        There's smoke without fire... and that smoke is of an oncoming goods train. We want our land back. The 1913 Natives Land Act passed by the apartheid regime dispossessed our forefathers of their land. Afrikaaners were behind that unjust practice but not condemned at all.

        Maybe Donald Trump is somewhat confused. Let me clear it out. South Africa is not a continent but a sovereign country. We follow the rule of law, and if the majority of our people are in favour of the constitutional amendment of section 25, so be it. #Expropriationofland

        bc in the West we respect private property and know history, just look north to Zimbabwe at what a horrible/genocidal policy 'land reform' is. Stop killing white farmers.

        No white farmer has been killed here in SA, unless if we are talking of a different country. What happened in Zimbabwe was not land expropriation but land invasions of white owned farms. Crime in SA affect us all. You talk of genocide like you've seen one unfold in our corridors

        Black lives doesn't matter according to YOU. Your white farmers compatriots are the worst racist bigots who continue to treat black farm workers with disdain. You seriously don't wanna touch us in our studios.

        the truth starts to come out, you're animated by racism and want to go after the farmers bc they are white. We're watching, no more farm murders. If these murders break through the US Media, the President will not ignore...

        You are not serious. Don't read too much into propaganda and fake news being circulated without ounce of truth. Crime doesn't affect white farmers in SA. Trump must learn to think before he tweet.

        How they allow Trump to run Presidency from his twitter account, is what got us to this mess.

        He is an idiot, we are on the ground in South Africa 🇿🇦 living side by side with our white counterparts who own almost 80% of the land , while the majority blacks own less than 10% ..... all we want is to share the land they are not using

        I say fuck Donald Racist Trump. The majority live in poor conditions and are inferior to the minority which is why Act 108 must be amended.
