📌 Diplomatic Calm Amid Tension in Washington 🇿🇦 South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has received praise across Africa for his composed handling of a provocative meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. During the visit, Trump repeated disputed claims about violence against white farmers — assertions not backed by official data. 📊 South African statistics reveal a much different picture: out of over 26,000 murders in 2024, only 8 victims were farmers. 🤝 Ramaphosa’s calm response underscored his commitment to diplomacy over confrontation, reinforcing his reputation as a leader focused on fact-based dialogue and mutual respect. 💬 “The most important outcome was direct communication,” said South Africa’s foreign affairs spokesperson, emphasizing the value of steady leadership in a turbulent global landscape.
