President Donald Trump claimed that there is a continuous “genocide” against white farmers in South Africa during a tense meeting with South African President Cyril Ramavusa at the Oval Office on Wednesday.
Ramavusa, the main political concerts in South Africa and the Judge of South Africa, denied the existence of a white genocide in the country.
Elon Musk, a citizen of South Africa and a great advisor to Trump, attended a Ramavosa visit to the White House. Trump’s allegations have already been expressed that white South Africa flee the country because of “violence and racist laws.”

In February 2025, the South African Court ruled that the white genocide allegations are unfounded, describing them “unrealistic” and “clearly imagined”.
This ruling came after a wealthy donor in the country wanted to donate $ 2.1 million to the white superiority group, which was rejected by the court.
While the court has not been allowed by the court, it is correct that there is a problem in killing farmers in South Africa.
These are brutal murders, and the total killing in South Africa is high, with 45 murders per 100,000 people, according to the data collected in 2023, but there is no indication that this killing depends on race.
Crime statistics in South Africa do not differentiate between the races of victims, and there is no specific category to kill the farm.
During the meeting of the Oval Office with Trump, Ramavusa said: “There is criminality in our country. The people who are unfortunately, through criminal activity, are not only eggs, but most of them are black.”

A spokesman for the South African Presidency, Vincent Magoina, told ABC News that “there is no evidence” that supports genocide and claimed that foreign intelligence of the United States would repeat this.
“There is no evidence of what is required here. The United States has a mechanism to collect very advanced intelligence. I can tell you now, if your intelligence community is ready to go out and speak, they will tell you that what is published here is completely incorrect,” said Maguenia.
The White House issued a statement after the meeting titled “President Trump is right in what is happening in South Africa”, which doubles the unimportant administration demands from the genocide that takes place in the country.
The statement contains a group of press scraps that they say defend their position that genocide is taking place in the country, pointing to articles from Fox News, Breitbart and BBC. Several scraps in the release indicate individual actions or threats of violence.
Amid Trump’s allegations and continuing to genocide, dozens of African refugees arrived in the United States last week after their requests were rapidly followed by an executive order issued by Trump in February, entitled “Treating the Luxurious Procedures of the Republic of South Africa”.
It is claimed that the South African government has passed a law allowing it to “seize agricultural property of the ethnic minority of Afrikan without compensation” in “shockingly ignoring the rights of its citizens.”
It shows that the United States will not help or assist the nation, and that the United States “will enhance the resettlement of African refugees.”
Trump was criticized for priority to Avrikanis while moving to restrict immigration from another place, including Afghanistan, Venezuela and Haiti.
