Since the return of Donald Trump to the White House in January, there has been an upsurge in right-wing propaganda against the government of South Africa – from claims that Pretoria is discriminating against White people to allegations it’s perpetrating a ‘genocide’ against them.
The Trump administration has not been an innocent bystander: the president himself and his sidekick, Elon Musk, have been leading the attack from the front.
South Africa-based right-wing organisations such as AfriForum and Solidarity have also played a central role in this campaign against the country they call their home.
In this video, we react to an interview with Ernst Roets, the deputy leader of AfriForum, by US right-wing podcaster Tucker Carlson – and expose the misinformation the pair peddle.
