Donald Trump ‘ill-informed’ about land issue, says South African President
|Johannesburg, South Africa (CNN)In an exclusive interview with CNN, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa criticized Donald Trump’s views on South Africa’s land debate and blamed — in part — “fringe groups” lobbying in the US.
“They are finding people who get some resonance with what they are saying, and these people are ill-informed about what is happening here. Just as President Trump was ill-informed about the messages that they are beaming out,” said Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa’s comments come as CNN released an investigation proving ties between US and South African far-right groups and a growing belief in the myth of a white genocide of South African farmers.
