Political analysts are calling President Donald Trump’s decision to screen Julius Malema’s ‘Kill the Boer’ footage during bilateral talks an ‘orchestrated ambush’.

This follows a confrontation at the Oval Office, where President Donald Trump reiterated claims of ‘white genocide’ in South Africa.

This, as University of Johannesburg Professor Chris Landsberg praises President Cyril Ramaphosa’s restrained response to what he describes as a deliberately provocative Oval Office moment.

Professor Landsberg also adds that President Ramaphosa’s response to the situation was very good and calm.

Meanwhile, colleague Professor Kwandiwe Kondlo says President Donald Trump didn’t pay attention to detail when he made allegations against South Africa, arguing that the SA delegation arrived underprepared for Trump’s allegations.
