South Africa's land reforms and why Trump cried 'white genocide'
South Africa's land reform is a complex and emotional issue rooted in the country’s painful history of colonisation and apartheid. For many years, most land was owned by a small white minority, while the black majority was pushed out. The government has been trying to correct this by returning land to its original owners or redistributing it more fairly. This process has been slow and controversial. In 2018, former US President Donald Trump tweeted about it, claiming white farmers were being unfairly targeted, using the term “white genocide.” His comments sparked global debate, but there has been no proof to support his claim. The focus of South Africa's land reform remains creating a fairer and more equal society for all its citizens.
