West African Countries Shower President Ramaphosa With Honours & Titles On Tour

South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has concluded a successful business tour of four West African economic giants – Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Senegal.

Ramaphosa stressed his foreign policy was focused on strengthening ties with SA’s “sister countries” on the African continent.

Apart from strengthening economic ties, SA’s fourth democratically elected leader was also showered with multiple national honours, some of which were last conferred on a South African president during the Nelson Mandela Presidency in the mid 1990s.

The president began his tour in Nigeria on 30 November and concluded it in Senegal on Wednesday, 08 December 2021.

First leg of West Africa tour: NIGERIA (no national honours).
