This comes as Trump recently warned the South African government not to attempt to adopt a consensus declaration at this weekend's G20 Summit that doesn't include the US position.

Ramaphosa, who yesterday received the declaration from the G20 Social Summit in Boksburg, said that there should be no nation that bullies another, as all nations are equally important to the global agenda.

On Wednesday, media reports revealed that Trump, in a scathing letter, formally warned South Africa against pushing for a joint statement without his administration being represented.
