US President Donald Trump announced the suspension of all financial assistance to South Africa, accusing the country’s authorities of the seizure of lands and gross violations of human rights.
In his message on the social network, Truth Social Trump emphasized that the situation in South Africa is deteriorating, however, the “radical left -wing media” ignore this topic.
He accused the country’s power of the seizure of lands and stated that serious violations of human rights are committed in relation to certain groups of the population.
According to him, the United States will not endure this and take appropriate measures.
The head of the White House announced the suspension of all future financial trenches of South Africa until the complete investigation is completed.
Land reform in South Africa
Since colonial times, about 75% of arable land in South Africa belong to a white minority, which makes up only 9% of the country’s population.
After the apartheid, the problem of redistribution of the Earth was never resolved. The authorities of South Africa developed a plan for the seizure of part of the land from white farmers without compensation in order to transfer them to the black population.
In January, SIRSEAR President Siril Ramapos signed a law that allows the state to remove certain land plots.
