Summary at a Glance

After taking over as US president last month, Mr Trump accused South Africa of indulging in “massive human rights violations” and of confiscating land from white farmers and issued an executive order to cut aid to the country.

A South African court dismissed allegations of “white genocide” in the country as "clearly imagined" and "not real", negating claims by former US president Donald Trump and his adviser Elon Musk.

As long as South Africa “allows violent attacks on innocent disfavored minority farmers, the United States will stop aid and assistance to the country,” a White House summary of the order said.

The case was brought by Bray's four siblings who claimed that their brother had become "obsessed with the idea of an impending genocide of white people in South Africa" in the last 10 years of his life.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have accused South Africa of enabling ‘genocide’ of white farmers.
