People all over the world were glued to their seats to watch Cyril Ramaphosa and Donald Trump’s meeting at the Oval Office on Wednesday. Both parties were ready to discuss the allegations of white genocide in South Africa.

President Ramaphosa tried to defend his country against the damning allegations made by Trump and Elon Musk. During the meeting, one South African youngster noticed the Mzansi president’s African-coded reactions and shared them online.

Social media users were dusted by Ramaphosa and discussed the meeting in a thread of comments. The South African president exposed his African roots with the sudden change of emotions that only the Mzansi people could detect.

At some point, Trump suggested that he would have been happy if Ramaphosa had gifted him a plane, but he replied:

“I’m sorry, I don’t have a plane to give you.”

This line dusted many South Africans. The youngster captioned her video:

“Cyril has the patience of a saint.”

Ramaphosa was fidgeting in his chair, and often smiled while Trump was fixated on the thought of South Africa facing a white genocide, even after Johan Rupert, John Steenhuisen, and Zingiswa Losi explained that there was no such thing.  The American president pulled out a 2018 video of Julius Malema’s rally and old newspapers that spread misinformation on the issue.

South Africans applauded Ramaphosa for his composure and willingness to maintain a good relationship with Americans.
