Ramafosa survives Trump's ambush over 'white genocide'

Donald Trump turned out to be the political Rottweiler of the right -wing Africaner, fighting South Africa President Cyril Ramafosa.

They were in a hurry to celebrate the ambush of the US President of Ramafosa in the Oval Cabinet, with the Solidarity Movement – which toured the United States to lobby the Trump administration – stating that it welcomed the fact that “the huge problems of South Africa were placed on the international scene.”

Ernst Roet, a leading person to the right of Africaner, showed his admiration for the US president.

“Donald Trump has made a story today,” he said in an X publication before thanking him for showing videos of the opposition policy of Julius Malema, singing “Shoot Bur (Africaner); shoot the farmer” and the titles of the newspapers of the murder of white farmers.

Solidarity Jaco Kleinhans went further, stating that Trump deserved the Nobel Prize in “Putting the Crisis for the Murder of the Farm on the International Agenda”.

But for a leading Africner political colonist Pieter du toit The ambush showed that “months and years of exaggeration, hyperbole and misinformation filed in the American right ecosystem by a number of South African activists who have hit their sign.”

Like many South Africans, he praised Ramafosa for his measured management at the White House meeting, smiling when Trump frowned.

But many people are angry with the right groups, saying they have shown a lack of patriotism by lobbying the Trump administration to take a difficult line against the country.

Similar critics point out the fact that South Africa has a government with national unity – composed of 10 parties of the entire racial and ideological division to deal with countless problems of the nation – from high levels of crime that affect all races and classes, to unemployment of 32%, with black people fighting the job.

For most South Africans, Rainbow Nation was on display in the White House, launching a United Front against Trump.

The government delegation included the richest white politician in South Africa, John Steinhuyzen, the Minister of Agriculture, who led the second largest party in South Africa, the Democratic Union (DA).

He admitted that South Africa has a “real safety problem”, adding that it requires “a lot of effort to get on top of everything.”

“It will require more police resources,” he said.

But he rejected the view that most white farmers were running: “Certainly the bigger part of South Africa trade and small farmers really want to stay in South Africa and make him work.”

Trump's video has strengthened the role of the Opposition Economic Fighter Party (EFF) in South African politics, showing its leader, singing the song “Shoot Bur”.

The party advocates for the nationalization of the earth, and Malema enjoys chanting the song of his political rallies – Trump wants to know why no action has been taken against him.

The song was once an antipartheid anthem, and Africa's lobbying groups have tried to ban it. But the Supreme Court of Appeal in South Africa has ruled that a “reasonably well -informed person” will understand that when “protesters are sung, even by politicians, the words are not intended to be understood literally, nor to be considered as a call for weapons or violence.”

Instead, the song was a “provocative way” of progressing the EFR's political program – which had to end the Land and Economic injustice.

Ramafosa told Trump that South Africa was a democracy – and although the government was “completely against” what Malema was doing, the EFR had the right to exist under the Constitution.

Eff fell fourth in last year's parliamentary elections, with Ramafos refusing to give Malema Political oxygen by making a deal with it to form a coalition government after the poll failed to lead to a direct winner.

Steenhuisen told Trump that DA, a right -wing party, which means a free market economy, has joined the government to keep EFF and help deal with South Africa's problems.

“This government, which works together, needs the support of our allies around the world in order to strengthen our hand, grow our economy and close the door forever to this rebel (Malema), passing through the doors of the Union buildings (the headquarters of the government),” he said.

Steenhuisen and Ramaphosa own the average place in South African policy, the Africa and EFF, along with the former Jacob Zuma president by Umkhonto, are up to date.

Ramafosa has promised to win unity, citing the name of the icon against Apartheid Nelson Mandela-symbol of racial reconciliation in South Africa after the end of the 1994 White Minority rule.

But some Africanists believe that they can no longer live in South Africa and Trump has offered them a refugee status. Nearly 60 of them have been displaced to the United States.

Trump gave impetus to the right, some of which gathered outside the US Embassy in the capital of South Africa, Pretoria, in February with posters that read: “Make South Africa Greater” – an adaptation of Trump Make American Again.

South Africa Land Reform Minister Mzwanele Nyhontso has admitted that the meeting in the oval office is “uncomfortable to watch.”

“There is no genocide in South Africa … There is a crime in South Africa, as in other countries, and this crime affects many people,” he told the BBC Newshour program.

Nyhontso applauds Ramafosa to maintain his self -control, instead of shooting back to Trump when he puts it alaalizing it, with the weapons blazing.

Some of them also praised the president of South Africa for his tactics – bringing famous African golfers at the meeting to defuse tensions.

When he was invited to speak, Erna Els pulled out his passport in South Africa to prove his patriotism – and talked about his respect for Mandela after he was able to unite the country at the end of apartheid – but said he wanted to see South Africa flourishing with the help of America.

Retief goosen may have added more fuel to the fire, talking about how difficult it is for his brother to deal with the northern city of Polokan – explaining how he has encountered a “permanent battle” with people trying to “burn the farm and drive you away.”

Although he was over, saying that despite his fear of crime, “boys live a great life, despite what is happening.”

Billionaire businessman Johan Rupert, also Africaner, said the highest percentage of killings in South Africa was in the cities of Cape Town, where most residents are black or colored – as people with mixed race are known in South Africa – and are at the mercy of the violent Band.

While Zingva Losi, president of the largest union in South Africa, Trump told the devastating situation in rural areas, “where the black majority is.”

“You will see women, the elderly, raped, killed, killed,” she said.

She called on the delegations to cope with the problem through trade – and to create employment.

“The problem in South Africa is not necessarily a race, but it's about crime.”

This is a mood that most South Africans would agree with.
