Radical Marxist politician Julius Malema shot again, calling Trump “delusional” and a “tariff-wielding barbarian,” saying that he “can be fortunate to nonetheless be President of the USA by the point the G20 Summit happens in South Africa.”
“How may we be anticipated to go to South Africa for the crucial G20 Assembly when Land Confiscation and Genocide is the first subject of dialog? They’re taking the land of white Farmers, after which killing them and their households,” Trump requested.
“The Media refuses to report on this. America has held again all contributions to South Africa. Is that this the place we need to be for the G20? I don’t suppose so!”, Trump posted on Fact Social on April 12 together with a video of radical Marxist opposition politician Julius Malema threatening in parliament to “occupy land,” demanding “killing,” and singing the track “Kill the Boer!” in entrance of 90,000 supporters in Johannesburg, and at a number of different events.
The South African authorities not too long ago enacted the Expropriation Act 13 of 2024, to allow the federal government to grab ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property with out compensation.
On Friday, April 10, South African Deputy President Paul Mashatile confirmed that “the federal government is dedicated to … expropriation with out compensation.”
Julius Malema’s Economic Freedom Fighters occasion shot again at Trump, stating:
“In his common delusional method, Trump cites land confiscations and genocide in South Africa as his purpose and attaches to his ridiculous declare a video of the Commander in Chief and President of the EFF Julius Malema debating the land query within the Parliament of South Africa.
In a transparent indication of a person who has misplaced all sense and contact with actuality, Donald Trump has determined to return to his disinformation marketing campaign towards South Africa, to distract the general public from the mess he has created globally along with his uneducated reciprocal tariff system.
The EFF takes critical exception to Donald Trump’s connection of his false claims of land confiscations and a genocide towards white South African households with the President of the EFF, particularly since we all know that Donald Trump governs by means of social media.
Because the EFF, we want to inform the “tariff wielding barbarian” that he can be fortunate to nonetheless be President of the USA by the point the G20 Summit happens in South Africa, following his recklessness and financial illiteracy which has plunged the US-economy right into a recession and launched them right into a commerce warfare with China and Europe.
The G20 summit in South Africa needs to be the least of Donald Trump’s issues, and he ought to give attention to the allegations towards him of manipulating the US inventory market by imposing tariffs on quite a few nations the world over after which giving buying and selling recommendation to his billionaire buddies earlier than pausing the tariffs for 90-days.
Trump basically used the US economic system as a way to follow insider buying and selling and defraud the American folks of billions of their life financial savings and pensions. He himself has dedicated an financial genocide on the peculiar American folks and the US economic system.
Because the EFF we condemn Donald Trump for the havoc he has brought about to the worldwide economic system and think about his utterances towards South Africa as a part of a premeditated technique to impose sanctions on our nation and our political management.
It’s the technique of imperialism to border a nation it intends to invade and disrupt politically and economically as a nation that’s violating human rights, earlier than making an intervention that disrupts that nations’ prosperity for many years to come back.
We have now seen this technique in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Cuba, Venezuela and lots of different nations. Immediately, as a result of South Africa and the President of the EFF has appropriately condemned the USA’s position in funding the genocide of Palestinian folks by Apartheid Israel, Trump has turned his consideration to South Africa.
It’s no coincidence that he makes use of the photographs of the President of the EFF to make his claims, as a result of the President of the EFF is on the forefront of demanding the return of the land to the African majority and he has pursued this utilizing constitutional means.”
Kallie Kriel, head of Afrikaner civil rights group Afriforum, acknowledged:
“This video and textual content posted on social media by President Trump is probably going one other results of the South African Constitutional Courtroom’s legalisation of the “Kill the Boer” chant, which is a name for Afrikaners and farmers to be murdered, in addition to the ANC-led authorities’s refusal to sentence this gross violation of the human rights of Afrikaners and farmers.
President Ramaphosa’s signing of the Expropriation Act, which legalises the violation of property rights, has solely added gasoline to the fireplace. The BELA Act additionally infringes upon the human rights of Afrikaners and different Afrikaans audio system, as its assault on Afrikaans colleges threatens our cultural survival. A change in path is urgently wanted in South Africa, in direction of a society that respects everybody’s human rights, together with these of Afrikaners, farmers, and Afrikaans audio system.”
