Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, has arrived in South Africa for Portugal Day celebrations, and was speaking in Cape Town, at a meeting with hundreds of Portuguese and Portuguese descendants at the Associação Portuguesa do Cabo da Boa Esperança.
In a speech, the head of state referred to the concern of emigrants in South Africa with the absence of a direct air connection to Portugal: "As I understand it, today I went via Dubai to get here".
"You go east to then come south. It would be better to be more direct", he said.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa promised to tell the President of South Africa "that this community wants to stay here, it will stay here and it wants to have a future here".
"We want that future to exist, a future with economic, social, and security conditions. We want that. And we want to strengthen relations with South Africa, bilaterally, which is very important. And your role is decisive", he added.

Portuguese have contributed so much to South Africa, and so many have been murdered for the simple fact of them being entrepreneurs.
The governing ANC do not care for diplomatic niceties, and the sooner the West starts castigating and criticising the SA government for their many human-rights violations the better.
Portuguese South Africans should return to their roots and bring their entrepreneurial spirit with them.

Marcelo meeting with the president of one of the most corrupt political parties in the world (The ANC), who have been looting the country for many years now and can no longer keep South Africa’s electricity on. What on earth is he hoping to achieve, besides making himself look like a clown?

I'm afraid that the president of South Africa is lying to President Rebelo. A very parasitic relationship, Cyril Rhamaphosa doesn't want ANY Europeans in South Africa, but he does want their wealth, skills, work ethic, tax, etc. He knows they make up the majority of the taxpayers and as long as they keep working, the state coffers will be flush with money to pillage and steal.
