High praise for South Africa's president after being confronted by Donald Trump at the White House.

There was a tense exchange this morning between the US President and South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa.

Trump alleged white farmers are fleeing South Africa en masse, with thousands being massacred there.

He demanded video be played that he claimed backed up his allegations.

South Africa's High Commissioner to New Zealand, Johhny Sexwale, says Ramaphosa handled himself well.
