White supremacist ideology and false claims that South Africa’s Afrikaner minority is being racially persecuted pose a threat to the country’s sovereignty and national security, the country’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has warned.

    Seizing land from white farmers in a continent where said white people are not indigenous is such a white thing to say.

    Power to the South African government! 👊

      *undeveloped land.

      They’re not having their homes taken as far as I’m aware just land good for farming and industry that is just being sat on by wealthy families.
