South Africa's government is engaging with the Trump administration to clarify misconceptions about violence against white farmers and land expropriation. Trump's accusations of genocide and unfounded claims regarding land theft have raised serious concerns. Stakeholders, including Afriforum and agricultural leaders like Dr. Theo de Jager, have emphasized that while farm murders are a critical issue, equating them with genocide is inappropriate. They seek acknowledgment of the problem from the South African government and a collaborative approach to address farm safety.
This is not a genocide. We know what a genocide is. We have seen it in Rwanda.
We want the government to acknowledge that we have a problem, and when they acknowledge that, we want them to set up a special task team to plan with us to prevent this.
