Brand SA says the country’s rich cultural diversity is an even better reason for Samuel L. Jackson to move to South Africa from the United States.
The agency has responded to the comment by the Hollywood star, who says he’d hop on a plane and move to SA if Donald Trump ever took over at the White House.
Although some locals believe the statement is an insult, spokesperson Petrus de Kock says ultimatum is more a stamp of approval.
“It seems to me as if it’s a response to a very hard attitude that’s coming through in terms of dealing with immigrants, even statements made about Muslims being barred from entering the US. I think it’s good that we are seen as a country where you can still be who you want to be regardless of your religion or race or anything like that.”
Brand expert Thebe Ikalafeng adds, “Everybody thinks Trump is a joke and if one of their first citizens says the day he becomes president he will quit America, that speaks the desirability of South Africa despite its challenges.”
