Togo: President Ramaphosa congratulates President Gnassingbé on his reelection

(Togo First) - Cyril Ramaphosa, president of South Africa, has extended his congratulations to Faure Gnassingbé, for winning the recent elections in Togo.

Ramaphosa also praised the Togolese people for organizing peaceful elections, saying it is a “positive step towards deepening democracy across the African continent.” He then reiterated his “commitment to reinforcing bilateral cooperation between South Africa and Togo.”
