South African Court Dismisses ‘White Genocide’ Claims

today26 February, 2025

Background

A South African court has ruled that claims of a white genocide in the country are “clearly imagined” and “not real,” contradicting statements by US President Donald Trump and his adviser Elon Musk. BBCAfrica says the court also blocked a $2.1 million donation from Grantland Michael Bray to the white supremacist group Boerelegioen, deeming it invalid and against public policy. Trump and Musk have previously made controversial remarks about racial issues in South Africa, including claims of farmer killings and discriminatory laws.
