SAFRICA-US-POLITICS-DEMO

White South Africans supporting US President Donald Trump and South African and US tech billionaire Elon Musk gather in front of the US Embassy in Pretoria, on February 15, 2025 for a demonstration. Trump and Pretoria are locked in a diplomatic row over a land expropriation act that Washington says will lead to the takeover of white-owned farms. Trump, whose tycoon ally Elon Musk was born in South Africa, said on February 7, 2025 the law signed in January would "enable the government of South Africa to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners' agricultural property without compensation". It allows the government, as a matter of public interest, to decide on expropriations without compensation -- but only in exceptional circumstances.
