Durban - President Cyril Ramaphosa and US President, Donald Trump conducted a rare telephone conversation with each other when the two leaders spoke on Thursday about the impact the coronavirus pandemic was having on their respective countries.
While details of the discussion were not fleshed out, President Ramaphosa tweeted that he had a "very productive call" with Trump on the impact Covid-19 was having on the two countries. However a spokesman from the US embassy is reported to have said that the US has pledged $250m to help South Africa fight the coronavirus taking the total commitment made by the US to South Africa to fight the virus to over R400m.
It came as South Africa's death rate from the coronavirus jumped by 10 new deaths on Thursday rising to a total of 75. Health Minister Zweli Mkhize announced that there were 318 confirmed cases on Thursday, the single biggest increase of coronavirus cases since the government began tracking the virus.
