Ambassadors are Diplomats & should use diplomatic channels for engagement. This is NOT acceptable conduct.
The Presidency has noted with concern remarks attributed to the United States Ambassador to South Africa, Reuben E Brigety, alleging the supply by South Africa of weapons to Russia.

the problem
with you is that you make sexist remarks that you try to disguise as jokes; that is called masculine attitudes & reinforce stereotypes of male superiority. All manifestations of sexism is harmful to society. Misogyny is a blatant disregard for women;

He engaged with more than a dozen government ministries, more than what other ambassadors do- definitely allowed access to SA government. He is an ambassador, not a member of ANC & engagement should be with government.

Stop blaming politics- selectors select teams, when Siya Kolisi was selected it was based on merit, not politics. So when an African sport person succeed, it’s merit & when he does not it is politics ? Blame the selectors, Blame the performance, not politics.

Farm attacks is a problem of crime & must be curtailed. However, racism is an ideology which regards all that are not White, as inferior human beings. Race is a primary contradiction in society, which is a precondition to be resolve if we wish to upsurge crime.
