President Cyril Ramaphosa has described the bilateral meeting with his US counterpart as good.

The channels of communication have been opened despite Donald Trump’s propaganda of a white genocide in the country. During Trump’s engagement with the South African delegation in front of the media, he failed to provide concrete evidence of a so-called white genocide.

In a video ambush session, Trump played snippets from EFF leader Julius Malema including him singing the anti-apartheid song, Kill the Boer, and showed aerial visuals of the Plaasmoorde Monument which is located along the N1 in Limpopo.

The symbolic, white-painted metal crosses is a remembrance of those who have lost their lives in attacks on farms which have affected both white and black farmers. They are not graves as the Trump administration sought to claim. 

According to President Ramaphosa during the close door engagements there was no further dwelling on the so-called white genocide issue as the South African delegation including businessman Johann Rupert had explained that the country has a crime problem that affects all races and not only whites.
