Radical South African politician Julius Malema confirmed President Donald Trump’s concerns Thursday, declaring defiantly that the point of the country’s proposed new “expropriation without compensation” policy would be to take land from white farmers.
“Through land expropriation, we are forcing white people to share the land which was gained through a crime against the humanity of black and African people,” Malema said in a press conference, referring to the racist land policies of colonialism and apartheid. On Wednesday evening, President Donald Trump’s tweeted that he had directed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers.”
He appeared to be reacting to a segment on Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News that evening, during which Carlson highlighted a State Department statement on South Africa’s proposed land reforms that seemed to defend the South African government’s approach and downplay criticisms.
The South African government reacted angrily: “South Africa totally rejects this narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation and reminds us of our colonial past.” Trump’s domestic critics accused him of racism, and spreading fake news.
But South African critics of the proposed land reform policy applauded Trump for speaking out, and the most radical supporters of the policy — like Malema — confirmed the racial motivations behind the new policy, while daring the United States to do anything about it. “We must put it on record, unequivocally, that Donald ‘the pathological liar’ Trump, we are not scared of you and your USA or Western imperialist forces,” said Malema, the leader of the small but vocal Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) opposition party.

If I owned farmland in South Africa, I would sell it to aspiring black farmers at the best price I could get. They would buy, because we all know the land is going to those with connections, and those who merely have aspirations will get nothing. Then I would quickly leave the country before the famines hit. It’s a shame to see leftism destroying another country. This is why envy is number ten of the top ten list in Exodus.
““We are not the generation that is going to kneel at the statue of Western imperialism....”
You will kneel at the Statue of “Where did the food go” in just a few years. Suck on it.
Someone needs to cap Malema. What’s the big deal ? Surely there are some talented sharpshooters among those Boer farmers .
Another government attacking their citizens. It is as if the founding fathers knew something about humanity when they enshrined the 2nd amendment as an inalienable right.
Go buy guns and ammo, folks. If leftists take over the US government, we will see the same thing here.
JoMa
This turd will be kneeling before the Chinese gods when they go in and take their natural resources. He will be fine with that cause he’s a commie too.
pull all funding, let the world rot if their center is hate..
If you are White, get out now, you should have already left. Destroy everything as you go. The new import to SA should be crates of AK-47s.
its already happening no doubt
We must stop this genocide!! Land the marines!!
The Boers did not take the land from black Africans i.e. Bantus. They did take it from Khoi/San- Bushmen which folks are unrelated to the Bantu. They are another race entirely. The Bantu were migrating southward when they met the Boers migrating northward. The Bantu also took land from the Khoi/San and killed as many as they could catch. In the matter of Boer and Bantu, the Boers were there first.
Bring the White Boer Farmers over here. Let Africa starve to death.
No need for decent people to destroy. Socialists who believe "you didn't build that" will destroy everything once they have control. I'd just sell to anyone who will buy, at any price, and get out.
One of the saddest conversations I ever had was talking to an older woman from Rhodesia on the commuter train in Washington DC. She had lost everything, her entire life was behind her in what is now called Zimbabwe. She escaped with only her life in her memories.
One of the most interesting conversations I ever had was with an older woman on an airplane flight to Seattle from Washington DC, she was a nurse in Rommel’s Afrika Corps and she was a grand old lady. I was in uniform and we had a fine flight, When we arrive in Seattle she took this young uniformed petty officer under her wing to his next flight. I respected her military service and was enlightened by our discussion of the times that she had through during World War II campaigns with Field Marshal Rommel.
Expand your thinking.
This is being used as a wedge issue.
Don’t engage.

CHINA REAL TIME REPORT
In South Africa, Chinese is the New Black
Jun 19, 2008 7:59 am HKT

A high court in South Africa ruled on Wednesday that Chinese-South Africans will be reclassified as “black,” a term that includes black Africans, Indians and others who were subject to discrimination under apartheid. As a result of this ruling, ethnically Chinese citizens will be able to benefit from government affirmative action policies aimed at undoing the effects of apartheid.
In 2006, the Chinese Association of South Africa sued the government, claiming that its members were being discriminated against because they were being treated as whites and thus failed to qualify for business contracts and job promotions reserved for victims of apartheid. The association successfully argued that, since Chinese-South Africans had been treated unequally under apartheid, they should be reclassified in order to redress wrongs of the past.

Those farms will be confiscated, the land sold to Chinese, proceeds pocketed.
Is he calling the NY Times a liar???
South Africa is turning into 3rd world S**thole and the black leaders need a scapegoat...guess who that will be?
South Africa already has a water problem, soon they will have a food problem. Add corruption and socialism and it is obvious South Africa is doomed.
This road South Africa is on will lead to one thing only, genocide.
Whites in South Africa are in a similar situation as the Jews were in Nazi Germany of the 1930s. The time to get out is now. Abandoned everything and leave. Possessions are worthless when you are dead!
I guess the Boers can’t just move another exit down the interstate like we do ... for now.
