And why is that relevant in the South African space? Trump's been obsessed with South Africa even before he was actually president. He would post on social media about the rights of Africana farmers.

He would lift up all these discredited myths and narratives about the oppression of that minority in the country in ways that were shocking for anyone, black or white, that had been involved or even at the margins of of the anti-apartheid movement and that era where we understood clearly there is a white minority that was oppressing a black majority in South Africa.

Not the story that Trump told before or during his first presidency or in this new period. And right now, even though white South Africans make up about 7% of the total population, They control over 70% of the private land that's available in the country for farming, for business development, etc. It's an astonishing ratio.

The government has been trying to solve for that challenge when you have a population overwhelmingly black, poor population. that has experienced a political revolution and transformation in the country, but not an economic transformation. So they get Blacks more into the center of the economy to try to solve for that disparity and that land challenge.

They did so by moving a piece of legislation, not without controversy in South Africa, around the reappropriation of land that is not being used.

So I want to be clear, this is not land that white farmers are sitting on top of, but land that's not being used and the appropriation of that land would have to go through all kinds of bureaucratic procedures in order for the government to be able to secure it for new purposes. Donald Trump and Elon Musk, who, of course, is a South African expat.

Peter Thiel, another South African expat that's in that circle, obsessed.

David Sachs, another one. There are a number of men who kind of lift up this false story about the oppression of white people in South Africa, because I believe for Trump. It actually speaks to a domestic French political audience that has its own obsessions around a grievance politics that's tied to supremacy movements and replacement theory. So all this stuff is in service of that politics.
