The government blasted Trump’s tweet calling out land seizures in South Africa. It called the president’s message “false information” that reflects a “narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation and reminds us of our colonial past.”
“I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers,” the president told his Twitter followers Wednesday.

Not only are they killing them, they are torturing first. Some of the stories coming out of there are truly horrific.
SA has an unenviable past when it comes to race relations. But its more than Dutch and English. The various native tribes have always had unsettled relations with each other before white men ever dropped anchor there.
Apartheid was an evil, but under international pressure(biggest levers against it were white countries) it succumbed. But rule by a majority of the population once it ended has not been a success. They are backsliding and the decision to expropriate will likely end up like Rhodesia's did.
