Donald Trump has announced that South Africa will “confiscate” the land and “handle people in specific classes very badly”, and to cut the future funding for the survey.
The US President’s intervention in one of South Africa’s most divisional issues was argued by the government and criticized by a group of political spectrums.
South African land ownership remains very unequal, and since the first multi -ethnic election in 1994, the government has struggled to deal with the government.
The efforts to correct this inequality have gained criticisms from conservatives worldwide, including the millionaires born in South Africa and the Trump Allies Eron Mask. In response to his social media platform X, responding to the defense of the country’s policy by Silil Ramafosa, President of South Africa.
A mask, which leads Trump’s efforts to reduce the federal government, says he is working to close the USAID of foreign aid. On the weekend, the Trump administration eliminated two security authorities from the USAID, which tried to stop the government’s representatives from gaining access to the building.
Ramafosa signed a bill last month to provide “NIL compensation” in a specific situation of the land that the South African government exposes for public interests. This is included in the case of “fair and fair” if the compensation is not provided, or when the land is purely abandoned or retained for speculation.
“South Africa has confiscated land and handles people in a specific class very terribly,” Trump wrote on his true social platform on Sunday. “Until a complete survey of this situation is completed, I will block all funds to South Africa!”
In response, Ramafosa stated that the law was not exceptional, and that the only US support received by South Africa was 17 % of the HIV/AIDS program.
“The recently adopted exposement method is not a confiscation means, but a legal procedure that is obliged in the constitution to guarantee public access to land in a fair and fair way led by the Constitution,” Ramafosa is X. I mentioned in the post. The United States and other countries always have a compilation method that balances the need for public use of the land and the protection of property owners’ rights. “
The US Federal Government can take over private property if “compensation only” is provided.
The African National Council of Ramafosa claims that the government is not intended to be ARBITRARY, as the government must first seek agreement with the owner.
However, some groups have warned that after their independence in 1980, they often have no compensation, which could lead to a situation like seizure of white -owned commercial farms by the Zimbabwe.
The problem divides the South African Allied government, and the parent business alliance led by whites has begun a formal dispute. The Incasa Freep Dam Party, which is dominated by Zuru, raised concerns that the Zouru monarchy could damage the widespread land ownership.
Later, in the media briefing, Trump said, “Leadership is doing terrible and terrible things in South Africa, without providing an example.
“That’s right now, we’re under investigation. We make a decision, and until we know what South Africa is doing, they are robbing land and confiscating land. In fact, they are probably it. He’s doing something worse, “he said.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in South Africa stated in a statement that “President Trump’s advisor will fully understand South Africa’s policies in the constitutional democracy framework in the constitutional democracy.” Ta.
Thousands of black families were forcibly excluded by the Apartheid administration under the Land Land Law in 1913. Since the end of Apartheid, the court has returned land to previously evacuated owners and ruled a few long land disputes.
The government also purchased and redistributed 7.8m hectares (19m acras) farmland. The goal was that 30 % of the white farm moved from 1998 to 2030.
According to Johann Kirsten and Wandile Sihlobo, the economists of Stellenbosch University, black farmers have also purchased 1.8m hectares. However, 78 % of private farms remain white, but many black farmers are struggling because they lack financial and technical support.
Rights were born in Pretoria in 1971, but used the murder of white South African peasants, including the right -wing journalist Katie Hopkins and Musk, who left the country in the late teens, as a rally.
Trump is surrounded by a powerful Silicon Valley, who has become older in Apartheit South Africa, such as his artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency Emperor, co -founded with PayPal and masks.
Another PayPal co -founder, who introduced Peter Tiel -Trump to Vice President JD Vance, lived in South Africa, including Namibia, which was dominated by South Africa. He has previously been accused of supporting the apartheid that spokeman has replied on behalf of him.
