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.
