Trump said South Africa did not deserve to hold the summit.He also emphasized that no US government officials would attend the G20 summit.
Apart from that, what are the real facts about the white genocide in South Africa?
White genocide is a term coined by white supremacists for propaganda purposes.People who use the term believe the white race is dying due to the growing non-white population and forced assimilation.
Similar beliefs can also be seen in the most popular white supremacist slogans throughout the world.
“We must secure the existence of our nation and a future for white children,” according to the European Center for Populism Studies (ECPS).
Other sources say that white genocide is a political myth based on pseudoscience, pseudo history and hatred of certain ethnicities.
In South Africa, there is not a single political party, including those representing Afrikaners, and the white community claims that genocide occurred.
Democratic Alliance (DA) party leader and Defense Minister John Steenhusein called Trump’s claims just “nonsense.”
A senior official at the Afrikaner Solidarity lobby group, Jaco Kleynhans, has also informed US government officials about this.
“There was no genocide and no land grabbing,” Kleynhans was quoted as saying
BBC
.
South African historian from Cambridge University, Saul Debow, said Trump’s chatter was just an illusion.
“There is no basis for Trump’s delusional claim of white genocide,” Dubow was quoted as saying
Al Jazeera.
Trump’s hostility towards South Africa has actually been circulating since the beginning of the year.
In January, President Cyril Ramaphosa introduced new laws to address land ownership disparities.Three decades after apartheid ended, three-quarters of private land is still controlled by the white minority.
Ramaphosa said the law made it easier for the state to expropriate land rather than confiscate it while creating a framework for fair redistribution.
Shortly afterward, Trump accused South Africa of grabbing land and treating certain groups very badly.
“The United States will not tolerate this, we will act,” he said.
Then in May, the US granted asylum to 59 white South Africans as part of resettlement.
The US views this step as necessary to protect white citizens from racial discrimination.
In the same month, Trump met President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House.At that time, he claimed that genocide was taking place against white Afrikaners in South Africa.
Ramaphosa denied the accusations while also providing circumstantial evidence.
“If there was a genocide of Afrikaner farmers, I would bet that these three men would not be here,” he said, pointing to the three white South Africans who were present at the White House.
The three people are professional golf players Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, as well as the richest man in South Africa, Johann Rupert.
Also in May, Police Minister Senzo Mchunu gave details of the farm killings to refute claims of genocide.
Some white farmers were indeed killed, but a lot of misleading information circulated widely on social media and was exploited by right-wing groups.
According to Mchunu’s data, in January to March, six people were killed on farms.Of this number, five were black, and one was white.
In the previous year, from October to December, there were 12 murders recorded on farms.One of those cases was a white resident who also owned a farm
