Some white South Africans showed support for President Donald Trump on Saturday and gathered at the US Embassy in Pretoria to claim they are victims of racism by their own government.

Another area identified by Mr Trump is property rights. In a move that America’s president seems to have conflated with actual land seizures, on January 23rd Cyril Ramaphosa, his South African counterpart, signed the Expropriation Act, which gives the state new powers to expropriate property in the “public interest”.

The so-called land question has been a decades-long dilemma for South Africa. A new law seeks to right some of the wrongs of apartheid but has prompted claims from critics that it discriminates against White farmers.

Trump and his allies have targeted South Africa, promoting the false narrative that white people are being mistreated by the nation’s post-apartheid government.

South Africa's second biggest political party has launched a legal challenge against a new land expropriation law that was roundly criticized by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Hundreds of white South Africans gathered at the US embassy in Pretoria on Saturday to support Donald Trump, and protest at what they claim is racism by their own government.

About a thousand people gather outside the US embassy in Pretoria to show support for President Donald Trump after he hit out at the "injust" treatment of white South Africans.
