Description

South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile, in an interview with FRANCE 24’s Georja Calvin-Smith, denied President Donald Trump’s claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa. Responding to Trump’s scheme to welcome white South Africans to the US as refugees, Mashatile said, “If they want to be refugees, it's their business. But they can’t bad-mouth the country.” Pretoria is also looking to expand its diplomatic ties with Paris. Mashatile said that while relations with the US are positive and valued, Africa’s powerhouse isn’t putting all its eggs in one basket.
