During a meeting in Washington, South Africans criticized President Donald Trump's treatment of their leader, Cyril Ramaphosa, who was interrupted multiple times. Ramaphosa addressed claims of 'white genocide' against Afrikaners, countering Trump's narrative that South Africa was expropriating land from white farmers. Locals voiced feelings of disrespect towards their president, urging Trump to listen to Ramaphosa's perspective. The African National Congress praised Ramaphosa's diplomatic demeanor, linking it to the legacy of Nelson Mandela, highlighting his significant role in transitioning South Africa from apartheid to democracy.
While I may not agree with many of the things that are happening in our country there is no reason to treat our president like that.
That was a very immature way to deal with the situation on Donald Trump's part. He should open himself up to hearing what Ramaphosa has to say about his own country.
His conduct was in keeping with the proud diplomatic tradition of President Nelson Mandela.
Ramaphosa calmly challenged claims that minority Afrikaners were the targets of a 'white genocide'.
