Trump makes false genocide claims. South Africans react with humor.

Mandla Dube, a South African filmmaker, fled his farm three years ago after he was attacked by armed predators.

He lived outside of Pretoria, South Africa's administrative capital, when about eight armed men stormed his house, he said. The robbers showed a gun on him, tied it together for six hours and stole his valuables. He asked her not to harm his adult son.

Mr. Dube remembered the episode when he watched President Trump Lecture South Africa on the persecution of white farmers from the Oval Office on Wednesday. However, the story was not included. Mr. Dube is black and his experience was nowhere in Mr. Trump's vision of South Africa.

“They say:” No, that's not true, “said Mr. Dube and referred to Mr. Trump's statements.” It only makes you go, my geez, how about some of us who have not left this country and who are still here? “

Since Mr. Trump announced in February that he would create an accelerated path for white South Africans in order to be able to move back in the United States as “refugees”, Black South Africans in the country have reacted with a mixture of anger, unbelief and humor.

After lived through brutal apartheid for decades, they say that the Trump administration Africans – the white descendants of the colonizers responsible for this system – were annoying as victims.
