According to The South African, President Cyril Ramaphosa is scheduled to meet former U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, DC on Wednesday to address rising tensions and discuss restoring diplomatic and trade relations between South Africa and the United States. The meeting comes after Trump accused the South African government of discriminating against minorities, particularly Afrikaners. Ramaphosa will be accompanied by key ministers, including those overseeing justice, trade, agriculture, and the presidency. Political analyst Boitumelo Senokoane warned that Trump’s agenda may be more about global dominance than genuine concern for South African issues, urging Ramaphosa not to be intimidated.
