“There’s just no genocide in South Africa and of course it is an issue of how one looks at it,” he said. “As they say, sometimes the shape of the mountain depends on which point or direction you’re looking at it. In this case we cannot equate what is alleged to be genocide to what we went through in the struggle because people were killed, because of the oppression that was taking place in our country.”
But Ramaphosa suggested that Trump remains open to persuasion, telling reporters: “When he was asked by one of you - and thank God one of you asked - whether he was convinced that there was genocide, he says no, he’s not convinced. Much as he flighted the video and all those press clippings, in the end I do believe that there’s doubt and disbelief in his head about all this.”
