"I'm still catching up on Chris Wyatt's channel, but it didn't look like Marco Rubio was in the room."

@scillawessels3 commented:

"'I even brought my white minister along.' I mean, who even says that! Ernie, our man, stood by us. I bet you Rupert locks his doors at night on his farm. With more security than any of us can even imagine."

@Trader_Xcom responded:

"Was the best to see Ramaphosa silenced! Felt embarrassed everytime any one of the ANC spoke. Trump is not mocked - he sees through them."

@PannevisArno replied:

"Well planned and executed. Thanks to Ernie Els for setting it up. Even Johan Rupert was exposed as a coward and a blatant liar."

He said:

"What happened in that room is the greatest assault on Africa’s dignity, sovereignty, and liberation legacy. They literally handed over our country. What a shameful state of affairs! Any proud African watching that drama must have felt the shame deep in their hearts!"

However, not everyone seems to agree with Ndlozi's views.
