Watch As Pres. Ramaphosa Throws Subtle Shade At Jesse Jackson Family
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s tribute at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s March 2026 memorial emphasizes Jackson’s lifelong anti-apartheid solidarity, including 1979 Soweto rallies that drew thousands and U.S. sanctions advocacy that pressured the regime.
“Program director, I heard you say that if you are not a Jackson you can only speak for two minutes but I have traveled 14,000 kilometers which is 9,000 miles, over 24 hours and Jesse Jackson’s story and relationship with South Africa can never be told in two minutes” President Cyril Ramaphosa Pays Tribute to the late Rev jesse jackson
The video clip, showing Ramaphosa requesting extended speaking time after a 14,000 km journey, garners 349,000 views and widespread praise for highlighting enduring U.S.-South Africa ties forged during liberation struggles.
Jackson’s February 17, 2026, death at 84 prompted global tributes, with South African leaders like Ramaphosa crediting his moral leadership for bridging civil rights movements across continents.
