Statement on White Genocide or White Farmers being Killed in South Africa:
I’m here in South Africa, meeting with White farmers, White business owners, and even some former Apartheid leaders, and here’s what they’re telling me: President Donald J. Trump is a great president, but there is no “White genocide” happening here. They were genuinely surprised that this claim even made it to the international stage.
They do agree that the song sung by Julius Malema, "Kill the Boer," is divisive and shouldn’t be part of the national conversation. It fuels unnecessary tension. But when it comes to actual targeted killings or a genocide of White South Africans, that’s just not the reality on the ground.
What is real is the devastatingly high crime rate across the country, with most of the victims being Black South Africans. Unemployment is crushing, and poverty is driving violent crime in all communities.
Thanks to the Oval Office meeting between President Trump and President Ramaphosa, three powerful things have happened:
1. The “White genocide” claim has ironically united the country. Black and White South Africans are standing together saying, this isn’t who we are.
2. It has forced crime and safety to the top of the national agenda. South Africans are demanding solutions.
3. It has led to a long-overdue conversation about revisiting BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) to make sure it benefits everyone, not just a select few.
Here���s the most important part. These perspectives aren’t coming from Black South Africans. They’re coming from White South Africans. They love their country, and many of them believe President Trump was misinformed by people who wanted an excuse to leave.
The truth is more complicated, but South Africans, Black and White, are working together to move forward.
President Trump sparked a conversation, and now South Africa is responding with the hopes that he will attend the G20 in South Africa to receive the baton from President Ramaphosa as the G20 will be in the United States next.

@GaytonMcK We don't need rich people or comedians in government. We need smart people, we need measured people, we need humble people, we need grown ups.
@misspee The EFF and MK represent the opposite of law and order, peace, stability. The economy would collapse, capital would leave the country, companies would close, there would be no work, no taxes, no services.
@Sirprise6@alanwinde No. He had been assigned to the provincial vacancy before the tragedy but has agreed to stay on as mayor until after the elections for continuity.
