An historic video of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa launching an attack on Donald Trump has resurfaced, after the U.S. president said he will cut all funding to South Africa.

South Africa relationship needs a rethink. But the Trump administration’s approach is only making a bad situation worse.

President Donald Trump wrote Sunday that he was “cutting off all future funding to South Africa” in protest of its current land reform. “South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY,” the president wrote on TruthSocial, adding: “A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see.”

O ne of the first things Donald Trump did on retaking office was to halt America’s programme to settle refugees. That is bad news for Africans who might want to flee war or oppression. But the White House is making an exception for a group of white Africans: the roughly 2.

Though the name of Donald Trump went unmentioned, everyone knew who Ramaphosa was talking about. A few days earlier, the US president had written on his Truth Social platform that South Africa was “confiscating land and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY”.
