South Africa's Ramaphosa says to discuss nuclear with Putin in future

South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Friday that a private meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week ended with an agreement that the two countries would discuss a nuclear power deal in the future. Ramaphosa has put nuclear expansion on the back burner since taking office in February, saying it is too expensive, and has focused instead on pledges to revive the economy and crack down on corruption. "We have huge financial constraints, we are not able to proceed with a nuclear build programme," Ramaphosa told a news conference at the end of the BRICS summit.
