Overview
Hundreds of white South Africans protested outside the U.S. Embassy, claiming victimization by their government due to land expropriation laws. Many were Afrikaners, responding to Trump's recent executive order addressing their concerns about racism and land rights. The South African government disputes Trump's claims, asserting that the land law addresses longstanding inequalities without racial bias. President Ramaphosa emphasized the nation's commitment to preventing forced land removals, a painful legacy of apartheid. Discussions around race and land ownership continue to fuel tensions, as demonstrators express frustration with affirmative action policies aimed at redressing historical injustices.
