The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has slammed US President Donald Trump over his reported comment that he hates some political enemies and cannot forgive them, even if doing so means risking heaven.
Reacting to the remark, Sowore argued that leaders should focus on making life better for people on earth instead of preaching about heaven while millions suffer from poverty, war, persecution and displacement.
In a post on X, the presidential candidate said the only heaven worth pursuing was a society where everyone could enjoy safety, decent wages, quality education, healthcare and dignity.
He also condemned the treatment of immigrants, Palestinians and other vulnerable people across the world, accusing governments of subjecting them to policies that cause suffering and deprivation.
