ANC secretary-general Fikile Mbalula has hit back at US President Donald Trump and secretary of state Marco Rubio after they accused the South African government of persecuting white Afrikaners and announced that the US would boycott the upcoming G20 Summit in Johannesburg.
Trump sparked outrage on Friday after posting on his Truth Social platform that no US officials would be attending the G20.
It is a total disgrace that the G20 will be held in South Africa. Afrikaners are being killed and slaughtered and their land and farms are being illegally confiscated. No US government official will attend as long as these human rights abuses continue, Trump said.
