Trump’s Africa Talking Point Unravels After Comments From White South Africans Fire Back On Genocide Lies

President Donald Trump has announced a boycott of the G20 Summit in South Africa, claiming that the nation, under Black-majority rule, is engaging in “white genocide.” However, a significant number of white South Africans are countering these allegations, labeling Trump's claims as “misleading” and “dangerous” through an open letter signed by over 1,500 Afrikaners. These individuals include journalists, academics, and business leaders who reject the portrayal of Afrikaners as victims post-apartheid.South African President Cyril Ramaphosa's African National Congress (ANC) has similarly dismissed Trump's assertions as false. ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula declared, “There is no racial discrimination happening in South Africa,” defending the nation’s legal framework aimed at correcting apartheid-era imbalances. Despite Trump's claims, the G20 Summit in Johannesburg is set to proceed on November 22 and 23, symbolizing significant global engagement with Africa’s evolving identity.
