Is South Africa confiscating land', targeting some groups as Trump claims?
Briefly

President Trump has threatened to cut U.S. funding to South Africa over alleged illegal land grabs, claiming that white South Africans are being targeted. The South African government has strongly refuted these assertions, asserting that no land has been confiscated. The controversy stems from the newly adopted Expropriation Act aimed at addressing historical inequities from apartheid, intended to facilitate land access in public interest while ensuring property rights. President Ramaphosa emphasized that South Africa operates under constitutional democracy, emphasizing justice and equality.
The South African government has not confiscated any land. The recently adopted Expropriation Act is not a confiscation instrument, but a constitutionally mandated legal.
South Africa has always had expropriation laws that balance the need for public usage of land and the protection of the rights of property owners.
