The TikToker then appealed to Donald Trump in the clip, saying:

"Donald Trump, please leave the president of Venezuela. Take President Ramaphosa, please take Ramaphosa, instead take him, kidnap him... We don't need this man." He said Ramaphosa is concerned with Trump and loves him so much that he has forgotten he's the president of South Africa, not Venezuela or Palestine.

The man continued his rant, asking why Ramaphosa is so concerned about what Donald Trump is doing. He pointed out that Donald Trump is stealing for his people to benefit, while Ramaphosa is stealing from his people, and there's a big difference. He told Ramaphosa to stay out of the business of the United States because he's causing problems for South Africans. The man said South Africa doesn't need to be involved in America's business and urged Ramaphosa to mind his own business.

The video went viral, with thousands of social media users praising the man's message. Many agreed that Ramaphosa should focus on South Africa's problems instead of getting involved in what's happening in other countries.
