The so-called land question has been a decades-long dilemma for South Africa. A new law seeks to right some of the wrongs of apartheid but has prompted claims from critics that it discriminates against White farmers.

Trump and his allies have targeted South Africa, promoting the false narrative that white people are being mistreated by the nation’s post-apartheid government.

U.S. President Donald Trump claims South Africa mistreats its white minority, citing a land reform bill by President Cyril Ramaphosa. Trump's remarks, echoed by Elon Musk, trigger mockery from white South Africans spotlighting their privilege.
