IN A HIGH-level diplomatic mission to Washington, President Cyril Ramaphosa placed global cooperation at the centre of his dialogue with US President Donald Trump, urging Trump to attend the G20. South Africa prepares to hand over its presidency.

“So now that it is our time to hand over to them, I told him that I don't want to hand over to an empty chair. So he must come personally so that I can hand over the presidency to him,” he said.

Ramaphosa said this to journalists on the sidelines of the Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa meeting in Cape Town yesterday.

This comes after Trump's administration vowed to snub the G20 in the country, citing concerns over the Expropriation Act. Trump believes that the law targeted white-Afrikaners, particularly farmers.
