Trump's tweet 'unfortunate' - communications minister
23 August 2018
The South African government has undertaken to intensify communication about its land reform plans as the "onslaught" by those opposing also intensified, Communications Minister Nomvula Mokonyane told journalists on Monday.
Her comments came in the wake of the ongoing furore over US President Donald Trump's land-related comments.
"It is unfortunate that the first citizen of the US can say we have amended the Constitution," Mokonyane said, pointing out that she probably wouldn't have made a good diplomat.
She was addressing the parliamentary press corps on the outcome of Wednesday's Cabinet meeting. However, as soon questions were allowed, she was asked about Trump's tweet.
