In response to the video, Ramaphosa said the songs do not represent government policy.

Despite the provocative nature of the images, the South African leader maintained a quiet behavior throughout the encounter.

At the time he compared with Trump's past confrontation with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, and analyst Anthony Zurcher said: “There were parallels with the infamous meeting of Zelensky in the oval office, but Ramaphosa maintained its composure.”
