Deputy Director-General responsible for Public Diplomacy at Dirco Clayson Monyela says the statement made by Eswatini Government spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo that, “South Africa is infested with a cancer of criminality from head to toe”, was unfortunate

What we will not allow for South Africa and the people of this country to be insulted by an individual hoping to be speaking on behalf of a neighbouring country.

A kettle calling pot black

South Africa is unhappy with what Eswatini has said. My understanding is that Eswatini is correct all the way. Does this mean that SA sees everything going smoothly as against Eswatini's assessment? Kwak madoda 🙆🙆🙆

Jah but anc government is bad in all angles.

Cut diplomatic ties with Eswatini for 3 years as punishment and ban Alpheous Nxumalo from ever coming into South Africa for life.

Even his peers are now free to call him(CR) a criminal.

No lies detected.

Are they lying though

How so? When criminality is a daily occurrence that happens with impunity.

He is correct kodwa

HE IS ONLY STATING THE FACTS WHICH YOU ANC CRIMINAL DO NOT LIKE HEARING.

Ao, was Mr Nxumalo lying 😊😊

Vele “South Africa is infested with a cancer of criminality from head to toe” he's telling the truth

Ijooo even people from outside knows 🙄 I thought it's only us,

PhikisiweM Facts though...

In other words thier king took advantage because they see the high rate of crime, and poor South African won't suspect the king of eSwatin though it suit him,

The truth hurts for sure . You know that 4- 7 percent of crimes are not reported to the police and are not in the media either.

He said what everyone knows and thinks

p_patrikov Is a true statement SA is infested with cancer of crime from head to toe..is a Fact.

Hopefully all other African states will have an opinion because their law enforcement isn't napping, in South Africa some police are behind bars, it's just a mess and the beauty of it is that, the entire world is aware of how pathetic and inept the leadership of South Africa is😏

But ke nnete

It’s true

But they are telling the truth

But is true, South African government is run by mafia criminals from president to judges and police

Alpheous was very diplomatic, he should've said SA government is useless, from head to toe he meant from the top office to ordinary citizens

The truth The babar'n:

It’s the truth. Look at Phalaphala

Bayafana eSwatini and SA leadership same whatapp group all rotten to the core

Djchestie Head being who KONJE? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Uyadzelela Eswatini Government spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo..'

King mswati should be arrested for raping young girls

The very same government filled with corruption... How in the world someone can be above the law, will wake up in the morning and kill you because he is a law himself... With public funds he spoil himself with his family and friends, living the 70% under poverty 😡😡😡😡

I’m gradually making more earnings now in my trades but with the aid of a trader that was recommended and now I'm recommending her to y'all EliDonovan01

Eswatini spokesperson is right about what he said.

True though

Lol did he lie though? If the shoe fits 😇

Is the man wrong though.On top of home bred criminals, SA sits with 13million undocumented foreigners from all corners of the world.Anyone's guess how many of those millions are criminals.We read everyday of arrests of foreigners for murder,kidnapping,sabotage,rape etc. Endless.

Did he mean the head, it’s President Ramaphosa and the toe probably the lowest of the lowest of criminal such as infamous Zamazamas underground🤔? The interview was terrible though, very rude royal spokesman.

So it is fortunate to Gardee 🤷

Unfortunate but true

Yesss but he is right!

Are we talking about the same Swati that the King wend to buy luxury cars for his family After bailout from South Africa

Spot on Swaziland

He is not wrong though

He ain't lying mos...

The leading criminal shall know other criminals 😌 Yall then same xa🙄

Nnete ya baba.

ZelaHon Can u imagine , Alpheous Nxumalo South Africa is not Banana republic like Swaziland where u violates human rights.

Is not it true?

Unfortunate? How about unacceptable?

Swaziland is supposed to say that 'it was unfortunate'.... until then, it is what is it.... they mean it🤷‍♂️... and sadly, there is some truth in it.

You are right Clayson, the situation is very 'unfortunate'.

But it's true

Buh the spokesperson did not lie
