Tensions were high across South Africa this week, when SA President Cyril Ramaphosa took the hotseat in the Oval Office and the world wondered whether we’d see another Zelensky-type ambush.
There’s a lot at stake for NGOs like ours and South Africa simply can’t afford to be alienated from the USA. Thankfully, although the segment of the meeting that was televised to the world was as tough to watch, as predicted, indications are that the more substantive trade meetings that took place before and after were far more cordial and even somewhat successful. Details are still to emerge but, as I write this, our Infinite Family is daring to heave a small sigh of relief.
