_Business They don't want couch bankers
_Business We don't care about Japan, if one country in Africa is not invited then they should know only 2% of Africa will be there..... We know Japan used to support the apartheid regime🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️

_Business You guys are trying to push your own narrative, this is misleading and wrong
_Business South Africa is part of African Union
_Business 😱...... moving on! We mustn't worry we won't miss them anyway.
_Business There’s a classic South African expression that goes… ‘as hulle nie will hoor nie, dan moet hulle voel’. Congrats CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA MYANC - you have achieved something truly remarkable, in less three decades you have turned SA from darling of the world to pariah.

_Business This headline is intentionally and disgracefully misleading. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
_Business Why must they invite a greylisted country?
_Business It is a bit pointless being invited but not doing what is necessary!
_Business what a BS headline.
_Business It's inviting the entire AU. Not jus South Africa alone. SA is part of AU. U guys are like Daily Sun
_Business Another example of cancel culture for holding a different view
_Business African Union must go there and ask those fascist Japanese, where is South Africa who are the most important economic player in the continent?
_Business They were instructed by the yanks, we all know that!
_Business G7 is under pressure from BRICS it's clear.
_Business Ramaphosa: 'We don't need G7 as we have BRICS'
_Business Where did you guys study journalism to come up with such bad captions? This headline is damn misleading readers. It sounds as though South Africa 🇿🇦 was excluded while other countries were invited. African Union’s attendance also represents SA, dude 🤔 Many comments in here are…
_Business Come on ANC... read between the lines!
_Business This is clickbait people. Open the article
_Business Because SouthAfrica is fucked! We are no use to the rest of the world, we can offer them anything. Thanks to CyrilRamaphosa GovernmentZA MYANC
_Business You should make your propaganda a bit subtle. SA is Japan's biggest trade partner on the continent.
_Business 100% correct what they do, our Government is pathetic and CORRUPT
_Business Because South Africa is involved with those terrorist countries......Russia & China!!!...they're dictators and communist's!!!!😠😬😠😬😠😡😬😡
_Business They can go to hell

_Business We suck at everything,
_Business Lol you do know how to get us reading.
_Business 'Excludes the ANC' . Unfortunately the name South Africa is synonymous with this criminal element.
_Business It's because South Africa is not trustworthy and they play both sides

_Business They should go jump
Victor19911711 _Business
_Business With state capture, rampant and corruption, no one really knows who is in charge.
_Business Great Thank you
_Business So Japan has chosen the US and NATO, Do they also wish to join in on the looting of African wealth to fund their own country
_Business Very unnecessary article. AU is made up of 54 countries (you sneaked in that to confuse us) but we see you, AU is a organization that can choose representatives to attend, Japan.
MatthewsMahlubi _Business Money launder has been given middle finger, he is useless and the world see that now
_Business Good..this useless government has enough sh!t to sort out here to be flying around the world acting all smart..VoetsekANC
_Business Good they have 92 coal powered stations in operation and we have 19 which we are busy closing so that they can enjoy the benefits of coal
_Business Its because of Hermen Mashaba, udoti lo. South Africa has not been representing Africa well also
_Business 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
_Business South Africa has lost its international influence. We are led by a money launder.
_Business Who would want to be partners with a mafia country 😂
_Business Ga ba fotseke😏😏
_Business AU represent 54 African countries..problem with whites who call themselves Africans always fail Africa..
_Business Let them not forget that we are one of the biggest consumer of toyota
_Business Nice, otherwise the Salesman could have sold us all, you never know with this useless big head we call the president.
_Business I think we should exclude Toyota and Mitsubishi
_Business I wonder.

_Business Dont mind South Africa 🇿🇦, we will hang-out with the criminal despots and war criminals. IranChemicalAttacks RussianWarCrimes ChinaProtests
_Business What atrocity could we have committed no to be invited🤔
_Business Its bcoz of BRICS
_Business Do you blame them?
_Business South Africa doesn't have a backbone. It's actually a soy of the West
_Business Same Japan that was nuked by America in WW2 ..what a joke
_Business G7 is that meeting of colonial powers whereby Ramapoza used to go play outside & take pictures while they hold meetings😂; It's good they decided to take him out of his misery; AU invite will ensure they torture whoever is chair at that time.
_Business Coz South Africa is a Mampara country in the eyes of the world
_Business But we all know Japan has no brain of it's own. Joe Biden does the thinking for them. That is why they are on the decline for the past 20 years or more. Only difference between them and SA is that they are on a slow glide while we are on a crash dive.
_Business South Africa never contributes nothing anyways
_Business I am not sure if SAEditorsForum is scare of you guys ir what but this habit of misleading headlines and lies is really out of line now
_Business So who cares - don’t need the japs anyway
_Business We dnt care we have our own problem like President needs to go
_Business Mxm kuyafana nje
_Business Why are they acting like we nuked them?
_Business Your headline is so misleading. They decided to invite the African Union instead of individual countries in Africa. The current chair of the AU is the president of Comoros. So only he will be present.
_Business Since 1945 Japan has been occupied and they have not had a foreign policy since then, everything they do has to be approved and in alignment with the interest of Washington.
_Business More like, Japan decides to include the rest of Africa to G7, not only SA.
_Business 😦 imagine paying a subscription to read such
_Business Good. South Africa must attend Russia
_Business Japan should know that SA is the gateway to Africa but anyway we dnt have a president so its fine
_Business Hehehe, they know that CyrilRamaphosa can't be trusted
_Business Good
_Business Good, we have no time for an occupied nation by the US. And teaches it's generation of Japanese that Soviet Union is the one dropped nuclear bomb on their ancestors NOT the current occupier US neutralized Japanese economic growth & prosperity and now claim friendship.
_Business Or b coz we are grey listed b coz of the biggest criminal of our president
_Business We are Bricks members.. Don't give a bull abt Japan
_Business 'The Japanese government, which is hosting the G7, decided for its version of the summit to invite the African Union instead of individual countries from Africa,' it said. For all you reactionaries, READ the article. Comments are embarrassing.
_Business Africa doesn't need the G7 anymore they should join alliances with BRICS please them G7 just want to milk the little that's left of Africa they have stolen most of Africa's resources selling us false dreams and hopes please no more
_Business SA is weakened by the fake rainbow nation, our govt serves whites' interests. Who wants to invite CIA agents?

_Business Standard of journalism is appalling
_Business They are done with SA, Ranko already gave them everything
_Business During apartheid Japanese was classified as whites in South Africa. The supported apartheid and will always side western imperialism
_Business Why lie _Business with your misleading headline? Japan didn’t excludes South Africa, they invited AU chairman as a representative of Africa instead of inviting individual countries. This is how you spread fake news and misinformation. Sies 🤮🤮🤮
_Business Africa as a whole should boycott this farce but we’re divided.
_Business All because our country is friends with China.
_Business solidariteit
_Business Japan is a US proxy.. their foreign policy decisions are based on Western ideological imperatives. Not Japanese trade needs. This is a move against a BRICs member, divide & conquer.
_Business Who wrote this headline?
_Business Lol okay good
_Business The start of many , many exclusions to come
_Business 👀👀
_Business Good , let’s see what comes out of it
_Business Infact this article should read “Ramaphosa snubbed by Japan”, then it would make sense. Africa is still gonna be there represented by the Comores president.
_Business 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Japan stepping in to become America's puppet Let's see if other African countries will accept
_Business I’m sure they figured leadership needs to focus on restoring lights than these trips. Kudos
_Business Thank you Japan!
_Business Imagine the whole continent invited by an island?

_Business Jah neh
_Business It's fine, their future looks bleak anyway...there's nothing to gain from the G7 except imperialistic deals, there's no win win relationship there. Those big guys protect their markets at the expense of the small guys...
_Business Let the countries boycott this G7
_Business You will never know how much your kindness, support, love and encouragement means to me thank you.❤️ Brandonkaren11 for helping me through your Bitcoin mining investment platform.
_Business Well done naledi, keep on fucking things up
_Business When we face sanctions on time perhaps the our Russian comrades will mail us out - I think not. The world had had enough of SA - failed state and no longer any value to add.
_Business Russia neh.. ?

_Business Yeah but whats japan? They are a little more than a bunch of tea drinking geriatrics. Not worried.
_Business Majority of Investments are from Anglo Saxon and now South Africa is supporting Russian Ukraine invasion its not good considering the sancrions on that evil man putin
_Business This is a wake up call South Africa, if you want to side with the Russians this is the treatment you can expect.
_Business Clickbait.. Yawn
_Business Is South Africa not a member of the African Union?
_Business South Africa can’t play both sides it’s like saying you’re agains ANC but you do like CR. Russia or Ukraine? =?
_Business One can expect South Africas exclusion, becuase the ANC goverment comprise of Stalinist outdated embarrassing stalwarts ,trap in communism ideology , which doesn't gel with a democratic South Africa . Stupid does, as Stupid is .
