CAPE TOWN - President Cyril Ramaphosa has hailed his working visit to the United States as a success.
In his weekly newsletter, Ramaphosa delves into detail the trip. He emphasised that the visit came at a time when SA-US relations have come under increasing strain, largely as a result of misinformation peddled by fringe groups in the two countries.
This included the false narrative about a so-called genocide, and an orchestrated campaign of violence against white farmers. He concluded by saying the visit established a basis for greater engagement and cooperation with the United States.
One person who has first hand experience of the underlying tensions between the two countries is former Ambassador to the US, Ebrahim Rasool.
