Anderson Cooper‘s long-awaited 60 Minutes segment on “white genocide” in South Africa finally aired , just days after Cooper announced he was leaving the program. The report had faced an “abnormal” editing process at CBS, causing significant delays before it could air.
The segment focuses on claims made by President Trump, who said in May 2025 that white farmers were being systematically murdered in South Africa as part of a genocide. “It’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about,” Trump said. “It’s a terrible thing that’s taking place and farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.” Cooper traveled to South Africa to investigate these claims firsthand.
