South Africa's land law: righting apartheid, or persecuting white farmers?
Trump froze aid to South Africa and offered refuge to white Afrikaners, citing a land-expropriation law and 'genocide' claims. Pretoria says no land has been seized and no genocide is happening.
The summary above is a neutral framing. Below, each side reports the same story in its own words — judge for yourself.
Washington says South Africa's Expropriation Act enables racial discrimination against white farmers — freezing aid and fast-tracking Afrikaner 'refugees.'
Pretoria says not a single farm has been confiscated, the law is a lawful tool to address apartheid-era inequality, and the 'genocide' claim is false.
