FROM calling South Africa a “crime ridden mess” to a “dangerous mess”  while also slating Judge Thokozile Masipa as a “total moron” – real estate tycoon Donald Trump can’t seem to cut the country any slack.

On Monday night, the 68-year-old Trump Towers owner went on another negative Twitter rant just two years after he referred to the country as “one of the most beautiful countries” on his show The Apprentice.

“As I have long been saying, South Africa is a total - and very dangerous - mess. Just watch the evening news (when not talking weather),” wrote Trump.

This comes after the widespread xenophobic attacks that have been broadcast all over the world. But it wasn’t a first time he called the country a “mess” as he did on 14 December 2013, just days after the passing of former President Nelson Mandela.

Then he wrote: “I really like Nelson Mandela but South Africa is a crime ridden mess that is just waiting to explode-not a good situation for the people!”

It seems he’s had a change of heart since the broadcasting of season six of his show All-Star Celebrity Apprentice – where he was working alongside South African Tourism North America’s president Sthu Zungu, in a show titled “Are you my Zulu dancing man?”.

For the eighth episode, Trump assigns two teams of celebrities to “design an interactive South African Tourism Expo” as a weekly challenge.

In his opening introduction Trump says, “There’s another very special place it’s called South Africa, one of the most beautiful countries in the world” – a segment he presents alongside two SA Tourism representatives Zungu and her colleague only known as Evelyn.

For the task, team Power, which comprised of model Brande Roderick, rapper Lil Jon, singer Trace Adkins and Marilu Henner were tasked to showcase the “adventure package” of the country using elements of camping, shark cage diving, zip lining, surfing and golfing. The other team, Plan B, with actress Lisa Rinna, actor Gary Busey and magician Penn Jillette were assigned the “romantic package” where they had to showcase the food, art, dance, wines and spas of the country.

Although Busey, who claims he has filmed in South Africa bashed Johannesburg saying: “When I was over there filming they put us up in Johannesburg, I heard people were being murdered”. Trumps main judge George Ross jumps in to defend the country saying: “It's very safe, it's very nice, we've been to Johannesburg and the people are delightful”.

In a press release promoting the show in the same year it aired, Trump is quoted referring to South Africa as “an amazing destination”.

“This episode will highlight the magnificence of the country, and I will be going to South Africa soon – it’s one of my favourite places,” read Trumps statement.

There is no telling if Trump has been in the country, but South Africans refused to let him get away with his negative utterance as they lashed back criticising his hair and his country the USA.

Businessman Dr Richard Nel of Gate Investment Group tweeted: “@realDonaldTrump don’t believe the news, just 5min of fame propaganda. The worst places in South Africa is safer than most parts of New York”.

Selimathunzi presenter Lunga Shabalala wrote: “Will that be before or after the story of another cop taking a life on an unarmed black male?”
