If thatβs true, itβs messy politics, not just a simple βinvite cancelled.β
France pulling the invite because of US pressure just shows who really sets the tone in those spaces. South Africa ends up caught in the middle of bigger power games.
And Ramaphosaβs response? Calm, no drama. But letβs be honest, getting sidelined like that on a global stage doesnβt look great, even if they try to keep it diplomatic.
