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.

    Read up on Orania. The South-African government doesn’t harass those Afrikaners trying to have their own little closed community.

    And honestly, I think that approach is the best. If right wing people want to self-segregate in gate communities without harming anyone, then I think that’s the least bad option.

      The problem is that they turn into echo chambers and hate incubators. They need to be integrated with the rest of society.
