Trump avoids South Africa after white farmers 'genocide' controversy? SA blasts US amid G20 tantrums

South African Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has forcefully rejected US President Donald Trump’s claims of “genocide” against white Afrikaners, calling the accusations “false and dangerous.” Godongwana addressed parliament in Cape Town, highlighting that South Africa is facing misleading charges and punitive threats based on fiction, especially ahead of the upcoming G20 summit. The minister praised a group of Afrikaners who publicly denied Trump’s narrative, describing their stance as patriotic and vital for national unity. Trump had earlier declared the G20 in South Africa a “total disgrace” and accused the government of orchestrating killings and confiscation of Afrikaner farms, which South African leaders and researchers have debunked as a myth driven by misinformation and fringe groups.
