President Donald Trump says all future funding to South Africa will be cut off pending a “full investigation” into the country’s land redistribution policies.
Trump wrote on his social platform, “South Africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. It is a bad situation that the radical left media doesn’t want to so much as mention. A massive human rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see.”
“The United States won’t stand for it; we will act. Also, I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!”

Furthermore, recent US government data cited by Uncovered Ug showed that South Africa received around $440m of assistance in 2023.
In January, President Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law a bill allowing for the South African state to seize land without compensation, which outlines “how expropriation can be done and on what basis.”.
In conclusion, the government says the purpose of the act is to enable greater access to unused land for the country’s Black majority, which was systematically dispossessed of land in the colonial and apartheid eras and still owns a minority of the country’s arable land.
