South Africans React to Ramaphosa’s Meeting With Trump

Some South Africans defended President Cyril Ramaphosa’s handling of President Trump’s false claims during a confrontational meeting in the Oval Office while others expressed dismay.

I think it was a very much necessary meeting because there was a lot of fake information going out there. I think it’s something that needed to happen for the president to be able to explain to the U.S. president. People who do get killed, unfortunately, through criminal activity are not only white people, majority of them are Black people. Ramaphosa or the team did not realize is that this is not the traditional diplomatic stage that they are used to. It’s a new type of diplomacy. And it’s a Trump show. Turn the lights down and just put this on. It’s right behind you. We’ve had tremendous complaints about Africa, about other countries too. Trump was pretty much prepared for him. The president and his team did not have a comeback.
