from key clips aired, SA President cyril ramaphosa conducted a masterclass on how to prepare for all future meetings with Trump in the WhiteHouse.

when trump attempted to hijack the meeting for a PR stunt to appease his rascist MAGA base regarding 'white farmer' genocide, ramaphosa was ready :

1. he spoke calmly but directly with opening attempts based on facts. [far more black farmers are under the same pressure from criminal gangs (like ms13 in america), 7% white pop holds 50% of land, and are being paid for it via Eminent Domain procedure...]
when using reason predictably failed...
2. ramaphosa realizing he was gonna to face trump's all-white head nodding posse in their assigned seats, he had a lineup of well regarded south africans to not only back him up, but to speak independently.
in an awkward moment, one appealed for agreement and support from musk in the opposing lineup, who seemed to concur through silence.
(e.g., it matter not that ernie els is a political nobody, only that he is an accomplished white SA golfer that had long impressed trump)

as an aside, cyril ramaphosa stated he wished he had a plane for trump to smooth relationships.
the jibe appeared to go over trump's head, as he agreed.
