President Cyril Ramaphosa has congratulated US president-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris with their election victory.
Ramaphosa joined a number of leaders congratulating the pair, including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“We look forward to working with you and deepening our bonds of friendship and cooperation,” Ramaphosa said on his Twitter account.
Herman Mashaba, the leader of the newly-formed Action SA, also weighed in, “On behalf of Action SA, I would like to congratulate US president-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect Kamala Harris for their historic election victory.”
“The election is not only historic for seeing the first woman — a woman of colour — elected to the office of vice-president, but for the historic turnout from Americans who went to the polls to cast their vote,” Mashaba said in a statement.
