Trump did it again: the Zelenski scandal is repeated, this time with the President of South Africa

South Africa rejects the claim that white people are a more common victim of crimes. The percentage of killings in the country is high, but most victims are black.

Ramafosa arrived in the White House, saying he wanted to discuss trade and valuable metals, and the meeting began heartily, as he and Trump exchanged golf replicas. South Africa Golf Champions Erny Els and Retif Gusen were present as part of the guest delegation.

White crosses

But the television meeting in the oval office soon took a different course, with Trump showing video and articles claiming to provide evidence to support his unfounded claims that the white South Africans were persecuted.

South Africa, who had been experiencing discrimination against blacks during colonialism and apartheid, before becoming a multi -party democracy in 1994, in the reign of Nelson Mandela, rejected Trump’s allegations.

A new Land Reform Act aimed at repairing apartheid’s injustice allows expropriation without compensation when in public interest, for example, if the land is unused. Such expropriation has not been carried out and any order can be challenged in court.

The video shown by Trump shows white crosses that Trump claims to be the graves of thousands of white people.

Video and articles

Ramafosa sat expressionlessly as the video walked, curving his neck from time to time to look at him. He said he had not seen the video before and that he would like to find out where he was filmed.

Trump then showed printed copies of articles that, he said, depict killed white South Africans, saying « death, death » while flipping them over.

Ramafosa said that there was crime in South Africa and most of the victims were black. Trump interrupted him and said, « Farmers are not black. »

« These are concerns we are willing to talk about, » he added.

The South African leader has kept peace of mind all the time.

In recent months, Trump has criticized the Land Reform Act and the Genocide Case, filed by South Africa against Israel.

He canceled the aid, expelled the ambassador of South Africa and proposed asylum to white African minority based on allegations of racial discrimination, which Pretoria calls unfounded.

The United States is the second largest two -sided trading partner in South Africa after China. But the country is facing a 30% duty under the currently suspended Trump Liberation Day regime, and Ramafosa expressed a desire to discuss a trade deal and business opportunities.

Later, the South African business tycoon Johann Rupert, who was part of the guest delegation, intervened in support of Ramafosa, saying that crime was a widespread problem and that many black people were also dying.

He nodded to Ilon Musk, the billionaire ally of Trump, born in South Africa, who was also present in the Oval Cabinet, saying that his Starlink telecommunications systems were needed at every police station in South Africa to combat crime.
