Trump's “White General Murder” shares ignore the reality of life and crime in South Africa | Trump Administration

It was an ambush that was made directly from a reality TV playbook. The Oval Office meeting with the South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, began exchange of courtesia before Donald Trump said: “Turn the light off” and a video was played to support his wrong claims that white South African farmers are murdered for their races.

Ramaphosa was prepared with the South African Champion, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, who the Golf Mad Trump described as “friends”, as well as the richest person, Johann Rupert, the richest person in South Africa.

Ramaphosa, who led the African National Congress (ANC) delegation in the talks, which ended the Apartheid-Rules of the White Minority three decades ago, had to play its strongest cards.

In February, Trump signed an executive regulation that reduced the help of South Africa and accused them of “unjust racial discrimination” against the white African minority that the country ruled during apartheid. The order criticized a South African law that enabled land control under limited circumstances and set up a program to bring Africans to the United States as refugees. The first group came to the beginning of this month.

The South African media had speculated whether Ramaphosa went into a television trap, such as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just a few months earlier.

The video of the White House was probably a surprise for the South Africans. Together it was afraid of clips from Julius Malema, the leader of the far -left economic freedom fighters (Eff) opposition party who said: “We will fill land” and “We must never be afraid of killing” before he is a different name for Africans and the means that “farmer” in Africa) is.

Malema, whose populism is supposed to shock – and whose effect only won 9.5% of the votes in the elections of South Africa in 2024 – will probably be enthusiastic about attention after deciding by South African courts, which decide that the killing of the Boer should not be literally taken.

Former South African President Jacob Zuma, who is now heading his own opposition party, Umkhonto Wesizwe (MK), can also be seen in the video and sings in Zulu: “We will shoot them. You will run.”

The video ended with a drone of white crosses that came out of a street on which vehicles stood in the queue. Trump said they had paid more than 1,000 murdered white farmers respect. Ramaphosa said he had never seen the video that was converted into X on X after his release in South Africa and Trump consultant Elon Musk.

Trump then whipped out a sheaf of printed news articles in which he intoned “death … death” before he handed it over to Ramaphosa.

It was not immediately clear where the white crosses had been turned or whether the film material was real. The Whitkruis monument is a monument to dead South African farmers, but the crosses are clasted on a hill on a private country.

While there were agricultural murders with terrible violence, Murderer in prison to Rudolph Zinn, a professor of the University of Limpopo, said they were aiming for victims of all breeds for cash and valuables. In the last quarter of 2024, the South African police recorded 12 murders of farms, including black ownership, of almost 7,000 murders across the country.

South African Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen, the African leader of the main competitor of the ANC, the Democratic Alliance, which receives the majority of his support from White South Africans, said most farmers wanted to stay in South Africa. He also defended the coalition of the DA with the ANC to endure the “gender department” and the MK parties.

The words of the two golfers may have been less helpful. Els was cryptic: “Two mistakes do no right.” Goosen spoke of his brother's “constant struggle” to people who tried to burn down and take his farm away.

However, their presence could get Trump out of attack mode. “I respect champions,” he said. “I think the country is very lucky. They really wanted to be here, these two. They could have been on a beautiful fairway.”

South Africa's strongest defender was Rupert, whose luxury goods conglomerate Richemont Cartier has. Regarding Malema and Zuma, he said: “I am your No. 1 target.”

Rupert pointed out that all South Africans are the destinations of crime. He said how much his wife Jd Vance's autobiography loved and asked for Elon Musk Starlink satellite service at police stations.

However, it remains to be seen whether a billionaire and a few rounds with the best golfers will be sufficient to fill Trump and persuade him to take part in the G20 summit in Johannesburg in November.
