Anti-white South African laws go far beyond the Expropriation Act, signed into law by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in January 2025, which allows land seizures by the state without compensation.
This from frontpagemag.com.
In 2009 Newsweek magazine reported on “South Africa’s New White Flight” and the high rate of violent crime there as the main reason for emigration:
The primary driver for emigration among all groups, but especially whites, who still retain the majority of South Africa’s wealth, is fear of crime. With more than 50 killings a day, South Africa has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world. The same goes for rape—ranking the country alongside conflict zones such as Sierra Leone, Colombia and Afghanistan…
Fast forward to 2025 when the BBC reported:
[A]lmost 70,000 South Africans, the vast majority of them white Afrikaners and descendants of Dutch and French settlers who began arriving at the Cape in the late 17th century, were interested in United States asylum.
In April 2025, South African businessman Rob Hersov, a 5th-generation Afrikaner, told Dave Rubin:
[T]he country under President Cyril Ramaphosa is slowly going bankrupt, and the country [is] in the midst of a political and economic crisis and fraught with corruption.
Further:
South Africa is infected with the evil woke mind more than in America.
We’ve got it times two and there’s no momentum in South Africa to reverse it.
And:
South Africa needs a big wakeup call.
That call has come in the person of Donald J. Trump, who recently granted 59 white South Afrikaners refugee status in the United States because of that country’s racist attacks on its white citizens for being the descendants of whites who upheld apartheid.
The new law gives the government the right to seize not only farmland but any property from whites, since they are the primary landowners, when the government deems it is in the national interest.
Defenders of the law are fond of saying that because it has not been enacted yet, whites have no reason to complain; but the mere fact it is on the books is tantamount to aiming a loaded gun at South Africa’s minority white population.
Hersov explained:
[T]he law even gives the government the right to ‘take the watch off my arm…. They barely need to justify it.’
Further:
There are so many other laws in South Africa that are anti-white, race-based and make it almost impossible for businesses to thrive there.
Hersov said:
In fact, South Africa wasn’t stolen; it was given away to the African National Congress (ANC), who dismantled a thriving nation through corruption, incompetence, and greed.
It’s time to stop making excuses and start demanding real leadership to rebuild the country’s future.
The ANC is the party that freed South Africa from apartheid in 1990 but lost its parliamentary majority in 2024, although it still holds considerable sway and influence along with the country’s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), a Marxist-Leninist pan-Africanist political party.
Under its current racist black leadership, South Africa—the country’s next national election is scheduled for 2029—has the highest unemployment in the world.
One anti-white law impacts business because it mandates that every business in the country must have 30% black ownership.
Is it any wonder then that South African Airlines, once the premier airline in Africa, is now bankrupt? Even the country’s electrical supply system (the Eskom Electricity Supply Commission) is failing: it shuts down for at least 4-5 hours a day, leaving citizens without electricity.
And yet despite its 140 race–based laws, all of them anti-white, organizations like the ADL claim:
[W]hite supremacists have seized upon some of the farm-related violence in South Africa since the end of apartheid to peddle a propaganda campaign.
But Leftists in the United States, especially as represented by the most Marxist Church in Christendom (Episcopal), a Church that has swapped The Book of Common Prayer for Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, has pledged not to help the white refugees because they are privileged and their claim of persecution is a myth.
The Left’s opinion of South African refugees is that Trump’s executive order in February 2025 granting refugee status to Afrikaners is a travesty because they are the descendants of Afrikaners who repressed the black majority during apartheid.
As The Guardian put it:
White South Africans typically have 20 times the wealth of Black people…. The Black South African unemployment rate is 46.1%, compared with 9.2% for white people.
The logic being: When you have most of the wealth, you still stand in the shadow of privilege and persecution can’t happen to you.
In South Africa, white farmers have for years been exposed to an unprecedented wave of violence.
To wit:
– Statistically, a farm is attacked every day in South Africa.
– South Africa has the world’s highest murder rate, but the murder rate among white South Africans is three times higher than the national average, while that of white farmers is six times higher, and
– Often, the victims are tortured and ill-treated for hours before being killed.
