EFF condemns inclusion of Johann Rupert in SA delegation set to meet Trump

# The EFF has condemned the inclusion of businessman, Johann Rupert, in president Cyril Ramaphosa’s delegation set to meet US president Donald Trump at the White House today. Government has labelled the much-anticipated meeting as an opportunity to reset relations. The EFF says Rupert is a major beneficiary of unequal land and economic relations in South Africa, and has in the past even threatened to disinvest in the country. The party adds that the inclusion of Rupert in a diplomatic delegation is a spit in the face of democracy.
