JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African Foreign Affairs Minister Lindiwe Sisulu said on Thursday that it was regrettable that U.S. President Donald Trump's tweet on land issues in her country was "based on false information".

Sisulu said she had instructed officials in her department to meet with the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria to seek clarification on the matter, and added that she would communicate with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo through diplomatic channels.
