Welcome to South Africa Lana Marks
Lana’s arrival in South Africa were met with mixed feelings. On her Twitter account some welcome replies read:
“Welcome to our beautiful country filled with diversity and wonderful people. Please help us to make our country a place of peace and prosperity. Greetings and God bless you.” said one tweet.
“Please assist to make South Africa great again! We need all the help we can get. Not financial but moral ethical and capable.” said another.
However not all salutations were positive
“Get your security guards in place” reads one tweet
“You’re not welcome…you have been appointed by a rapey crook. Go back”
“Welcome, I can only hope you’re less of a clown than your half wit of a president”
“This place is a sh$thole. Crime is out of control. Make sure you and your family stay safe.”
The road ahead for Ambassador Lana Marks
We certainly hope the Ambassador get all the support we can muster, as new responsibilities dawn upon her.
Life in South Africa is very remote from the fashionable Mar-a-Lago existence she enjoyed before.
In South Africa innocent Christians are raped, tortured and murdered every day and thousands of lives now depend on the new Ambassador’s actions and words.
