White Genocide Claims
PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA DENIES ‘WHITE GENOCIDE’ CLAIM. Speaking to the New York Times, President Cyril Ramaphosa spoke about being “ambushed” by US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office last year.
During the tense diplomatic engagement, Trump had aides play a video of a group of white Afrikaner South Africans, who claimed that there was a “white genocide” in the country.
Race Laws in South Africa
Elon Musk responded to a tweet from a US conservative critic who criticised President Ramaphosa. The South African-born billionaire tweeted: “There are now more anti-White and anti other race laws in South Africa than there were anti-Black laws under Apartheid!”
Former public prosecutor Thuli Madonsela replied: “Not true.” Radio personality Faith Mangope responded: “It’s fascinating how someone who talks about white genocide and inequality perpetuated against white minorities insists on wanting to do business in the said country.
Here are some key points about the issue:
