Ramaphosa's visit to Trump bodes ill for rest of Africa
Daily Maverick
|May 30, 2025
After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's antagonistic exchange with US President Donald Trump, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is the latest target.
Almost from the moment the first live footage of his visit to the White House began airing, it was clear that Trump wanted only one thing. He wasn’t interested in resetting trade talks or the bilateral issues. He wasn’t interested in repairing ties between South Africa and the US, or hearing first-hand the other view about the so-called genocide against white South African farmers. He wasn't interested in conciliation.
He was interested in only one thing: having Ramaphosa for lunch. And he did, which was painful and difficult to watch.
