South Africa appears to be at a crossroads in its waxing and waning relationship with the US following President Donald Trump 's decision to cut financial aid to the country.

Trump said South Africa was pursuing what he called "unjust and immoral practices" against the white minority Afrikaner community.

The two countries have generally had friendly relations since the end of white-minority rule in 1994 .

The latest tension flared up a few days after Trump 's inauguration last month .

South Africa assumed the presidency of the G20 in December last year , seeing it as an opportunity to bolster its international standing.

But in a snub to South Africa , US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced that he will not attend a G20 meeting of foreign ministers taking place next week in Johannesburg .

South Africa has accused Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians living in Gaza , an allegation Israel denies.
