Cape Town \u2014 The United States reporter who called South African president Cyril Ramaphosa an “unidentified leader” has corrected her mistake.<\/p>\n
About 12 hours after she was taken to task by South Africans on Twitter, Darlene Superville – who is the White House reporter for Associated Press- tweeted the same picture with a new caption in which she names Ramaphosa, who is attending the G7 Summit in France.<\/p>\n
The tweet<\/a> now says: “World leader group hug before the group photo at #G7Summit in Biarritz, France. @EmmanuelMacron @CyrilRamaphosa @JustinTrudeau @narendramodi.”<\/p>\n The earlier incarnation<\/a> said: “World leader bear hug before the group photo @ #G7Summit in Biarritz, France. \u2066@EmmanuelMacron \u2069 \u2066@narendramodi \u2066@JustinTrudeau and one unidentified leader.”<\/p>\n However, her new tweet has not done enough, it seems.<\/p>\n She is now being criticised for not apologising:<\/strong><\/p>\n @NgasamaFelix<\/a>: You’ve quietly made correction without an apology to South Africans for disrespecting their president in your earlier twaddle. But then again, apology is a foreign language to a person inflated with ignorance & its conjoined twin arrogance<\/p>\n
