South Africa: Ramaphosa Rejects Trump, Elon Musk's "White Genocide" Claim | Firstpost Africa | N18G

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has once again pushed back against claims from U.S. President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk that a “white genocide” is taking place in South Africa. Ramaphosa strongly rejected these accusations, calling them a "false narrative" during his weekly address. He urged South Africans to challenge the idea that any racial or cultural group is being targeted for persecution. While he didn’t take names, his remarks were a clear response to Trump’s allegations that the South African government is persecuting the white minority Afrikaner group by encouraging violent attacks on their farms and seizing their land.
