| President Trump meets President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office |
1. The Myth Exploded: MeidasTouch Investigation
According to a May 2025 exclusive from the MeidasTouch Network, Donald Trump handed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa a racist printout during their Oval Office meeting—a screenshot from a fringe Facebook page run by South African flat-earther and white supremacist Paul Hattingh.

Hattingh’s page is a cesspool of AI-generated images portraying Black South Africans as apes and glorifying Trump as a white savior. This is the “source” Trump relied on to accuse South Africa of “white genocide.” It’s not just misinformation. It’s disinformation weaponized for political gain.
2. A Quick Historical Primer
 |
| Historical land-grabs 1652-1806 |
-
1652–1806: Dutch VOC settlers (later called Afrikaners or Boers) establish the Cape Colony.
-
1806–1910: British imperial forces take control, later integrating Boer republics into the Union of South Africa after brutal wars.
1913–1994: From the Natives Land Act to full-scale Apartheid, the state entrenches racial dispossession.

1994–Present: Democracy is restored under Nelson Mandela, and land reform begins—but very slowly.

3. Land Ownership and the Seizure Lie
White South Africans, who make up approximately 7% of the population, still own about 72% of the commercial farmland.
The 2025 Expropriation Act allows for the government seizure of only unused or abandoned land, and no commercial farms have been taken without compensation as of this writing (Reuters, Al Jazeera, 2025).
This reform is a legal, measured process—not mob confiscation, and certainly not racial revenge.
4. Are White Farmers Being Killed in a Genocidal Campaign?
Let’s look at the actual numbers:
| Year | Farm Murders | % of Total Homicides (±27,500/yr) |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 50 | < 0.2% |
| 2024 | 32 | ≈ 0.1% |
Most of these murders are robbery-motivated, not racially targeted. Both white farmers and Black farm workers have been victims. The violence is tragic, but calling it genocide is dishonest and irresponsible.
5. The Hypocrisy: Who Gets to Be a Refugee?
Trump’s administration has fast-tracked dozens of white Afrikaners under a “persecution” narrative. At the same time, over 150,000 Afghan interpreters and allies remain in limbo, abandoned after risking their lives for U.S. forces.
This isn’t humanitarianism. It’s a white preference policy.
6. Why the Lie Persists
The “white genocide” myth is a staple of far-right messaging around the world. It animates xenophobia, feeds algorithmic outrage, and gives political figures like Trump an easy villain: nonwhite South Africans seeking economic justice.
It’s not new. It’s just being recycled—this time from a bigot’s Facebook feed into the Oval Office.
Conclusion: Truth Matters
South Africa is still recovering from the scars of apartheid. Yes, there is crime. Yes, land reform is overdue. But there is no campaign—state-sponsored or otherwise—to exterminate white South Africans.
Weaponizing a fake genocide narrative disrespects actual victims of genocide around the world and undermines serious global discourse.
