South African President Cyril Ramaphosa criticized a visit by the lobby group AfriForum to the White House, as tensions with the Trump administration escalate. The group claims that the Afrikaner community is under attack in South Africa. Ramaphosa stated that the conduct of the group is contrary to nation-building and urged them to discuss and find solutions to their problems within the country. South African diplomats have reportedly had difficulty securing an audience with the Trump administration. Political formations and opposition parties in South Africa have condemned AfriForum and Solidarity for their behavior and spreading misinformation.
