South African people expressed disappointment over the treatment of US President Donald Trump’s President Cyril Ramfosa during a talks at the White House on Wednesday.Repeatedly interrupted by Trump, Ramposa peacefully challenged the claim that minority Africans were the goals of a “white genocide”.During the meeting in Washington, a video circulated by Trump during a meeting featured a fringe, radical opposition party leader, chanting a song of anti -apartheid struggle, killing white farmers about “killing”.Trump also reiterated the allegations that the South Africa minority white Africans, ending the land from the descendants of the Dutch settlers, who own the more than three-fourths of commercial farms.A local person from Cape Town told Deutush Wale: “I think [Ramaphosa] Was very derogatory. Although I cannot agree with many things happening in our country, there is no reason to treat our President like this. ,Another woman said: “This was a very immature way to deal with the situation on Donald Trump’s part. They should open themselves to hear what Ramposa has to say about his country.”
Praise of Ramposa’s diplomatic approach:
72 -year -old Ramfosa grew prominently during apartheid as a leader of a mining association. After helping to eliminate the White Minority Rule, he became a successful businessman before returning to frontline politics and becoming President in 2018.The way he operated himself during Trump’s allegations attracted the praise of his party, African National Congress (ANC).ANC said, “His conduct was in view of President Nelson Mandela’s proud diplomatic tradition,” ANC said, called revered liberation struggle leader and the first black president of the country.The current South African President’s comprehensive network was clear at the Oval Office, where luxury goods were accompanied by billionaire Johan Ruart, South Africa’s richest man and champions Golfers Erni Els and Ritif Gosene.Three men and Agriculture Minister John Stanhuisen, all of whom are white, were invited by the South African leader to address Trump, who treated Ramposa, on the contrary – on the contrary – on the contrary – listened to him without interruption.The South African delegation may have been hung for a hostile reception with Trump, which cut aid in South Africa and threatened it with a 30 percent trade tariff under his “liberation day” rule.Trump has also expelled the South African Ambassador and has given shelter to Africers based on the claims of harassment, saying that the government of Ramposa says that are baseless.Ramfosa said, “There is criminality in our country. Unfortunately, there are not only white people through criminal activity. Most of them are black people.”
‘Appreciation’ from South African people to Ramfosa delegation:
Abrahim Rasool, who served as the ambassador of South Africa to the United States, was not expelled earlier in 2025, told DW that Ramfosa dealt with a television meeting with “dignity” in Washington.“On one side, there is anger and despair [in South Africa] The way President Donald Trump took over the meeting, “he said.” The South African delegation is also praised for dignity, unity and diversity. When we could not get our words, the body language, diversity and dignity of the South African delegation spoke volume. ,During the meeting, Ramfosa maintained a calm performance, praising Trump on his changes in the decoration of the Oval office and jokes about working on his own golf, so that he could take the US President who loves the game.Trump played a video even after starting his attack, in which thousands of white farmers in South Africa were false to show the graves, Ramposa tried to reduce tension with humor.The question was raised whether the South African President could push more strictly against his counterpart’s allegations, said Rasul said that he believes that a more tremendous response caused Bachalash Ukrain President Volodimier Zelanski to face in March.He said, “Barely pushing back may be a risk of a zelanceci moment in the White House.” Instead, Ramfosa tried to indicate the difficulty of South Africa’s face with crime throughout the board.The South African President said, “There is criminality in our country. Unfortunately, there are not only white people through criminal activity. Most of them are black people.”
