SOUTH AFRICANS: ‘THAT’S ALL HE DOES, TRAVEL WITHOUT PURPOSE’
@MLANDO60870174: “That is all what he is the president for, flying all over without purpose.”
@thehollowtree2: “Has he not wasted enough money flying around the world?”
@bhadelaLo_zola: “He could send a deputy president or a minister if he is busy doing what should concern him daily. Winnings in sports are a single achievement that wear off in a month and do not necessarily attach to him as his own while national problems that run rampant remain stark.”
@merckx_peter: “All these African leaders are more in an airplane then in their own bed. At the same are their countries going down with more and more people that are hungry.”
