🇺🇸🇿🇦 Senator Ted Cruz on X: South African President Ramaphosa is in Washington, DC, seeking a reset after President Trump repeatedly and rightly criticized South Africa for human rights violations and activities that undermine our national security.

Ramaphosa is pivoting toward China and taking an aggressive position attacking Israel at the International Court of Justice, where he is pushing for precedents and policies that will not just undermine Israel but also expose American officials to vulnerabilities.

I have every confidence that President Trump will demand South African officials change their policies, and will hold them accountable if they don’t.

🇺🇸🇿🇦 Trump plans to press South African leader on ‘genocidal rhetoric’

President Donald Trump plans to press the president of South Africa on Wednesday over the country’s treatment of its White ethnic minority, said a White House official, potentially escalating tension between the governments during a meeting expected to focus on trade.

On Wednesday, he is likely to ask that South Africa exempt American companies from laws intended to boost diversity and “loudly condemn politicians who promote genocidal rhetoric,” the official said in a statement, speaking on the condition of anonymity to freely to discuss Trump’s agenda.

🇿🇦 March 2025: The South African Presidency dismissed a call to condemn the genocidal chant "Kill the Boer! Kill the farmer!"

📝🔶 Joost Strydom on X: "I'm utterly surprised CNN posted a positive article on Orania!"

Joost Strydom leads the group of White South Africans who have dismissed the US’ offer of asylum, and heads Orania, a separatist “Afrikaner-only” settlement in the country’s Northern Cape.

“Help us here,” he said his message was to Trump, whom he hopes will recognize Orania’s quest for self-determination.

Strydom was part of Orania’s delegation to the US in late March to push for this goal.

“We met with government officials,” he said. “The conversation is ongoing, and it is something that we’ve decided to keep a low profile on.”

Orania is backed by a 1994 post-apartheid accord that allowed for Afrikaner self-determination, including the concept of an Afrikaner state, referred to as Volkstaat.Strydom anticipates that the settlement could develop into a “national home for the Afrikaner people.”

🇿🇦🇺🇸 Ernst Roets on X: "Ramaphosa started the meeting with Trump by asking for money. He then sat through the entire Kill the Boer video and responded by asking for money once again. At his presser thereafter he explained that he went there to ask for money, and he did, so the meeting was good."
