LIVE: US-South Africa Row Escalates, US to Boycott G20? | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G
A diplomatic spat between the United States and South Africa is threatening to undermine global cooperation, particularly within the G20, following controversial land redistribution policy in the African nation. The conflict stems from new South African legislation allowing for the expropriation of land without compensation under certain circumstances, a move that has drawn sharp criticism from US officials and Elon Musk, who has labeled the laws "openly racist." Tensions escalated this week after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he would not attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg this month. Musk, who was born in South Africa, has been particularly vocal about his opposition to the land reform policy. He has publicly criticised the legislation and appears to be influencing US policy towards South Africa. Despite a phone call between South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Musk, the billionaire’s stance remains firm, as evidenced by his support for Rubio’s boycott of the G20 meeting. Rubio's decision has also raised questions about Washington's commitment to the G20. On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma tells you more.

Palki does not talk about the corruption in South Africa, where one president after another has enriched himself on the cost of the broader population. And she does not mention the terror against the population committed by Winnie Mandela and later.

[@flezybite6761]

Black SA are the original owners of the land. If you guys don't like it, go to hell. Who invited you to Africa. You stole people's land, plunder their valuables, scam their vulnerable ancestors, and even kill them, yet you're still to collect their lands for free. That's imperialism.

[@thandugonose9769]

She has not mentioned a lot of things, including blacks and coloreds that are living in box of matches houses while the others stay in mansions in Cape Town.

Actually, he's been the most active president in history. He says what he's going to do and then does it. On Gaza, have you seen the destruction? Who can live there at all at the moment? With South Africa, laws are put into place for a reason, sometimes good reasons, sometimes bad ones. This law was made intentionally to validate stealing land.

Well done Rubio and Trump. We in South Africa hate DEI and expropriation of land without compensation. South Africa is being destroyed by DEI. DEI here in SA is called BEE and minority races don't get certain jobs because of this! It's reverse apartheid! Our infrastructure is crumbling and service delivery is collapsing!

He has the right to say what he wants. That's a benefit of America. Furthermore, who has, as a race, Trump treated badly? A true leftist statement.

[@King_sivva]

@ first I neither vote for the left nor the right. Second did I say trump personally treated anyone badly? I said fix America first before he judged another country bc America ain’t better.

[@hottake8940]

@King_sivva it's been less than a month. Lol, it takes time to turn any disaster around, economic or otherwise. He has hit the ground running, though, and by FY26 we will start to see the difference, especially if he actually uses federal assets (buy, sell, loan) to remove national debt as he's proposed. That would only increase the dollar value while remaining steady at less than 2% inflation. I'm not saying for sure he'll pull it off bc he'll need some form of bipartisan agreements to utilize the full effects, but the proposal is sound.

South Africa is a sovereign nation not US colony, Trump with his lapdog Musk have no business there. As South Africans we are capable to address our problems without foreign interference, so Trump must stay out of our internal affairs and mind his business in US as he is an elected president there. If he wants to take aids away, he is very welcome to do so and that will be a blessing to us cause I don't remember a single day that we people of South Africa beg for it. We are well prepared to defend our sovereignty no matter what cost will be.

This I would like to say to Palaki. You should rather start with Hello, Namaskar. This is Firstpost and you're watching Vantage with Palaki Sharma. That "with me" doesn't go well. Love the enthusiasm and energy that you bring to the news, but if you relax and find your natural speaking, you can avoid the fumbles. Your news is different and inclined towards the facts compared to all the nonsense I have watched for the last 30 years on national TV in India. But I just can't miss a single day of updates from Vantage. Brilliant.

[@user-je7pc2mp5e]

*_"Your news is different and inclined towards the facts"_* The reason you people have to keep repeating this in the comment section shows that Palki is not fact based. If she was really fact based, her promotion in the comment section wouldn't have been necessary.
