SA’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africa will not be silenced about global human rights abuses

SA’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africa may be a small nation on the international front, but it will not be silenced about global human rights abuses. In his first-ever address to the Cape Town Press Club on Thursday, Ramaphosa referred to unfolding conflicts in Russia and Ukraine and between Hamas and Israel. He also addressed several pressing issues in the country. Journalists peppered the president with questions, and concerns that stood out were the country’s ever-changing foreign policy, load-shedding, and the upcoming general elections.
