President Donald Trump shocked the world once again by presenting South Africa’s president with evidence of the long-denied white farmer genocide. During his first term, Trump first alerted the world to the situation in South Africa, but was largely ignored. The South African government called his claims “misinformation,” yet the government has been considering a bill to redistribute land on racial lines. South Africa and the Western liberal news media refuse to acknowledge the ongoing slaughter and elimination of white farmers.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met with US President Donald Trump at the White House. When Ramaphosa told reporters that Trump had refused to listen to the voices of South Africans, Trump asked his staff to lower the lights and began playing a video compilation of direct evidence. One clip showed Economic Freedom Fighters (EEF) Party leader Julius Malema singing “KILL THE BOER, KILL THE WHITE FARMER!” alongside a stadium of 90,000 supporters.
South Africa’s human rights court deemed the song permissible and not a hate crime. While the EEF is an opposition party for the ruling Democratic Alliance (DA), President Ramaphosa failed to comment after the rally. Trump demanded that Malema be arrested and explained that such an event would not be allowed in the US—or elsewhere, for that matter.
The African National Congress (ANC) came to power under Nelson Mandela in 1994 and implemented a series of racially-based policies under Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE). White state workers in every sector were immediately fired and forced to reapply for their jobs, but few were rehired. Land was taken from white farmers and redistributed to address “historical dispossession.”
“After apartheid, our electricity provided the world’s cheapest energy; freight trains carried our ore (from the mines) to the ports; there was a good passenger network for workers. The ANC wrecked it with looting, corruption, and a plethora of racist policies,” noted South African commentator Andrew Kenny. A fifth of whites fled the nation since the ANC took over. The party failed to actually help black South Africans and only redistributed wealth to the very top. The World Bank believes that around 42% of the population is unemployed, while others, like Malema, live lives of luxury.
Newsweek reported in 2018 that a white farmer was murdered every five days. Yet again, Ramaphosa failed to condemn the attacks. There are countless articles explaining horrific and gruesome attacks on white landowners in South Africa, but no one in the government has even acknowledged that it is happening.
Trump cut all financial aid to South Africa through an executive order he signed in February. In addition to the white farmer genocide, the nation has supported both Hamas and Iran. Every news agency is condemning Trump for claiming that there is a white farmer “genocide” occurring in South Africa, and is, in fact, downplaying the murders. “Attacks where there may be evidence of racial or political motives (i.e. slogans written on the wall at a scene of a crime, or words spoken by the attacker according to the victim), are exceedingly rare and make up only a few percent of the cases recorded,” a spokesperson said Afrikaners, as published by PBS and countless other organizations.
South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa reported that the meeting with Trump was excellent and he’s eager to negotiate a minerals deal. The US remains the nation’s second-largest trade partner, after all. Quite interesting to see the same people who cry “human rights” and “racism” at every turn dismissing and downplaying the farmer genocide.
