“It is not happening. Donald Trump was fed this information, this link [between] farm murders, genocide [in South Africa]. There is no such a thing,” says Max du Preez, a prominent Afrikaner journalist and former newspaper editor. “I've never been discriminated against,” he adds. Claims of violence against White farmers in South Africa emerged in 2018 when then–Fox News host Tucker Carlson alleged that Afrikaner farmers were being killed and having their land seized. Afrikaners are a minority that once led South Africa's brutal, four-decade apartheid government. That rule ended in 1994 when Nelson Mandela was elected president. #southafrica #uspolitics #afrikaans #nelsonmandela #trump
