Well, if you look at South Africa's response to Donald Trump saying that, nobody has agreed with him. Land has not been stolen from anybody in South Africa since 1994. A lot of land has been bought at market prices and redistributed, but not stolen.

As for where these ideas come from, there have been South African organizations that have lobbied Trump very, very vocally, very persistently for a number of years. on matters of land redistribution, but also on matters of crime, of the extent to which people who live in rural South Africa are vulnerable. And many white farmers have been victims of very violent crime.

And Trump has heard about all of that from a very vocal, very articulate lobby that says that violent crime against farmers is not coincidental, that it's organized, that there's something behind it. It's an attempt to push them off the land. He has been told that by pretty extreme forces in South African society, not mainstream ones.

So farmers generally live in remote areas. They're far from rapid response. They're far from police. There are a lot of guns in South Africa. There's a lot of unemployed young men in South Africa. A lot of people making a living from crime. You know, people enter a remote property and hold up the people at gun points to take their possessions, sometimes kill them.

Sometimes there's a terrible level of brutality in South African predatory crime.

Levels of violence in South Africa are extreme. In a country of 62, 63 million people, there are 20,000 murders a year. That is breathtaking. It's a violent place. And it's absolutely understandable and natural that the white farming community would feel under siege, would feel vulnerable, would feel scared.

But it's another thing to say that there's an organized plot against them, that this is a manifestation of a deeper attempt to throw them off their land. You know, if you look at who is killed in South Africa, if you look at per capita murder rates, those most vulnerable to being killed are unemployed young black men.
