SA Prez to be R-Day chief guest after Trump refusal: Report
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will reportedly be the chief guest at Republic Day celebrations next year, weeks after the White House confirmed US President Donald Trump will not be able to attend due to "scheduling constraints". Ramaphosa, a follower of Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela, was invited as the year will also mark Gandhi's 150th birth anniversary.
