Summary
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa rejected claims by Trump and Elon Musk that whites face persecution or genocide in South Africa, calling it a “completely false narrative.”
Musk reignited the controversy by citing a rally where a far-left party chanted “Kill the Boer,” which courts previously ruled as protected speech.
Trump issued an executive order cutting US funding to South Africa and offering Afrikaners refugee status.
Ramaphosa noted that violent crime affects all races equally and condemned misinformation surrounding white farmers’ safety.
It’s not even that. Unused land has been taken by the government under eminent domain, and white supremacists have claimed that these actions have “stolen” land from white farmers. In reality, white landowners have been subject to eminent domain seizures at no higher a rate than black landowners.
