A Seven-Year Foreshadowing of Trump’s 2025 Move to Save Persecuted South Africans

Did you know that in 2018, the South African government demanded that the then Australian opposition leader Peter Dutton retract his statements about the persecution of white South Africans, a demand that reveals the ongoing plight of these minorities?

Dutton’s call for fast-tracking their refugee status in Australia, citing rape, murder, and torture, was met with outrage from the South African government in a media statement by the International Relations and Cooperation Minister Lindiwe Sisulu of the African National Congress (ANC), but it revealed a stark reality ignored by many.

The ANC government’s offense at Dutton’s “horrific circumstances” description only masked a truth: white farmers are disproportionately targeted due to anti-white hate speech and land expropriation policies without compensation, stripping them of rights and fueling racial hatred.

Parallel to this, Australian activist Avi Yemini’s 2018 call for action, recently recirculated, which rallied nearly 8,500 signatures in under 48 hours, demanding 80% of Australia’s humanitarian aid for affected South Africans.

His call to action pointed out the ANC’s role in perpetuating violence against white minorities, a persecution that persists despite population disparities making such attacks disproportionately devastating.

The 2025 Expropriation Act, signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa, exacerbates this, ignoring the plight of white farmers while the world, including future U.S. President Trump in 2025, recognizes their suffering.

This 2018 demand, seven years before Trump’s executive order, is a testament to the ignored cultural genocide of white South Africans, a cause Australian voices have championed amidst global silence.
