Bonakele Majuba, secretary of the Mfumalanga Provincial Committee of the South African Communist Party who doubles as chairman of the South African Association of Friendship and Solidarity with Korean People, said:

The U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK is the most ferocious policy to undermine the ideology and bring down social system of the DPRK by dint of American-style democracy and market economy and swallow up the Korean nation and territory by force.

We demand the U.S. discontinue the nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK and immediately stop the groundless "human rights" racket kicked up as part of its hostile policy towards the DPRK.

The U.S. should totally stop the farce of hurting the dignity of the DPRK which it conducts with the involvement of human scum who are more dead than alive.

A secretary for the northern area of the Group for the Study of the Progressive Ideas of South Africa said:

The escalating military tensions and the danger of a war on the Korean peninsula are entirely attributable to the U.S. persistent hostile policy towards the DPRK.

The army and people of the DPRK will steadily beef up its nuclear deterrence for self-defence and take a series of additional measures to demonstrate its might as long as the U.S. continues nuclear threat and blackmail against the DPRK. This strong stand of the DPRK is greatly encouraging us.

The U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK is bound to go bust as it is pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula to an extreme phase despite the sincere efforts of the DPRK.
