Trump-Ramaphosa: Wrong Accusations

Trump-Ramaphosa: Wrong Accusations

On May 21st,2025 Donald J. ambushed South African President Cyril Ramaphosa claiming there was genocide against white farmers in his country for which reason the USA has given recently 50 white SA farmers refuge in the United States with another potential 5000 arriving later the year. He showed a video and printed out materials. Cyril Ramaphosa tried to argue no white farmer gets taken their land away by force or free while only in rare cases this will be done and white farmers get compensation for their farms in such cases often over market value. President Ramaphosa stressed out his country has a serious crime problem due to the lack of jobs making his people hopeless and taken to violence. Everyone in the Oval Office from SA agreed with the president so the representative from the Democratic Alliance in a coalition government with the ANC once fearce opponents. Both government representatives asked for drones and other forms of surveillance to end the high crime rate in South Africa and to bring more jobs to the country.

President Ramaphosa when mentioned by Donald that Mr. Malema, leader of the SA EFF Economic Freedom Fighters called in the video showing whites should be killed said Mr. Malema is not a government official but the leader of a majority group in parliament and that South Africa is a multi-party democracy therefore everyone is free to express his ideas. In Germany § 130 (1) of the Criminal Law book states that anyone calling for violence and committing offenses of incitement to hatred in speeches against any race, religious, or cultural group or groups can be sentenced between three and five months into jail or fined. § 130 (2) extends this to written and circled publications for up to three-year imprisonment or fine. The video clip shown shows the evidence that Mr. Malema once fell out from the ANC and a convicted man having avoided paying taxes in the past uses the term „killing whites“ whether the rhetoric of the past or present not labeling it as a quotation used from a certain person in a manner he wants his followers to kill whites. In Germany, the immunity of such a Parliamentarian would be lifted and he would potentially serve a substantial time in jail. If Donald would have gone down this path he would have been more credible in his argument and seriously put Cyril Ramaphosa into the corner. Instead, Cyril Ramaphosa kept his composure knowing the smoke in the room would subside when the golfer friends highly praised by eventually speak for South Africa.

In 2022 President Cyril Ramaphosa reported intruders entering his Bufallo farm to the police. The police investigations found the intruders and learned they stole $ 4 Mio. from the farm of which $ 500.000 was discovered by the thieves hidden in a sofa. Cyril Ramaphosa had not reported any money stolen from his farm. After the confrontation, Cyril Ramaphosa argued this was the profit from selling buffalos while the people who unveiled the buffalos claimed to be sold were still grazing on the farm. The opposition in Parliament called for the impeachment of Cyril Ramaphosa but the ANC majority saved their president for him to continue staying in office. The following election forced Cyril Ramaphosa into a coalition government with the DA Democratic Alliance a party mostly of white people that did not start the process to investigate corruption charges against the ANC.

Donald J. would have cornered Cyril Ramaphosa by simply asking: „Mr. President, please explain us to the world. After 35 years of ending apartheid, you come here and ask for investment and assistance for drones. South Africa is such a beautiful country and blessed so much with beautiful minerals. Now, Mr. President, Germany has no mineral resources but it took them only 15 years to recover from World War two and create a Wirschaftswunder. Or look into Singapore, South Korea, and other beautiful countries with no mineral resources, troubled by the past...what they have achieved. Their economies are booming and the criminal rate in these countries is low, low, low, and low. So, how do you explain this to the world?“

Knock out! Game over. Golf tournament won by Donald J. .
