Some white South Africans have showed support for President Donald Trump and gathered at the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria to claim they are victims of racism by their own government.

South Africa appears to be at a crossroads in its waxing and waning relationship with the US following President Donald Trump's controversial decision last week to cut financial aid to the country.Trump said South Africa was pursuing what he called "unjust and immoral practices" against the white minority Afrikaner community and by filing a genocide case against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in December 2023.

Trump and his allies have targeted South Africa, promoting the false narrative that white people are being mistreated by the nation’s post-apartheid government.

U.S. President Donald Trump has followed through on his promise to punish South Africa by signing an executive order stopping all aid and assistance to the country over what he called a human rights violation against a white minority group.

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday aimed at freezing assistance to South Africa over a controversial law which allows the government to seize farmland from ethnic minorities - namely White farmers - without compensation,

U.S. President Donald Trump's attacks on what he alleges is South Africa's mistreatment of its white minority are being met with mockery on social media by some white South Africans poking fun at their own privilege.

Another area identified by Mr Trump is property rights. In a move that America’s president seems to have conflated with actual land seizures, on January 23rd Cyril Ramaphosa, his South African counterpart, signed the Expropriation Act, which gives the state new powers to expropriate property in the “public interest”.

The so-called land question has been a decades-long dilemma for South Africa. A new law seeks to right some of the wrongs of apartheid but has prompted claims from critics that it discriminates against White farmers.

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

Hundreds of white South Africans gathered at the US embassy in Pretoria on Saturday to support Donald Trump, and protest at what they claim is racism by their own government.

About a thousand people gather outside the US embassy in Pretoria to show support for President Donald Trump after he hit out at the "injust" treatment of white South Africans.
