US President Donald Trump signs executive orders at the White House
US President Donald Trump has again used his social media profile to post negative comments about South Africa.
They contain a screengrab of Elon Musk’s earlier X post accusing the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) of actively promoting white genocide in South Africa.
Musk’s post is linked to another that shows a video of EFF leader Julius Malema leading a Human Rights Day Rally in a rendition of the controversial struggle song Dubula Ibhunu.
In 2022, the Equality Court ruled that the singing of the song was protected under the freedom of speech. Lobby groups like AfriForum believe the song incites hatred towards white farmers.
Musk’s post from a day earlier claims that very few people know that there’s a major political party in South Africa that is actively promoting white genocide. His post links through to the EFF video posted by former DA MP Renaldo Gouw’s handle with Malema singing ‘Kill the boer, the farmer”.
Musk again erroneously claimed that the government passed a law legalizing the taking of property from white people at will and without payment and that Starlink could not get a license because he, Musk, was not black.
Trump’s post highlighting this narrative came on a day former US Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool landed in Cape Town.
