Trump CUTS OFF Aid To Anti-White South Africa—Offers Deal To Violently Persecuted Farmers: “They will tie people up and drag them behind a truck until they die” [VIDEO]

Trump, Musk Respond to South Africa; Blast Racial Discrimination

South Africa’s News24.com reported:

The ANC says it will maintain its ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran, regardless of any sanctions imposed by the US.

The party, which has historic ties with Iran, would not hide its friends, ANC first deputy secretary-general Nomvula Mokonyane told News24 on Wednesday.

This after meeting with Iranian Ambassador to South Africa Mansour Shakib Mehr at Luthuli House [ruling party headquarters] on Tuesday.

Earlier this week, the South African parliament debated Trump’s recent decision to cut off aid to South Africa. Health minister Aaron Motsoaledi actually defended Trump, and said that South Africa should become more self-sufficient: “Trump doesn’t owe South Africa a single cent whatsover, and for that reason, we need to stand on our own.”

But others, including Julius Malema of the extremist opposition party called the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), slammed Trump:

Meanwhile, the South African Police Services (SAPS) opened an investigation into treason charges against two organizations that represent Afrikaners and farmers, merely for raising awareness about their views in the U.S.

Musk was commenting on a video of an interview by Dave Rubin with South African investor and commentator Rob Hersov, who noted, correctly, that post-apartheid South Africa has scores of racially discriminatory laws.

South Africa also has cultivated ties with Iran, China, Russia, and Palestinian terrorist organizations.

Many South Africans are concerned about the country’s declining relations with the U.S., which could affect its trade and frustrate economic growth. The South African economy grew by a paltry 0.6% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

It remains to be seen whether the South African government continues to provoke Trump, or finds a way to compromise.
