AI Summary:
Hundreds of protesters held placards that read “Thank God for President Trump”. Many were from the Afrikaner community that Trump focused on in an executive order a week ago. Trump said South Africa's Afrikaners were being targeted by a new law that allows the government to expropriate private land. The South African government denies its new law is tied to race. The Trump administration's criticism and punishment of South Africa has elevated a long-standing dilemma in the country over moves to address the wrongs of centuries of white minority rule that oppressed the Black majority. According to the government, the land law aims to fairly address the inequality that the majority of farmland in South Africa is owned by whites. Influential Trump adviser Elon Musk has also criticized South Africa’s government and claimed it is anti-white for years.
