U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he had asked Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to “closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures” and the killing of farmers there.
“I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and large scale killing of farmers,” Trump said in a post on Twitter.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Aug. 1 that the ruling African National Congress (ANC) is forging ahead with plans to change the constitution to allow the expropriation of land without compensation, as whites still own most of South Africa’s land more than two decades after the end of apartheid....

Agreed. I heard it and was ashamed.
“I was just chatting with my friend in S.A. about an hour ago. She and her husband were set to visit me this week and next, and the US killed their tourist visa last week”
Interesting, just a couple weeks back another Freeper mentioned something similar. Although I believe it involved a Couple and the Couple’s single female friend. The US wouldn’t give the single friend a Visa. The thought was she had no permanent tangible ties to go back to SA and she would just stay and blend in like the hundred of thousands of others whom have over stayed their Visas in this country.
S.A. needs more diversity. /
Bring these people here. Give them refugee status. Also bring Christian Copts, Assyrian and other persecuted Islamist victims here.
People who come here fir a job aten’t refugees. These white South Africans and Christians are being persecuted for their race and religion and would become useful productive citizens here.
Good idea.
I faxed & called congressman Chris Smith's congressional office every day during that period and never once received a reply. They wrote those people off and blood is on all of their hands.
The State Department is primarily staffed with liberals, with a hell of a lot of Obama holdovers. Of all the federal departments, it is perhaps the worst, as it pushes the leftist agenda across the globe. I doubt Pompeo even saw that State Department release.
Paid for by whom?
I’m glad that none of this has anything to do with race. At least the Boers still have the constitution or something.
Mitch McConnell as a freshman senator in 1985 was among those pushing the Reagan administration to change South African policy. McC may have not have then suspected that such a policy change would in time lead to these horrors. And he’s still there to see all of this. People in KY need to nominate someone else in 2020.
Apparently all that Chris Smith has ever been good about is anti-abortion policy, and the abortions continue ad infinitum. Isn’t he otherwise firmly in the “moderate” camp?
That’s a great summation of Smith. Yes, good on abortion but full RINO on everything else.
Wow! Maybe this is how we can save American farm lands from becoming housing developments!!!
“Foreclosed farms and ranches”
If I were a South African white person, I’d get the hell out and let them starve. The whites of SA don’t owe that band of cut throats and murderers anything. Let the ANC take the land and hand it out to their supporters. Within 5 years there will be almost nothing growing and all the farm equipment will be rusting away right where they ran out of gas or broke down.
No study needed. All one has to do is to look back at Rhodesia and the results occurred after the Honky farmers were kicked out
Middle-eastern Christians are often wildly antisemitic - I know this because I lived near a Syrian neighborhood a while ago. What jerks they were!
South African whites are trying to get into Australia. I wouldn’t mind taking some of them in. I have South African facebook friends who are documenting the horror.
I remember that like it was yesterday. It’s one of the main reasons I despise the Clinton aholes. It was another time when the feckless Republicans didn’t do their job.
If I were a South African black person, I’d get the hell out, too. This will not end well.
