‘I have apologised on your behalf’ – Ramaphosa after Mugabe memorial boos

‘The world expects us to behave in a way where we respect the rights of people from other nations,’ the president said.

“Our image, our standing and our integrity was negatively affected. We will have to work very hard as South Africans to regain our stature, our position and in this regard, it was best to stand up and say we are sorry for what happened,” he said on Monday. Over the weekend, he was booed while delivering a speech at a memorial for former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe in Harare.
