Ramaphosa insists South Africa will send envoys to ‘transactional’ US once offer is crafted
President Cyril Ramaphosa insists that his government intends following through on sending envoys to the US as announced during his State of the Nation Address but that it will do so once it has crafted a “transaction” that could find favour with President Donald Trump’s administration. Speaking during a session in Parliament to reply to questions from lawmakers, and specifically in response to a supplementary question posed by ActionSA MP Athol Trollip whether his envoys had not been beaten to it by “self-appointed envoys” in the form of AfriForum and Solidarity, Ramaphosa said: “No, we have not been beaten to it. We’ve been in very good preparation.”
