The government and all political parties in South Africa are uniting in opposition to Donald Trump after the American president announced a freeze on aid to the country. He accuses Pretoria of mistreating its white minority following the introduction of a recent law on the expropriation of land. South Africa’s president has condemned the move as ‘propaganda’.
In response to the expropriation reform, financial aid to South Africa was frozen following the signing of an executive order on 7 February. Outlining the reasons for its decision, a statement from the White House explained that it sees the reform as an attack on Afrikaners.
