Donald Trump’s ‘white genocide’ in South Africa claims fact-checked | BBC News


Donald Trump confronted South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa during a tense exchange in the White House on Wednesday, with a series of contested claims about the killings of white farmers in the country.

The US president asked his staff to play a video mostly showing South African opposition politician Julius Malema chanting a song calling for violence against white farmers.

The video also included footage showing rows of crosses, which he claimed was a burial site for murdered white farmers, and presented Ramaphosa with copies of articles which he said documented widespread brutality against South Africa’s white minority.

BBC correspondent Pumza Fihlani went to the area where Trump said was proof of this genocide, and fact-checked his claims.
