The article discusses President Trump's claims regarding the mass killings of white farmers in South Africa, which a CNN correspondent, Larry Madowo, rigorously debunks. Madowo explains that Trump’s assertions stem from a misunderstanding of a South African law allowing land seizure, which has not yet been enacted. He emphasizes that the South African government has not supported Trump’s narrative and that the actual data reveals a significantly lower number of farm-related murders, undermining the idea of a systematic attack on white farmers. This situation has, however, provided validation to white nationalist sentiments.
After 15 years reporting in South Africa, I've found no evidence, Madowo said. We've looked at it again. South Africa does not release crime statistics by race, but they do release the number of farm murders.
This was a good day for white nationalists in South Africa, Madowo said. This was a good day for AfriForum... Because these were their talking points that President Trump has repeatedly said from the platform of the Oval Office.
