Rob Hersov supports US decision to cut funding to South Africa, blaming the ANC

South African businessman Rob Hersov has voiced his support for the United States reducing its financial aid to South Africa.

His stance comes amid reports that the US government is considering sanctions against over 40 South African politicians and radical figures, as reported by The South African.

In February, President Donald Trump halted federal funding to South Africa, citing concerns over the treatment of minority groups within the country. Last week, he also imposed tariffs on South Africa and several other nations, escalating tensions.

Rob Hersov urges the US to sanction the ANC

When asked about the deteriorating relationship between the US and South Africa, Hersov stated that the US should punish the ANC government.

“Well deserved”, he replied to Lelethu Shayi. “I think America is right. In just about every United Nations vote, South Africa doesn’t even read and probably don’t do their homework; they just vote against America. They take aid from America, they treat America with disdain,” Rob Hersov said.

“It’s about time America say to South Africa, ‘Stuff you’ particularly to the ANC. There are 100% right, South Africa are behaving like spoilt idiots and because it’s the ANC, everyone’s like ‘oh the liberation organisation’, well still 2008, fair enough, ANC did a good job but when the clowns of Zuma and Ramaphosa came in, they treated the west with disdain and taking the money.”

Hersov warned the ANC that more sanctions were coming from the US soon.

“The ANC’s foreign policy is simply who gives us the money, not the country. Cyril has always put ANC ahead of the country even publicly, it’s disgusting. So America is absolutely right to be doing what it’s doing and more is to come.”
