💨 Abstract

Gareth Cliff faced backlash for his reaction to Donald Trump's decision to exclude South Africa from the 2026 G20 Summit. Trump's move was based on debunked claims about the treatment of white people in South Africa. Cliff's simple "Oh" response was criticized by many, including fellow radio personality Sizwe Dhlomo, who accused him of spreading disinformation and being polarizing.
