Ramaphosa says US claims of Afrikaner genocide stem from disinformation campaigns harming South Africa’s national interests and its G20 relations.
- On November 30, 2025, President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the nation, calling US President Donald Trump's genocide claims against Afrikaners `blatant misinformation` and `baseless and false`.
- Last week, President Donald Trump announced the US would not allow South Africa to participate in G20 programmes including the Miami leaders' summit next year, citing human-rights violations and the unfair treatment of Afrikaners.
- Ramaphosa said a sustained campaign of disinformation by groups and individuals in South Africa and the United States influenced the US stance and warned it endangers South African national interests, jobs, and relations, inviting critics to the National Dialogue.

- Nearly 600 US business leaders attended the B20 meetings, and several Western European allies defended South Africa as a founding G20 member while leaders adopted a Johannesburg declaration.
