Discussion Genocide?
There are claims that there is a genocide taking place in South Africa and I think the fact that the US is adamantly propagating this propagandistic narrative is more reason not to trust them.
Furthermore, I am disappointed in Trump's refusal to at least consider Ramaphosa's sentiments during yesterday's meeting. He seems to be both gullible and ignorant.
I should finally mention that I am deeply hurt by our fellow white South Africans who are proudly reinforcing these claims of genocide. I know that our country is run by an incompetent and self-serving government that seems to not have any concerns about economic development. However, seeing a cohort of white people take the stance of validating that there is a genocide is painful to witness.
As someone born post apartheid, I'm finally starting to see.

What we have a genuine problem with is crime.
Extreme violent mercyless crime is honestly from our neighbors, Lesotho people are terrorizing the Eastern Cape (Watch Cutting Edge), Zimbabweans are in all sectors of crime including farm attacks, but majority CIT, Zim is where the weapons (TNT, AK47 and etc) used come from zim, most were soldiers. Road spikes, road hijackings etc
Drugs, honestly Nigerians, look in Cape Town, anywhere, however I say Nigeria because drugs in Africa enroute there from Afghanistan to Nigeria, then through Naasport alongside Cigarettes from Zim. Main drug delivery is by container thou in Durban and CPT, watch that show Sizokthola on Moja Love, it'll give a perspective on drugs in South Africa.
Hired killings, that is honestly a local trade, we are guilty there.
Ransome Kidnappings, this seems local at best but not much data on it for me to conclude anything, however a majority of kidnappings are Indians, weirdly so.
