Donald Trump confronted South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa during a tense exchange in the White House on Wednesday, with a series of contested claims about the killings of white farmers in the country.
The US president asked his staff to play a video mostly showing South African opposition politician Julius Malema chanting a song calling for violence against white farmers.
The video also included footage showing rows of crosses, which he claimed was a burial site for murdered white farmers, and presented Ramaphosa with copies of articles which he said documented widespread brutality against South Africa's white minority.
BBC correspondent Pumza Fihlani went to the area where Trump said was proof of this genocide, and fact-checked his claims.

Is there really a “white genocide” in South Africa? In 2025, the United States granted asylum to a group of white Afrikaner South Africans amidst claims of racial violence and state-backed persecution. Then, just a few weeks later, President Donald Trump "ambushed the South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, as he visited the White House, playing a video of anti-white songs and showing purported pictures of atrocities against white farmers. Amplified by Elon Musk, these allegations have sparked international debate—but do they hold any truth?
This video examines South Africa’s complex history of apartheid, land dispossession, and the efforts made to correct these injustices since 1994. While land redistribution remains controversial and slow-moving, there is no evidence of systematic, state-sanctioned violence against white South Africans. Instead, statistics reveal that most violence occurs in urban areas and affects Black citizens. So why has this narrative taken hold in some circles? And what does it say about U.S. domestic politics and international diplomacy? Featuring the latest census data, legal insights, and political context, this video explores the origins and legal definition of genocide, examines South Africa’s post-apartheid history, and unpacks why some have used this highly charged term to describe land reform and rural violence affecting Afrikaners. Are white farmers truly being targeted—or is this a politically motivated myth? This video offers a clear, evidence-based answer to one of today’s most provocative international claims.

In February 2025, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order offering prioritised refugee status to Afrikaner farmers hoping to escape what he described as a “genocide” in South Africa.

With America’s 2026 refugee intake capped at just 7,500 people, President Trump’s move to prioritise resettlement of white South African farmers reignited global controversy when he referenced widely disputed claims of forced appropriation of land and a “genocide” against white farmers - claims amplified online by South Africa’s richest man, Elon Musk.
#BBCAfricaEye reporter Claire Mawisa travels to South Africa’s Free State to uncover the truth behind these claims. She meets farmers fearing for their lives after brutal attacks, and others who insist the “white genocide” narrative distorts a far more complex story of crime, inequality, and fear that spreads across races and classes.
As tensions rise between Washington and Pretoria, this film investigates how fear, crime and online narratives have collided to create one of the most politically charged asylum routes in the world - and what it means for those determined to go, and those who remain.
