🤣🤣 Good one! In an interview with the Sunday Times which was published today, Lamola said that Bozell must ‘get out of the kitchen’ if he no longer believes in diplomatic engagements with Pretoria.

Awww, bwana Bozo the third is hurt in his feels. Again. This uppity African country just won't bow and scrape to his "leadership".

Screenshot of a post by U.S. Ambassador to South Africa: "So here we go again. Another Minister Lamola personal insult aimed at an American leader (this time me) which, when denounced (which I’m doing now), will result in a demarche with a lecture about being “undiplomatic.” And then the South African government wonders why relations are collapsing."

Call me crazy but, seven months in, that we're still not reporting, "HOLY SHIT why won't Trump appoint real experts to negotiate with Iran instead of his family and his crypto business partner" is part of why we're here.

Spending a leisurely Sunday morning on the balcony in the hills of Kigali. Today's highs and lows are 16-27°C. Escaping the Jozi winter isn't the reason why I spend 3 months in Rwanda this time every year, but it certainly is a bonus.
