Elon Musk wades in on 'racist' SA laws after Ramaphosa responds to Trump
Elon Musk, the world’s richest person and a South African-born US citizen who has US President Donald Trump’s ear, on Monday waded into the dispute over SA’s policies.
This after the SA government defended itself on Monday against criticism of its land expropriation policy by Trump, who threatened to cut off funding to the country pending an inquiry into the issue.
Trump said on Sunday, without citing evidence, that “South Africa is confiscating land” and “certain classes of people” were being treated “very badly”. “I will be cutting off all future funding to South Africa until a full investigation of this situation has been completed,” he said.
President Cyril Ramaphosa said the government had not confiscated any land and he looked forward to engaging Trump to foster a better understanding about the matter.
