Eff Slams Jonas Us Envoy Appointment Over Mtn-iran Ties

Economic Freedom Fighters EFF Deputy President Godrich Gardee says the appointment of Mcebisi Jonas as South Africas special envoy to the US is unfortunate. Jonas was appointed earlier this week by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Gardee was speaking on the sidelines of the Holy Cross Anglican Church in Orlando, Gauteng, while attending a Good Friday mass.

For the fact that he is the chairperson of MTN, it will have a dent in the appointment. Because of what could be called a contradiction, or what we can call the economic relationship between MTN and Iran. Which is an arch enemy of the USA? And that alone, despite all that he has said about President Trump. Will actually have to be looked at by the Trump Administration.
