The South African Vice President has rejected claims of a "debt trap."

In an exclusive interview with China Media Group (CMG), South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile strongly refuted the narrative of some Western media outlets, which claims that China is creating a so-called "debt trap" in Africa.

Mashatile stated that some critics in the West disagree with the growing cooperation between China and African countries, which, according to him, leads to a continued wave of negative comments and criticism. He emphasized that South Africa has only experienced positive results from its partnership with China, and praised China for treating African countries with respect and as equal partners.
