Cyril Ramaphos says

President Kirill Ramaphos called a group of 59 white South Africans who moved to the US to resettle the “cowards”, saying that “they would return soon”.

Group Akrikaners arrived in the US on Monday After President Donald Trump gave them refugee status, saying they had faced racial discrimination.

But Ramaphos said that those who wanted to leave were not satisfied with the efforts to resolve the inequalities of the past apartheid, calling them a “sad moment for them”.

“Like the South African, we are stable. We do not run away from our problems. We have to stay here and solve our problems. If you run away, you are a coward, and that’s a real cowardly act,” he added.

Trump and his close ally, a native of South Africa, Elon Musk, said in South Africa there is a “genocide” of white farmers – The statement that was widely discredited.

The United States also accused the South African government of delight in white farmers without paying compensation.

Speaking at the Free State Agricultural Exhibition on Monday, Ramaphos stated that Africans were moving to the United States as they were not “profitable to dispose” for efforts aimed at solving the country’s problems.

“If you look at all the national groups of our country, black and white, they are left in this country because it is our country and we should not run away from our problems. We must stay here and solve our problems,” Ramaphos said.

“I can argue that they will return soon because there is no country like South Africa,” he added.

His note “coward” angered some social media users who condemned it as an insult to the victims of white South African.

A group of Africans welcomed leading US officials who claimed “living under the shadow of violence and terror” in South Africa.

“Welcome to the ground free,” said Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau, receiving the South African people who landed at Dallez Airport near Washington on Monday.

Earlier on Monday, President Ramaphos told the CEO of Africa in Abidjan, the elephant coast that he recently said Trump during a telephone call to the United States’ assessment “untrue.”

“We are the only country on the continent where the colonizers arrived and we never exported them from our country,” he added, rejecting African -held claims.

Ramaphos said dozens of white South Africans who arrived in the United States on Monday “do not match the bill” for refugees.

South Africa’s leader said he intends to meet Trump soon.
