EFF Urges G20 Boycott After U.S. Moves to Bar South Africa From Miami Summit

Malema blames the U.S. decision on South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the ICJ.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump has said the United States will not invite South Africa to next year’s G20 meeting in Miami.
  • The EFF announced it will push for a complete boycott of the Miami summit if South Africa remains excluded.
  • Malema argued the fallout stems from South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel and the country’s alignment with partners such as China, Russia, Brazil and India.
  • He praised President Cyril Ramaphosa’s handling of the dispute and vowed to mobilise international condemnation of Trump’s stance.
  • The standoff follows Washington’s withdrawal from the Johannesburg G20 after initially confirming attendance, with Malema escalating his rhetoric by calling Trump a modern-day Hitler and rejecting claims of abuses against white Afrikaners as unsubstantiated.
