Ramaphosa said that the White South Africans arriving in the US “do not fit the bill” for having refugee status as someone who is leaving their country out of fear of persecution.

Donald Trump confronted President Cyril Ramaphosa during a tense exchange in the White House on Wednesday, with a series of contested claims about the killings of white farmers in South Africa.

Ramaphosa told Trump he brought a 14kg golf book as a gift, while South African golfer Ernie Els told the meeting "two wrongs don't make a right".
