On Wednesday, President Donald Trump expressed his concerns via Twitter regarding the troubling situation in South Africa, specifically the racially charged land seizures and the violence against farmers.
The liberal media quickly leapt at the opportunity to label President Trump a white nationalist.
It seems the mainstream media has taken on the role of public adversary.
In truth, President Trump’s concerns seem valid, and the situation may be even graver than anticipated.
A “land or death” movement is gaining traction in South Africa.
Supporters of this movement claim they are prepared to kill or die for the land historically owned by whites.
In a recent statement, Julius Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), addressed President Trump directly.
Malema described Trump as a “pathological liar” yet acknowledged the truth in Trump’s assertion: that many South African blacks are indeed pursuing white-owned farms.
Julius Malema stated: “We wish to convey a strong message to U.S. authorities, much like we did with the Australian government. Keep out of South Africa’s internal affairs. South Africa is a post-colonial nation grappling with deep-rooted inequalities established by apartheid and colonialism. Our land reform initiative aims to achieve equality and human dignity. Through land expropriation, we are demanding that white South Africans share the land they acquired through acts deemed crimes against humanity. However, let it be clear that we are unfazed by you, Donald Trump, and your imperialist Western forces. In my experience, I have yet to meet a white person who supports land expropriation without compensation. So why the surprise? As for Donald Trump, I don’t have time for this triviality; I anticipated such reaction.”
