Members of the South African Communist Party (SACP), an alliance partner of the governing African National Congress (ANC), have gathered outside the United States (US) embassy, in Pretoria, to protest against US President Donald Trump’s treatment of Iran. Asked why they were picketing outside the US Embassy, the group claimed that this was a way of standing in solidarity with the Iranian people, following the assassination of the Middle East’s most revered military veteran, General Qasem Soleimani.

President Trump van Amerika het sy keuse vir nominasie gemaak vir Ambassadeur in Suid-Afrika. Lana Marks is ‘n eks Suid-Afrikaner met Afrikaans en Xhosa sprekend. Sy is ‘n besigheidsvrou van handsakke ontwerp, maar sy is ook lid van sy privaat klub Mar-a-Lago wat ‘n duur en eksklusiewe klub is, wat nie vir die gewone man op straat is nie. Dus ‘n ware rykmanslewe. Dit gaan nie oor die pos as sulks nie maar oor ‘n groter prentjie. Haar handsakke is baie duur en ook bekend aan die “elites” en “royals”. Sover bekend was die pos van Ambassadeur vir 2 jaar vakant. Daar is ook vasgestel dat sy Joods is.

Speaking with the media, deputy secretary-general of the SACP, Solly Mapaila, confirmed that this was the party’s way of sending a stern message to President Trump about his recent decisions regarding Iran.
“We are picketing here to protest against the US aggression in the Middle East, particularly against Iran. [Extraterritorial jurisdiction] killings, violation of international law — as you know, for instance, the killing of General Qasem Soleimani, who was killed by US instruments,” he said.
