Fact-Check: The South Africa Trump Got Wrong During Meeting With Ramaphosa | Firstpost Africa | N18G
During a meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, US President Donald Trump shared a video filled with misleading claims about South Africa. He suggested that the government is seizing land from white farmers and that white people are being targeted in a so-called “genocide.” But many of the claims in the video are false. For example, the politician shown calling for land occupation is not part of the government but leads a small opposition party. Trump also showed clips of an old anti-apartheid chant, “Kill the Boer,” and used it as proof of hate against white farmers. But that song comes from South Africa’s past struggle against apartheid and has been ruled as symbolic, not literal.
