That horse has bolted

That horse has bolted

Because an Iranian tried to 'mount' it.

I said horse. Not goat.

He said what this government has been trying to pretend it isn't pursuing - deeper ties with nations considered to be anti-western.

Just unfortunate for DIRCO and the country as a whole that someone on an official visit made their personal opinions known without official diplomatic channels/protocol being considered (just like that Rasool fella).

Yep, it's quite clear what he said.

“We always stand alongside the oppressed and defenceless people of the world,” Maphwanya said.

He condemned Israel and called for deeper military ties with Iran, emphasising his visit carried a “political message.”

Cyril is going to have to do quite a bit of explaining to Trump next time the lights are dimmed.

He said what this government sent him to say

No-one is going to believe he said all that on his own

That would be pointless. The facade the ANC has been trying to portray of being neutral has long since slipped.

We were pretending to be neutral on the Russo-Ukraine war whilst being used by Russia as a mouthpiece. Taiwan was told to move out of Pretoria and now the repeated own goals with Iran and Hamas.

All we need to do now is show some love to the Rocketman in Pyongyang.

Trump will know exactly where we stand and who we are aligning with.
