Trump's evidence of South Africa 'White General Murder' contains pictures from the Democratic Republic of Congo | South Africa

In some cases, the evidence of supposed mass murders of white South Africans, which Donald Trump had presented in a tense meeting of the White House on Wednesday, were pictures from the Democratic Republic of Congo, while the film materials shown during the meeting were wrongly presented as “graves”.

“These are all white farmers who are buried,” said Trump and held an expression of an article accompanied by an image during the controversial Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

The picture that accompanied the article was indeed a screen grave of a video published by Reuters on February 3 and then checked the news agency from the fact check team, whereby humanitarian workers in the Congolese city of Goma bodily pockets. The picture was drawn by Reuter's film material after fatal battles with M23 rebels from Rwanda were supported.

The White House did not respond to a Reuter's request for comments.

At another point of the meeting, Trump attacked Trump Ramaphosa by playing a video that he claimed that it is obliged against white people in South Africa. Within it, Trump showed the graves of more than a thousand white farmers, which were characterized by white crosses.

The film material – on a motorway that connects the small cities of Newcastle and Normandein in South Africa, actually showed a memorial and not a memorial.

Rob Hoatson, who set up the monument to the public's attention, said the BBC said that it was not a grave.

“It was a monument. It was not a permanent monument that was built. It was a temporary monument,” he said. The monument was set up in the local community after a murder of two Africans.

The video played by Trump on Wednesday contained several faults and inaccuracies, but should support the offer of the President of the “refuge” to persecuted white farmers who annoyed the South African government that denies the allegations. The White House claimed that it showed indications of the genocide of white farmers in South Africa. This conspiracy theory, which has been circulating in the right -wing extremist distribution for years, is based on false claims.

The video was prominent Julius Malema, a politician in Firebrand known for his radical rhetoric. He was seen in several clips who wore the red basket cap of his populist, Marxist-Intincoated Economic Freedom Fighter (Eff) Party (Eff) and the calls to the “Kehle des Weieses” and a controversial anti-apartheid song “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer”.

Trump falsely said that he was a government official who assumed his inflammatory slogans, reflected an official policy against the white minority of South Africa.

Malema is an opposition politician who campaigned for radical reforms, including land redistribution and nationalization of the most important economic sectors.

The party was only fourth in the elections of last year with 9.5% of the votes. During the Oval Office meeting, Ramaphosa and his delegation of Malemas Rhetoric distanced themselves.

The Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen, a member of the democratic Central Right Alliance, told Trump that he had joined Ramaphosa's multi-party coalition, “exactly not to keep these people in power”.

Ramaphosa visited Washington this week to try to deny relationships with the United States after persistent criticism of Trump in recent months about South Africa's land laws, foreign policy and alleged poor treatment of her white minority, the South Africa.
