Trump Confronts Ramaphosa Over South Africa Farm Violence

In a tense White House meeting, Donald Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with a video showing EFF leader Julius Malema chanting “Shoot the Boer”—a reference to white farmers. Trump accused Ramaphosa of ignoring violence and land seizures, while Ramaphosa defended South Africa’s democratic freedoms, calling the EFF a minor opposition party.

📽️ The video, later posted on the White House's X account, showed graves and protest imagery, sparking global debate. Ramaphosa calmly dismissed it as unrepresentative of government policy.

🌍 Reactions were mixed—some praised Trump’s bold stance, others called it political theater. Tensions deepened after Trump signed an executive order to cut U.S. funding to South Africa.

🤝 Elon Musk and Johann Rupert were present at the meeting, voicing concerns over South African policies.

🔮 With diplomatic ties under strain, the future of U.S.–South Africa relations remains uncertain.
