US-South Africa Ties: Trump Rejects Diplomatic Visa for Ramaphosa’s Special Envoy | Firstpost Africa | N18G
The ties between South Africa and the US continue to deteriorate. In the latest, the American authorities have denied a diplomatic visa to President Cyril Ramaphosa’s special envoy, Mcebisi Jonas. The Trump administration allegedly refused to recognise him as South Africa’s “official interlocutor”. The visa was denied in May, but the revelation was recently made by the Democratic Alliance (DA), the second-biggest party in Ramaphosa’s coalition government after his African National Congress (ANC). After the DA’s claim, the President’s office accused the party of spreading “disinformation”, adding that the party is sensationalising the matter. Jonas had made controversial remarks about US President Trump, calling him “racist” and a “narcissistic right-winger” in the past. Visa rejection is a part of a series of steps taken by the US to isolate South Africa, including skipping the G20 summit, not inviting Ramaphosa to the Africa Summit in Washington and announcing 30% tariffs on South African goods.

Should've never bit the hand that fed it
U.S. consumers will be fine. Worry about the rest of the world, we are good!
You should be ashamed to lie like this in a news channel. I am a black South African and President Trump did not ambush Ramaphosa. Everything Trump said was true. You are seriously mentally challenged.
First post used to be a good news channel. Don't humiliate yourselves now by allowing dumb people like the one speaking from Durban to embarrass you with falsehood.
Bricks is the reason why
GOOD WELL DONE PRESIDENT TRUMP🇺🇸💯🙏🤩😎 reporting from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼🌍🐘 and The Good Old USA 🤩🇺🇸❤️

where can I get the records of this genocide I would like to see how many whites were murdered this month or last month or this year
I am proudly South African 🇿🇦
Why is it that African leaders continue to bow to the West , worse America?
South Africa has BRICS nations to trade with why beg America?
Maybe it's time a Military Junta take power coz democracy has failed Blacks in the South African part of Africa
The American and Israel embassies must close immediately.
AGOA is slave trade and only benefits the Oppenheimer and Ruppert
General Mkhwanazi must lead this country
Regardless of race, South Africans must unite and take to the streets to overthrow this racist ANC that opposes equality. They are advancing their own communist agendas and propergandas rather than standing with South Africans, causing the poor to suffer while the elite benefit..
You are fake. You play with facts like a hot coal!
That umlungu in the sky is punishing SA for all its sins…..let my people go!
Bulshit, I am a south african, and those photos and videos were all from here, now you want to shift the narrative, Trump is on the right track, The ANC are a virus killing our country and our economy, and making it so bad until the citizens take back the country and take another 10 years just to fix what the ANC has destroyed!
How can you negotiate with terrorists? That's what the ANC are, we are fed up with this, we need change without racial barriers, and on merit!
❤❤❤
Those graves are in South Africa, I live here.
Can’t stand your and Firstpost in general’s Anti-Trump attitude. Stopped watching all together.

People are speaking of racism in south africa what about racism that happens in the same country of united state of america favoring a site without looking at truthful reality it will not solve any problem in our country only to grow apart and coursing a disaster in our country. Instead of being one nation put the meters on the table to solve it as one nation we choose to blame on each other and through snakes to one another. In my tradition our elders sad lions that has no cooperation failed to kill buffalo on a broken feet.
