job, and worse.
But I was once told, not sure how true this is, that Germany feels guilt for Africa's woes, and likely they want to soothe their conscience. Or we are all being trolled, but I'd expect Germans to be smarter than that, surely they realize these asswipes in government cannot be trusted?

 

[etienne_marais]

I think in this case it is simply because Germany takes climate change and the environment very seriously.

1 broom = €1 million

Cadre needs some moneeeeeyyyyyyy

 

[My_King]

At this stage why not also increase VAT to 25%.

I'd much rather it be China. At least that way, sure, we'll be colonised, but we'll actually get some infrastructure built. A Euro donation will be eaten by a handful of cadres and the rest of us wont get ****.
