White South Africans Petition US Embassy for Intervention in Land and Racial Policies
A group of white South Africans has formally petitioned the US embassy for intervention in the country’s land and racial policies, expressing concerns over the controversial Expropriation Act and ongoing farm murders.
Rallying under the banner “Make South Africa Great Again,” the group submitted a detailed 26-page memorandum outlining their grievances, specifically addressing the treatment of the Afrikaner community. The US embassy confirmed receiving the petition and stated it would forward the document to President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for further review.

In a statement, the embassy said, “The US Embassy in South Africa received a petition this morning addressed to President Donald Trump, seeking U.S. support to change policies and laws affecting the Afrikaner community in South Africa. We will transmit the full text of the document to the president and Secretary of State for immediate action.”
This petition comes shortly after President Trump signed an executive order cutting US funding to South Africa, citing alleged human rights violations linked to the nation’s land policies. Trump condemned the South African government’s actions on his Truth Social platform, stating, “South Africa is confiscating land and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed!”
Elon Musk, a prominent critic of the South African government, also voiced his opinion on the matter. However, local Afrikaner organizations such as AfriForum and the Orania Movement have rejected Trump’s intervention, reaffirming their commitment to remaining in South Africa despite the current challenges.
In response to Trump’s stance, President Cyril Ramaphosa dismissed the US intervention, asserting that South Africa would not tolerate outside interference in its internal matters. “We will not be bullied,” Ramaphosa stated, reaffirming the country’s sovereignty.
