@Sentletse The only benefit is access for areas that currently do not have any coverage.
Won't make any difference to people living in cities.

@RogerKint69 @4LloydChristmas @piersmorgan Or just waving a flag.
The old afrikaner flag is officially declared hate speech.
This is fine though.

Oh come off it, Mr President - it’s literally a threat, and incitement, to kill.

South African President Ramaphosa on "k*ll the boer" and "k*ll the farmer" chants: "It's not meant to be a message that elicits or calls upon anyone to be k*lled. Freedom of expression is a bedrock."

I have come to the perhaps obvious conclusion that accelerating GDP growth is essential.
@DOGE has and will do great work to postpone the day of bankruptcy of America, but the profligacy of government means that only radical improvements in productivity can save our country.

@farzyness I wonder if this why Elon has somewhat moved away from politics in order to accelerate GDP growth with humanoid robots. If he believes this is the only solution then this would be his most logical choice.

@steve_hofmeyr @simonateba It represents a death.
That's the point.
But the media absolutely has to make sure it's not recognized.

@simonateba How does the typo cause a meltdown but not the 2500 dead farmers? What the fuck is wrong with you!!!! Memorial site, burial site, who cares about semantics?

BREAKING: The white crosses Donald Trump showed during a tense Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa were not a burial site, as he claimed, but a temporary roadside memorial, says Rob Hoatson, the farmer who organized the display.
Trump falsely claimed the 2,500 white crosses were “burial sites” for murdered white farmers.
The memorial was set up by farmer Rob Hoatson in KwaZulu-Natal to honor Glen and Vida Rafferty, murdered on their farm in 2020.
Hoatson clarified the crosses were temporary and not tied to mass graves.
Trump used the video to argue white farmers are being systematically targeted — a claim Ramaphosa rejected, saying most crime victims in South Africa are Black.
South Africa does not release race-based crime stats, but in late 2024, 12 people were killed in farm attacks — only one was a farmer.

@BBCWorld Those are not. But the memorial is real and the crosses represent people who has been murdered.
Good to see the media doing what the media does.

@IanCameron23 So shall we ignore it until the full 10 stage definition has been met so everyone can say what a shame.
If only we did something to stop it while we still could.

There may be some that may not like me saying this, but I stand for the truth. There is no white genocide in South Africa but farm attacks and murders are real, unique, and demand specialised action.
Let’s set the record straight: there is no white genocide in South Africa. That claim is factually incorrect and distracts from the very real crisis that does exist — the ongoing, targeted, and uniquely brutal attacks on our country’s farming communities.
The facts speak for themselves: farm attacks affect people of all races, white, black, coloured, and indian. What makes these attacks different is not the race of the victims. It’s the nature of the disproportionate violence (sometimes torture), the location (isolation), certain political rhetoric, celebration by some on social media and the economic implications that make them a national priority.
Farm attacks are uniquely savage. Victims are often tortured for hours. Some are tied up and beaten, raped and even tortured to death. Some attacks can carry on for hours. In some cases even children have been murdered. In some cases, very little of significance is stolen — but something far worse is taken: safety, dignity, and life.
These aren’t random crimes. They are calculated, often executed by organised syndicates who take advantage of the remote and isolated nature of farms. Help is far away. Law enforcement is stretched thin. The result? Criminals act with impunity — and communities are left traumatised and vulnerable.
This is why the Democratic Alliance (DA) has fought for years to place rural safety at the top of South Africa’s national agenda. And finally, this week, Parliament has formally acknowledged the truth — farm attacks are real, and they must be addressed with urgency.
Two parliamentary portfolio committees, Police and Agriculture have adopted a report that includes several DA-led recommendations:
-A Specialised Rural Safety Unit in SAPS;
-Stronger crime intelligence focused on rural syndicates and cross-border networks;
-Prosecution-led investigations to increase conviction rates;
-Better collaboration between police and community safety structures like farm watches;
-And, crucially, formal recognition of the uniquely brutal nature of farm murders.
This is not about creating a hierarchy of victims. Every South African life is equally valuable. But to respond effectively to crime, we must understand its context, and farm attacks do have specific, repeated features that set them apart.
These attacks strike at the heart of South Africa’s food security, job creation, and rural economy. When a farmer or farmworker is murdered, the impact is felt across the entire agricultural value chain, and across every dinner table in the country.
The DA remains fully committed to justice, safety, and dignity for all who work the land. We call on the Minister of Police to act now. Rural communities can’t wait any longer. What they need is not only sympathy, they need protection, prosecutions, and political will.

Everything said in the Trump-Ramaphosa meeting summed up.
Trump: "Blacks are killing Whites at a genocidal rate in South Africa."
Ramaphosa:"Blacks are also killing other blacks, so it's fine. Please give us money Mr Trump?"
Steenhuisen: "Everything is fine, we are in league with the ANC to keep the radicals out."
Rupert: "I am the biggest target of the radicals. Google me. I donated drones for anti-poaching."
Ramaphosa: "Yes, we need drones. Please give us money?"
Goosen: "They attacked my mother on the farm, and some of my dad's friends were killed in farm attacks."
Losi: "When companies shut down people working there tend to lose their jobs."
Ramaphosa: "Please give us some money."

South African President Ramaphosa is in Washington, DC, seeking a reset after President Trump repeatedly and rightly criticized South Africa for human rights violations and activities that undermine our national security. Ramaphosa is pivoting toward China and taking an aggressive position attacking Israel at the International Court of Justice, where he is pushing for precedents and policies that will not just undermine Israel but also expose American officials to vulnerabilities.
I have every confidence that President Trump will demand South African officials change their policies, and will hold them accountable if they don’t.
Watch my discussion today with Sec. Rubio on the topic at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
