What happens when the President of South Africa sits down with the President of the United States — and the conversation turns unexpectedly toward “white genocide,” land reform, and racial history?

In this episode of Amjambo Time — Shaping the World’s Voices, host Éloge Willy Kaneza explores the controversial May 21 meeting between President Cyril Ramaphosa and President Donald Trump at the White House. We revisit what was said, what was implied, and why it matters — not just for U.S.-South Africa relations, but for the entire African continent.

Our guest, Dr. Philip Ademola Olayoku, offers expert insight into the strategic stakes, the media spectacle, and the deeper symbolism of this diplomatic encounter — from trade deals and raw materials to propaganda, race politics, and international image-building.
