South African business mogul Patrice Motsepe has got tongues wagging on Twitter after telling American President Donald Trump that Africa loves him.
Motsepe was speaking on camera after being invited to dine with the US president at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The footage shows Motsepe clearly stating that Africa loves America and that Africa loved Trump.
“We want America to do well, we want you (Trump) to do well. The success of America is the success of the rest of the world.”

Don't get it twisted homeboy🤚
When Motsepe said "We" & "Africa" he wasn't talking about you and I or any other ordinary African man or woman in the street, he meant him & his fellow multi million & billionaire captains of indistry peers.
