  • South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will meet with Donald Trump in Washington, DC, at 12:45pm (16:45 GMT) amid tensions over Washington’s resettlement of Afrikaners, who the US president claims are the victims of “genocide”.
  • Ramaphosa’s office says Trump must prove the charge that white South Africans are persecuted if it continues to push the claim after Ramaphosa’s government has repeatedly rejected it.
