Trump accuses Ramaphosa: Genocide on white farmers - fakes exposed!

Mbombela, Südafrika - President Donald Trump sharply criticized South African President Cyril Ramaphosa during a meeting in the Oval Office. He accused Ramaphosa of doing nothing against an alleged "genocide of white farmers" in South Africa. Trump presented media reports, videos and social media content as evidence, which, however, were often exposed as wrong or unmasked from the context. According to Krone, Trump also showed videos by Jacob Zuma in an emotional presentation, who is starting a controversial apartheid song, as well as a speech by Julius Malema that has no current political relationship with Ramaphosas cabinet.

Trump's representation of a social media video, which shows white crosses in a landscape, which he described as the graves of "thousands" white farmers. In fact, it is a temporary memorial after the murder of a white farmer couple in 2020, which has now been removed. Ramaphosa reacted and explained nothing to know about the recordings shown.

statistical reality

The crime statistics of South Africa provide a different perspective. According to the information from Tagesschau, there was a total of 19,696 murders in 2024, of which only seven farmers were affected, which is severely relativized by the alleged persecution of white farmers. In fact, the statistics have shown that less than 0.2 percent of the murders in South Africa are connected to agricultural companies.

The definition of genocide, as determined by the United Nations, is not fulfilled by the evidence presented. Since the end of Apartheid in 1994, the claim that white farmers are being pursued specifically, a narrative that was taken up by various politicians and also by Elon Musk.

brutality of violence

The discussion about security in South Africa is also fueled by incidents such as the murder of Marian and Choppie Bruwer in 2018, which were parts of the white boronity. The family tragedy is an example of the brutal "farm mords", which often take place in remote areas. According to a report by the taz, this type of violence is often politically exploited, but it remains a serious problem of crime in South Africa.

A former police officer, Johan Burger, describes these cases as fatal house burglaries that often end brutally. In view of this reality, a large -scale security industry has developed in which many homeowners protect their properties with high walls and alarm systems. Groups such as Afriforum fight against the expropriation of land without compensation and offer legal support, while critics argue that the widespread narrative of endangered white farmers conveys a distorted view of the actual crime in the country.

The continuing debate about violence in South Africa and the associated political narratives raises questions about reality and perception of security in the country. Trump's statements not only seem to be characterized by a distorted factual situation, but also by a deeply rooted political agenda that is connected to the historical context of the country.
