In his latest interview with BizNews, United States intelligence analyst, retired Colonel Chris Wyatt, calls the City of Johannesburg’s decision to rename Sandton Drive - where the US consulate is - in honour of Palestinian activist Leila Khaled “an own goal of epic proportions”. He says: “It's being done now intentionally to insult the United States…it shows you just how venomous some politicians are in South Africa.” He also gives his take on the expulsion of SA’s US Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool for race baiting, and berates members of the government for “constantly lying about things”. Wyatt says US President Donald Trump has been “incredibly reserved” in his actions against South Africa. “…and his reward, constant bombardment; being called the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan by the EFF who can't even spell Ku Klux Klan. You know, it's beyond the pale.” He further comments on Trump pulling Hunter Biden’s Secret Service Protection after he was spotted with his detail on holiday in Cape Town.
