With President Cyril Ramaphosa's visit to the White House, South Africa aims to counter this misinformation and advocate for ongoing trade partnerships, highlighting the benefits of collaboration as the largest African economy. Ramaphosa will also address his relationship with notable critic Elon Musk.
