Trump showed Ramaphosa a photo from Congo as proof of ‘White genocide’ in South Africa: Report
- On May 21, 2024, during a meeting at the White House, President Donald Trump presented an image to Cyril Ramaphosa, the leader of South Africa, asserting that it showed burial sites of white farmers in the country.
- Trump’s claim relied on a screenshot from a Reuters video filmed in Goma, Congo, showing humanitarian workers with body bags, not South African burial sites, as confirmed by Reuters fact-checkers.
- The protest image Trump showed originated from a September 2020 funeral procession near Newcastle, South Africa, where white crosses symbolized victims of farm attacks but did not mark actual graves.
- Trump claimed that every white object visible in the footage was a cross, estimating that around one thousand crosses symbolized white farmers buried there; however, South African officials dismissed this narrative as an unfounded "genocide story."
- Following the meeting, Ramaphosa sought to correct misinformation and rebuild US-South Africa relations, strained by Trump’s executive order cutting aid amid disputed claims of racial violence and land seizures.
