While President Cyril Ramaphosa has described the US stance on South Africa as regrettable, US travel into South Africa remains largely unaffected.
Addressing the nation on November 30 in the wake of the G20 Leaders Summit, Ramaphosa said non-participation by the US in the summit, grounded on baseless and false accusations was unfortunate.
This is blatant misinformation about our country. We are aware that the stance taken by the US administration has been influenced by a sustained campaign of disinformation by groups and individuals within our country, in the US and elsewhere, said Ramaphosa.
