Does South Africa face white extermination as Donald Trump claims?

US President Donald Trump gave members of refugees in the African community in South Africa, claiming that genocide was taking place in the country.

Nearly 60 of them arrived in the United States after giving them asylum.

The South African government allowed the American embassy to consider its requests inside the country, and allow the group to have a rented trip from the main international airport in Johannesburg – not usually associated with refugees fleeing persecution.

The history of South Africa online summarizes their identity by noting that “the modern African is mainly descended from Western Europeans who settled on the southern end of Africa during the mid -seventeenth century.”

A mixture of Dutch settlers (34.8 %), German (33.7 %) and French settlers (13.2 %), formed a “unique cultural group” that defined itself “completely with African soil”, Notice the history of South Africa online.

Their language, African, is very similar to the Dutch.

But when they planted their roots in Africa, African, as well as other white societies, forced the blacks to leave their lands.

The Africans is also known as Boers, which already means Farmer, and the group is still closely related to agriculture.

In 1948, the government led by Africa, South Africa, introduced the apartheid, or an apartment, and took the apartheid to a more extreme level.

This included the laws that prohibited marriages across racist lines, which have been seized many skilled and semi -skilled functions of white people, and forced blacks to live in the so -called towns and homeland.

They were also deprived of a decent education, as African Hinderk Ferord’s leader in the 1950s noted that “the most green pasture blacks should not appear in education. They should know that their station in life is to be a butter of wood and water drawers.”

African dominance in South Africa ended in 1994, when black was allowed to vote for the first time in the country’s elections, thus bringing Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC) to power.

The number of African is currently more than 2.5 million people out of 60 million people – about 4 %.

Any of the political parties in South Africa – including parties that represent African and white in general – claimed that there is genocide in South Africa.

But such allegations were taking place between the right -wing groups for many years, as Trump pointed to the genocide during his first term.

Claims from attacks on white farmers, or misleading information distributed online.

In February, South Africa Judge Refuse the idea of ​​genocide He also “imagines clearly” and “not real”, when judging the case of inheritance that involves a rich donor to the Boerelegioen Group of White Excellence.

South Africa does not launch crime numbers on the basis of race, but the latest figures revealed that 6953 people were killed in the country between October and December 2024.

Among them, 12 in agricultural attacks. Among 12, one of them was a farmer, while five residents of the farm and four employees were likely to be black.

To defend his decision to give the status of African refugees, Trump said that “genocide” was taking place in South Africa, and white farmers were “brutally killing” and “their lands confiscation”.

Trump said he was not sure how the Group of Twentieth Group summit attended the world leaders, to be held in South Africa later this year, in such an environment.

“I don’t know how we can go unless this situation is taken care of,” he added.

South Africa, Cyril Ramavusa, said he is “completely false” the claim that “people from a certain race or culture are targeting persecution.”

In reference to the first group that moved to the United States, he said: “They are leaving because they do not want to embrace the changes that occur in our country and our constitution.”

The government denies that the land is confiscated by farmers, saying that a bill Ramavusa signed in the law in January It was aimed at addressing the disposal of the lands that blacks faced during the rule of the white fly.

But the law was convicted by the Democratic Alliance (DA), the main partner in Ramavusa in the government. DA says it will challenge the law at the highest court in South Africa, as it threatens property rights.

Trump’s close adviser, Elon Musk, who was born in South Africa, referred to “the laws of racist ownership” in the country, claiming that his satellite Internet service provider was not allowed to work in South Africa just because I am not black. “

To work in South Africa, Starlink needs to obtain network licenses and services, which both require 30 % property by historically deprived groups.

This mainly indicates the majority of the black population in South Africa, which was closed outside the economy during the apartheid system.

The Independent Communications Commission of South Africa (ICSA) – an organizational body in the BBC -BBC sectors has never submitted a request for a license.

Musk also accused the EFF fighters (EFF), the fourth largest party in South Africa, of “promoting activity” of collective genocide through a song that she sings in its gatherings.

The Julius Malema brand song carried out by the EFF leader is “Poh the Boer, Shoot The Farmer”, which enriches him in political gatherings.

AFRICANER LPT collections tried to ban the song, saying it was very inflammatory and promoted to hate speech.

However, the South African Supreme Court ruled that Malima was among his rights to sing the lyrics – which were first popular during the hostile struggle – in political gatherings.

The court ruled that “reasonably familiar with” will understand that when “the songs of protest sang, even by politicians, the words are not intended to literally understand, and the fire will not be understood as an invitation to weapons or violence.”

Instead, the song was a “provocative method” to develop the EFF political agenda – which was ending “lands and economic injustice.”

The Lobby Africaum collection submitted an appeal against the ruling, but the highest court in South Africa refused to hear the case, saying it had a little chance of success.

In 2023, the former South African president, Thabu Mapuki Malima, urged to stop singing the song, saying that it was no longer politically relevant as the anti -bars struggle ended.

The African National Congress Party says it no longer sings, but it cannot “describe other political parties what they must sing.”

Despite the end of the rule of the white fly in 1994, its effects are still perceived.

The average living levels are much higher for the white community of black.

Eggs occupy 62.1 % of higher administrative positions, although only 7.7 % of the economically active population in the country, according to a report issued by the South African Committee for fairness.

The government has enacted a number of laws to try to compensate for balance, such as broad economic empowerment and property rights laws.

The amended version of the second law imposes strict employment goals for non -white employees.

While these laws were welcomed by many South Africa, some members of ethnic minorities feel that they are difficult for them to obtain government jobs and contracts. There was also criticism that they could lead to corruption, for example when job opportunities were given to friends and relatives of officials.

Among the critics, the Democratic Alliance, although it was part of the ruling coalition, was recently stabbed in the law of the amended recruitment rights in court, saying it “will make more people marginalized in our economy more than they are already.”

Sports Minister Jayton McKenzi was recently shot when a job was announced in his ministry as only open to the colored, Asian and white population.

He defended the move, saying that he was applying the employment rights law and ensuring “all races were represented”, because most of the people in his ministry were black.

It doesn’t seem.

In March, a business group said that approximately 70,000 Africans had expressed interest in moving to the United States after Trump’s offer – of an estimated 2.5 million people.

On Monday, the American embassy in South Africa issued a statement clarifying the criteria for resettlement, saying that it covered people from any racist minority, not only the Africans, Who can cite a past persecution or fear of persecution in the future.

The latest statistics in South Africa, which took place in 2022, shows that the colored (a term is officially used means people with mixed racist origin) is the largest minority, which constitutes 8 % of the population. White people, including African, are followed by 7 %, and the Asians are 3 %.

After Trump’s offer, the AFRIKANER Lobby Group Solidarity collection published an article on its website: “Ten historical reasons for staying in South Africa.”

In Parliament last week, the leader of the right -wing Freedom Front, in addition to the party, said they were committed to South Africa.

“We are committed to Africa and will build a future for ourselves and our children here,” said Corni Mold.
