Lol! Yeah sorry. It came up us a 'breaking news' thing on a feed. I've heard whisper of a resettlement programme for them to the US too.

This just gets better and better. SA needs white farmers to feed the nation, but the people running the nation are too stupid and corrupt to see that. If it's true that Trump will resettle displaced white farmers in US, that's a win for the Americans too who will gain some very skilled, knowledgeable, hard working people.

US could be a beacon of sanity and hope - the liberals will hate it.

What's the truth about South Africa's 'genocide' of white farmers?

South Africa's farmers have been left terrified by a surge in attacks against farmers, but does what is unfolding amount to genocide?

Save South Africa's White Farmers, Activists Plead

The South African parliament is accused of tacitly supporting attacks on white farmers after it passed a motion which could see farmland redistributed without compensation.

The thing is, the SA Govt has pretty much legalised this ****. You must feel proud.

Rightly or wrongly, maybe there's a bit of redressing the balance going on ...

They can make their feelings known in the mid-terms if it's all starting to unravel to a significant degree.

I think from memory something like 80% of farmland is owned by whites so it does need redressing, I agree with that. It's something that should have sorted itself out naturally since apartheid ended but clearly it hasn't.
I'm not sure how best it should be approached but steering it toward what happened in Rhodesia is not the answer.

I had no idea it was so much. It makes more sense now.

It is reverse apartheid by another name imho. Trump is offering to resettle the Afrikaners as refugees to the USA. It is a win win situation, the current SA Government doesn't want them and the US is offering to take them.

South Africa's Land Inequality Persists Despite Decades of Reforms

Land ownership in South Africa remains a deeply divisive issue, with racial disparities persisting three decades after the end of apartheid.

Land ownership in South Africa remains a deeply divisive issue, with racial disparities persisting three decades after the end of apartheid.

White South Africans, who make up just 7.8 percent of the population, own 72 percent of the land, while Black South Africans, who constitute 81.4 percent, control only 4 percent, according to the 2017 land audit.

The roots of this inequality date back to the 1913 Natives Land Act, which initially confined Black South Africans to just 7 percent of the land.

This allocation was later increased to 13 percent under the 1936 Native Trust and Land Act.

Despite post-apartheid efforts to address these disparities, progress has been slow.

Since 1994, only 3.2 million hectares have been transferred to Black owners through land restitution, while 5.8 million hectares have been redistributed, representing less than 10 percent of South Africa's commercial farmland.


The South African Constitution mandates land reform through restitution, redistribution, and tenure reform.

However, with land reform moving at a sluggish pace, the government recently took a more drastic step.

Last month, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law a bill allowing land expropriation without compensation under certain conditions, such as when land is unused, abandoned, or poses a risk to the public.

The move has ignited global controversy. Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced he would cut all future funding to South Africa, alleging that the government was confiscating land and mistreating certain groups.

In a statement on his platform Truth Social, Trump declared that funding would be withheld "until a full investigation of this situation has been completed.



" He later told reporters that South African leadership was engaging in "horrible things" and suggested that land seizures were just the beginning of deeper problems.

Ramaphosa swiftly dismissed Trump's claims, emphasising that South Africa remains committed to the rule of law, justice, and equality.

He stated that the government had not confiscated any land and clarified that U.S. funding to South Africa primarily comes through the Pepfar health initiative, which supports HIV/AIDS programs and accounts for 17 percent of the country's treatment efforts.

The U.S. allocated approximately $440 million in assistance to South Africa in 2023. Some critics, including billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, have weighed in on the debate.

Musk, a South African-born businessman and Trump adviser, accused the government of discrimination against White landowners, asking Ramaphosa on social media, "Why do you have openly racist ownership laws?"

South Africa's new land law has drawn comparisons to Zimbabwe's controversial land seizures in the early 2000s, which led to economic collapse and investor flight. Critics argue that without proper safeguards, a similar fate could befall South Africa.

AfriForum, an organisation advocating for White Afrikaner rights, has called for amendments to the law to protect property rights, though it opposes Trump's threat to cut funding. The group suggested that any punitive measures should target "senior ANC leaders" rather than the South African public.


South African Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe responded to Trump's comments by suggesting that the country could withhold its mineral exports, including platinum, iron, and manganese, if the U.S. cuts financial assistance.

The African National Congress (ANC), led by Ramaphosa, governs South Africa in a coalition with nine smaller parties.

The party has long argued that land redistribution is necessary to correct historical injustices, but opposition parties and business leaders warn that the new law could destabilise the economy.

Trump previously criticised South Africa's land policies during his first term, instructing then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to investigate reports of "farm seizures and expropriations and the large-scale killing of farmers." At the time, the South African government dismissed his claims as misinformation aimed at sowing division.

SA's loss is America's gain. Ever since majority rule in SA, there has been reverse apartheid - they have names to disguise it, eg. affirmative action. Even the power cuts because the corrupt government haven't maintained the electricity grid (a grid that functioned perfectly well when the caucasians were in charge) are termed 'load shedding' to try to disguise what's really happening.

Lucky Afrikaaner farmers. Wish I could claim asylum in US from Starmer's failed state.
