🇿🇦 South Africa - Minister Addresses United Nations General Debate, 77th Session (English)

Naledi Pandor, Minister for International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa, addresses the general debate of the 77th Session of the General Assembly of the UN (New York, 20 - 26 September 2022).
The UN General Assembly (UNGA) is the main policy-making organ of the Organization. Comprising all Member States, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues covered by the Charter of the United Nations. Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations has an equal vote.
The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945. Currently made up of 193 Member States, the UN and its work are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter.
The UN has evolved over the years to keep pace with a rapidly changing world.
But one thing has stayed the same: it remains the one place on Earth where all the world’s nations can gather together, discuss common problems, and find shared solutions that benefit all of humanity.

Beautiful address. This articulates Africa's position on global issues. The continent shouldn't be forced by bullies who only appear to remember there's a rules based order when it suits their immediate and selfish interests.

[@veronmath3264]

What she says is just a story of being a smooth talker no implication. It's a long-time thing, it's not gonna work African people think these former colony languages work and they compare themselves with their former school who are not doing well in life and they say see we are prominent people because we can enter the HOUSE of UNGA. Whatever they say has no effect on the western countries and sits are empty as she talks

We are actually respectful, which is perceived as weakness and perhaps lack of intelligence but it is none of that. It is called humanity, true humanity which consists of respect for others, humility and an understanding that you are a person because of others. the same can not be said about some people. Africans leave and breath humanity which sets them apart from the rest. Reason why they do not have a record of invading others and having other's blood on their hands. They don't even seek to dominate, loot or ruin anyone, they just want to leave their African lifes. The attitude of self importance actually dominates the actions and decisions of those other people, but there is a reckoning coming. The world was reminded of Africa's relevance and importance in March and April UN votes.

The English command is perfect the understanding of any subject matter under her command is also of high standard. This is the kind of quality I appreciate🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦💃🏻. Naledi for President- successor to President Ramaphosa. I wish Our representatives at international level should take example from Naledi Pandor.

[@andiswatsewana4448]

Nosipho I beg to differ with your notion that asserts that the command of Enlgish language makes reflects the level of intelligence & respect that one deserves. This is a neocolonial view of thinking that English heritage is better than others yet that is not the case. What matters is the content, and yes our Naledi Pandoor has proven that she deserves her seat on the table with the likes of India's Kaishankar, Russia's Lavrov, Hungary's Peter, etc. In fact her command of English deterred many South Africans from taking her serious, it was only when we decided to listen to what is beyond that accent that we realised her value in SA politics.

[@nosiphosobekwa9316]

@@andiswatsewana4448 : Sorry, do you really think I don’t know that position. I support your position only here in South Africa. That is international level, UN, which I attended for many years. You need to articulate there, and English is one of the 5 or 6 chosen languages , nothing else. If she can’t articulate in English, the only language she knows , nobody will understand her. She did very well. To come to your level, UN is not SA. Your sentiments can make sense out of the UN premises, whether you like it or not. Let’s learn to appreciate good work.

[@nosiphosobekwa9316]

@@andiswatsewana4448 : Above all South Africans speak AFRIKAANS ENGLISH. I believe Naledi did very well to pick up the British accent. I speak Xhosa English, but not Afrikaans English. I am proud of that. I also wish I can speak Zulu like Zulus, not via Sepedi. It is as simple as all that, girl. So, hands off Naledi, she did very well for you at the time when SA doesn’t care about professionals like her. Hating English is not taking anybody anywhere- you won’t reverse the world, model Cs don’t even know their languages, they speak English. I won’t answer everything you have said.

REFORM UN - The United Nations must of course, itself, be transformed so that it serves its role, cognizant of current global dynamics. it is unacceptable that, 77 years after its establishment, 5 nations wield this disproportionate decision-making power in the united nations system as a whole. Transformation of the UN must include more representative, transparent and accountable organs of global governments. For this body to be effective, the General Assembly must be revitalized. The Security Council must be reformed. We also cannot have a credible organization if it cannot hold persistent transgressors of the charter to account." ~ Naledi Pandor, Minister for International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa

[@honesty_-no9he]

What does that mean?

[@thehogus]

​@@honesty_-no9he It means that Naledi Pandor's government is currently doing its best to implement expropriation without compensation bills in South Africa. The same policy that destroyed Zimbabwe's economy while the ANC practiced quiet diplomacy for decades. And now she's calling on the international community to somehow save Zimbabwe? Meanwhile, no one wants to invest in South African infrastructure because they don't know if it will end up nationalized. And even if they wanted to, the ANC won't approve power generation projects unless they personally get a kickback. So yes, Naledi has a wonderful voice and speaks beautifully, but the corruption of her party currently has all South Africans sitting in the dark for ten hours a day.
