President Cyril Ramaphosa has hailed visa-free travel for Kenyan nationals as one of South Africa’s most successful policy decisions, saying it has boosted tourism, business travel and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
Ramaphosa made these remarks while hosting Kenyan President William Ruto and his delegation for a State Visit at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Thursday, where he said the visit reflected the growing strength of bilateral relations and a shared commitment to deepening cooperation.
He said South Africa and Kenya were strengthening trade, investment and strategic cooperation aimed at advancing African integration, industrialisation and inclusive economic growth.
