Golfers also in Trump’s ambush of SA leader


FORMER world number one golfer, Ernie Els, declared himself a “proud South African” as he was dragged into the ambush of his country’s leader Cyril Ramaphosa by US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office in Washington.

Ramaphosa invited Els and another leading South African golfer, Retief Goosen, to accompany him to the White House meeting on Wednesday, where Trump claimed genocide is being committed against white people in South Africa.
