Johannesburg (CNN)South Africa will issue a diplomatic protest to the United States Monday over US President Donald Trump's "shithole countries" comments, according to its foreign ministry.

During an Oval Office meeting on immigration Thursday, Trump expressed frustration with people coming to the United States from countries in Africa and elsewhere, sources told CNN.

Trump on Friday denied describing certain nations in such vulgar terms, tweeting: "The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used." He also defended himself Sunday night, telling reporters he is "not a racist."

Maybe they can burn some tires around people’s necks to make their point.

Will the passports get stamped with a new designation identifying the SHCs?

Protest, protest, protest. Denials?? The pig that squeals is hit. I’d like to know what these ‘protestors’ definition is of a shithole country if they reject the definition? Of course the leadership of shithole countries objects-and they know full well what conditions are. They work hard to keep them that way; living large while their subjects wallow.

Actually South Africa has their own refugee problems with people coming there from the rest of the continent. There have been riots between native South Africans and the invaders. Just some inconvenient facts they won’t tell you on the news.

Trump needs to have audio and visual recording of EVERY meeting with these subversive sh*thole democrats from here out.

Let them know they’re being recorded, and any misrepresentation will be replayed and sent viral.

Everything that the Boers and British built in South Africa has been, or is in the process of being, destroyed by the corrupt majority regime. Since I was in college in the mid eighties South Africa has gone from a first World economic powerhouse, the most prosperous and well run country on the continent, to a basketcase on the way to a Shi_hole!

Hole...house...is it ‘shit’ or ‘hole’ that offends? Perhaps ‘Defecation Deposit Area Countries’ would be acceptable?

South Africa still has one of the highest violent urban crime rates o the face of the earth. That qualifies as a “s-hole country.”

Hey South Africa, you used to be amazing!

Now every white person who can leave is fleeing your violence and racism.

Yes, you’ve turned into a crap hole country.

Protest, it’s so much easier...

Sen. Dick Durbin should be censured for publicizing inaccurate comments attributed to President Trump in a closed committee meeting. His comments have affected our nation’s foreign relations.

Yeah, I would think the first thing they would have to do is prove that he even said it, before they condemned him for saying it.

But that's just my First World sense of justice.
