The reaction from the South African government was prompt: they denounced Trumps claim with regard to the large scale killing of farmers in South Africa, which by the way is completely true. The ANC, South Africas ruling party, is currently working on legislation which would allow the government to legally steal white-owned land via a Constitutional amendment or modification or whatever. The land would be further distributed to South Africas black citizens, or at least thats the theory, because muh Apartheid and muh reasons. See, only white folk can be racist.
White South Africans, also known as Afrikaners, are under 10 percent of the countrys population, and they own approximately 73% of South Africas agricultural land. Most land in South Africa is owned by the government, by a long shot, but since the climate is incredibly harsh, the vast majority of land is unusable for agricultural purposes, as it requires investment, irrigation, hard work, knowledge, and so on and so forth. White farmers own those lands since the 1700s.

“White South Africans, also known as Afrikaners,”
Incorrect.
Afrikaans speaking white South Africans are known as Afrikaners.
Many of us are English speaking. And, no, most of us don’t have dual citizenship and we can’t just go somewhere else (just anticipating the usual response).
Wielder of the shimmering shiv of shibboleth smashing.
THe ANC is jacked about this, why? It da truf.
