Social media users in Zimbabwe and elsewhere share and comment on a video showing South African President Cyril Ramaphosa alongside three prominent Zimbabwean business leaders at a Johannesburg technology event. According to reports, the appearance occurs during the Google Cloud Summit held in Johannesburg as part of an AI-focused gathering. In the video, Ramaphosa is shown walking with Zimbabwean tech entrepreneur Strive Masiyiwa, alongside two other Zimbabwean business figures. The shared footage also becomes a subject of online debate, with some users using it to make remarks about anti-immigrant protests taking place in South Africa. The reactions described by the outlets centre on perceived contrast between public messaging around immigration and the presence of Zimbabwean business leaders at a high-profile South African government-linked summit. Both sources frame the issue primarily as a social-media-driven reaction to the summit footage, rather than as a new announcement by officials. The reports do not provide additional details about the summit’s programme, the identities of the other two Zimbabwean leaders, or the organisers’ statements regarding immigration-related protests.
