France Bars South Africa from G7, Ramaphosa Withdraws “US Pressure” Claim | Firstpost Africa

A diplomatic rift has deepened between Pretoria and Washington following news that South Africa has been uninvited from the upcoming G7 summit in France this June. Initial reports from South African officials alleged that President Donald Trump pressured Paris to rescind the invitation, threatening a US boycott if President Cyril Ramaphosa attended. While Ramaphosa later downplayed the “snub,” and France insisted the decision to invite Kenya instead was merely to “streamline” the event. However, the timing highlights fractured US-South Africa relations. Tensions have hit a historic low over South Africa’s genocide case against Israel and Trump’s vocal criticism of Pretoria’s domestic policies, including black empowerment laws and land reform. This friction follows a string of diplomatic clashes, including Trump’s boycott of the G20 in Johannesburg and the expulsion of South Africa’s ambassador to the US last year.

ANC destroyed our country.The world knows that we SouthAfricans we are not at fault but we are just feeling discriminated in the country. .People are being killed , no one cares.Children are kidnaped no one cares. There is a lot to mention. South Africans have no say in their country. The country is in the hands of the Cartels and Thugs. .ANC /GNU leader will feel the same pain that South Africans are feeling all these 32 years.What does President Ramaphosa want there? ,He is not standing for SouthAfricans then he cannot be needed there ? He is known everywhere now how he is ruling the country . NO one wants to listen to him . President Trump doesn't like people who treats his own country people bad and support the people who are known as people who are destroying the world .That is now the Answer of ( We are not going to be bullied) ( I would say then, show that you are not going to be bullied by going by force to G7. Everything that is happening in SouthAfrica ANC is at fault DA keeps quiet when things are happening in the country. To me looks like DA agrees with the wrong doings of the ANC in the country. .Now South Africa is not recognised in the world , means the South Africans are still going to stay without jobs as the inventors won't show any interest for this country.( ANC must leave, President Ranaphosa must step down.) from ANC and GNU as he is the President of both Parties.Now we are taken as the ( Third World because of the other people).

😂😂😂 youre an idiot of you believe this. Trump is only doing what Ramathief wanted. The question we should be asking ourselves is …how do you feel now Ramaphosa? Like the silence being alone yet boy?

G7,, don't matter to us at all..The meeting of ex colonizes,, the west must leave us black,,ignorant helpless people alone… France and America are not our friends

You notice how the media makes it into something it’s not they wanna ignite the flames of hatred and keep people at odds with each other. They seem to be the spreader of the divisiveness.

🔥 🔥 🔥
The UN is the Beast with 7 heads spoken of in the Bible. The G7 are the 7 heads. Their main objective is to protect the interest of the Capitalist previously known as Colonists.

For SA being uninvited to the Table of Evil shows that SA is on the right side of history. 🔥 🔥 🔥

The ANC – a globally well known corrupt and incompetent Racist government that sides with terrorism (Iran) doesn't have the right to be represented at G7, G20 or any other global body.
At best it can seek solace with the equally corrupt and incompetent body called the UN.

Anyone Reading it as a diplomatic insult assumes the G7 invite was a fixed honour that was taken away It wasn’t. These invitations are fluid and agenda driven.
South Africa was invited in a different global context. Once geopolitical tensions escalated, especially around Iran, the nature of that meeting changed. It became less about broad global cooperation and more about alignment among like minded powers.
South Africa’s foreign policy, shaped. Report better, otherwise U just becoming what U were trying not to be

THIS RAMAPOSA IS NO STRAIGHT UP GUY. HE SUPPOSED TO PUT IN PLACE SEVERE HARDLINER CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST ANIMAL POACHERS. FOR MANY YEARS ACTIVISTS TALKED TO HIM AND EVEN TO THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENT. THEY DIDN'T DO MUCH OF SHIT.

I stand with Cyril and BRICS. I’m a white South African male

The ANC did promise a BITTER life for all

Who cares about G7 BRICS stands as the best 👌

We don't care! Fuck Europe. Africa doesn't care about france.we are proudly African and we don't need you

President Ramaphoza, you are doing yourself a huge favor to not to attend the summit with colonialists. No-one can be trusted. Please dont send an ambassador to America. The world would be a safer place with the 2 bullies.

From Cape Town…ANC and BRICS is Satanic

World is tired of south africa they just want money eish

Will I live in SA and let me tell you it's the ANC rotten scum its very bad here government steals very very bad

We are bricks we don't care 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Macron talks big. But in the end, like all Western countries, bows to Trump and US no matter the damage it's causing

Europe, US and Israel was and will never be a friend of African continent..Yes Russia ,China Iran and North Korea these are the real friendly countries

Thank you president Donald Trump ❤

Let's not forget that France wanted to be invited to the Brics Summit that was held here in South Africa. Russia was very skeptical and openly expressed that they did not trust France and suspected that this was some kind of infiltration. South Africa refused to invite France.

These politicians are like little boys bullying each other on a school ground🙄

Not being invited to the party doesn't mean your snubbed !! ….Yea right, it just means NOBODY LIKES YOU !!!! I Always thought we would Never get a bigger MORON than Zuma ….guess I'm wrong !!!

Lol you can see we don't care wether we are invited or not… We move and won't stop exposing US for the rot it is

Because we can't mind our own business..SA

Stop lying and spreading misinformation! Ramaposa is a criminal who is involved in terrible things. The world is waking up to the ANC who has spent the 32 short years of power looting and stealing this country from under us.
