A South African businessman is in trouble with tweeters after a video of him telling US President Donald Trump that Africa loves him went viral online.
Mining billionaire Patrice Motsepe, who was speaking during the World Economic Forum in the Swiss town Davos, said Africa wishes America well.

Mr Motsepe said that the success of America is the success of the rest of the world.
The businessman has been mocked by South African twitter users:

It was wrong for Patrice Motsepe to sing for his supper and commit the entire African continent. It was wrong to express love for Donald Trump on behalf of the continent. He could have simply said “Trump I love you “ and not say “Africa Loves You “.
