Media outlets use different pics all the time. That doesn't dispute the story.
Using false pictures ruins credibility. I understand that file photos are used at times, but they should be labeled as file photos.

Trump Confronts Ramaphosa Over ‘Afrikaner Genocide’ in Oval Office Meeting
President Donald Trump and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa clashed during a meeting at the White House on Wednesday, with Trump presenting what he said was evidence of violence and systematic targeting of white farmers, an accusation Ramaphosa rejected.
The tense exchange occurred as diplomatic tensions grow over allegations that South Africa has discriminated against white farmers, engaged in “white genocide,” and has deepened its ties with Hamas and Iran.
White population in south africa is 10% they own 80% of land. Which leads to how did they take over so much land. Here is what I got in Google
So what, that could be said of EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. All you have to do is go back far enough.
Which leads to how did they take over so much land. Here is what I got in Google
White people's disproportionate land ownership in South Africa is a direct consequence of historical policies and actions, primarily during the colonial and apartheid eras, which systematically dispossessed the Black majority of their land.
Here's a breakdown of how this happened:
1. Colonial Era Dispossession:
Historic documents show that the Black Population in South Africa has thrived over the past 100 years. Its black population increased by an astonishing 920% since 1913, mainly thanks to the lavish food supplies produced by ‘white’ farmers and the socio-economic-medical benefits of Western infrastructure.
Meanwhile its white population remained stagnant: in 1913 there were 1,2million whites and 100 years later, there are an estimated 3,4million whites. At least 1million ‘whites’ have already fled since the start of black rule in 1994: an estimated 70,000 whites have already been killed by black-racist murder gangs, amongst them at least 4,000 white ( mostly Boer Afrikaans-speaking) farmers and family-members. ...
In reality, “whites who came to South Africa in 1652 and thereafter, found a land devoid of basic development and infrastructure, sparsely populated by meandering tribes who had no written word and whose way of life was the absolute antithesis of Western mores.
“It is now acknowledged that the Khoi-San groups, and their sub-groups, are the indigenous peoples of South Africa.
“Whites and black African groups arrived in various parts of the country around the same time. They met at the Fish River in the Eastern Cape, and wars followed.” ...
The TAU also pointed out that prior to the arrival of the whites, blacks did not have any concept of land ownership or even writing. ...
A great migration of black people from Great Lakes region southwards…
“It is known that a great migration of black people took place from the Great Lakes region southwards, eventually reaching Southern Africa. Numerous reports exist as to which tribe went exactly where. But these reports are not the historical property of the black peoples. ...
Only 6 percent of farmers in South Africa produce 95% of all the food for 53-million people…
This means that only 6 percent of farmers in South Africa produce 95 percent of the food for 53 million people.
So, what kind of numbers are we talking here? Tens of thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens per year?
And why aren't they forming militias, patroling their land, fighting back?

our government likes to choose whom is special and needs help. I really don’t think our government represents us.
South Africa’s President, Cyril “Chuck” Ramaphosa, 72, asked for the meeting with President Trump, which was probably his first mistake. I’m going to try not to be too critical of Chuck, since it seems he is expecting. That, or we now know where Uncle Bosey is. But I digress.
The genesis of the “astonishing confrontation” was a series of sharp criticisms over the last few months by Trump and various Trump Administration officials aimed at South Africa’s non-diverse government. As the Times characterized it, Trump has baselessly accused the South African government of genocide against the country’s original inhabitants, the Afrikaners, who happen to be people of pallor.
The problems have been growing for months. The Times seemed most offended about a recent official visit from white Afrikaner lobbyists, since the White House’s media briefing called them “civil rights leaders.” How dare they. Another widely covered story last week reported about how, after suspending all other refugee claims, DHS admitted dozens of white South African families to the US as political refugees, which appeared to officially endorse the “genocide” agenda.
In February, Trump signed an Executive Order pausing all foreign aid to South Africa in response to a new law called the “Expropriation Act,” signed by Ramaphosa himself (not the Autopen), which allows the South African government to confiscate white people’s land without compensation. In March, Secretary of State Rubio expelled South Africa’s ambassador to the US, Ebrahim Rasool, calling him “a race-baiting politician who hates America,” applying to Ebrahim the dreaded diplomatic designation of persona non grata.
Anyway, President Ramaphosa, for those reasons and maybe most of all because of Trump’s 31% tariffs, finally wished to meet face-to-face, to convince President Trump through the force of his affable personality that the American President was wrong, that there is not actually any race problem in South Africa. The Times, showing the kind of keen journalistic skepticism it normally reserves for claims of Biden cognitive impairment or jab injuries, felt the matter was settled, since President Ramaphosa’s government’s official crime statistics “prove” there is no problem:
The American president was not much interested in the answer,
which is that police statistics do not show that white people are
more vulnerable to violent crime than other people in South Africa.
In outrage, the Times claimed President Trump staged the meeting —a meeting he didn’t ask for — for political optics. But, arguably, Chuck started it, and not particularly helpfully. South Africa ironically fielded an all-black delegation to rebut claims of anti-white racism. Bad optics. True, Chuck hauled along two token white golfers, but the large political team accompanying President Ramaphosa was so monochromatic and so non-diverse it would have set an HR manager’s hair on fire.
The two leaders chatted genially at first. But problems started when Ramaphosa, prompted by a reporter’s question, strained to deny the allegations of a "white genocide.” President Trump saw him coming 1,000 miles away. He turned to an aide and said, “play the video.” The Oval Office lights dramatically dimmed, and viewers (and the South African delegation) endured a painful five minutes of video clips showing one black South African leader calling for the death of white farmers after another. ...
Ironically, last October, South Africa officially accused Israel of genocidal acts in the International Court of Justice. Equally ironically, when Trump questioned one of Ramaphosa’s token white golfers, things went sideways. Reteif Goosen, who once survived a golfing lighting strike, admitted his South African family relies on an electric fence for protection, their farm suffers constant arson attacks “trying to drive us away,” that many of his father’s friends have been murdered, and that his brothers and his mother have been attacked in their homes.
More bad optics.
Trump and Ramaphosa continued the meeting, had lunch and, according to reports, discussed trade in a friendly way. But the narrative fuse was lit, and the dramatic Oval Office video dominated yesterday’s headlines and social media. If nothing else, we can say —wielding his customary patented media prowess— President Trump has at least focused the world’s attention on the plight of white South African farmers.
There 10 items on the list of factors(?) that make a genocide. Supposedly, SA meets 8 out of 10 of those items.
I see claims of between 8 and 50 farmers killed in SA in 2024.
What number did Donnie present?

if that’s genocide, any of our cities crime stats are practically holocaust bordering human extinction.
Isn't this why God invented Zulus? Airdrop them in armed and unleash them on the fatted bush league 65 IQers. Nothing like a good Heglelian Tribal slaughter to take the heat off the farmers.
President Donald Trump is reportedly looking to reduce annual refugee admissions by 94 percent compared to former President Joe Biden’s last year in office.
According to a report from the New York Times, Trump will reduce the refugee resettlement program’s annual cap to 7,500 admissions after Biden imported more than 100,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2024 alone.
The refugee resettlement cap is merely a numerical limit and does not serve as a figure to be reached like a goal.
Most of the slots, according to the Times, would be reserved for South Africans who are the descendants of Dutch and French settlers.
Already this year, the Trump administration has welcomed such South Africans to the United States as refugees — a move that came with rebuke from the establishment media, Democrats, and refugee agencies, even as the refugees faced racial discrimination and violence in their home country.
The Trump administration is drastically cutting the number of refugees it will admit to the United States, rejecting thousands of people fleeing war and persecution while reserving the record-low number of slots for mostly white Afrikaner South Africans.
The administration lowered the ceiling of refugee admissions to just 7,500 for the fiscal year that started this month, down from the cap of 125,000 set by the Biden administration last year, according to a notice in the Federal Register posted Thursday.
The notice made plans official that had been in the works for months. They overhaul a program that for decades made the U.S. a sanctuary from persecution and turn it into one that gives preference to English speakers and white people overseas whom President Donald Trump has pledged to protect.
Maybe a separate homeland for whites is a good answer.
South African authorities raided a U.S. refugee facility in Johannesburg, briefly detaining U.S. staff who have been processing white Afrikaner refugees. ...
Trump earlier this year designated the lowest refugee cap in history, directing that the majority of the 7,500 slots go to white South Africans.

First white South African 'refugees' arrive in US as Trump claims they face 'genocide'
The Trump administration has welcomed 59 white South Africans it has granted refugee status in the US for being deemed victims of racial discrimination, Reuters reports, in a move that has drawn criticism from Democrats and stirred confusion in South Africa.
Donald Trump has blocked mostly non-white refugee admissions from the rest of the world – even those fleeing war – but in February offered to resettle Afrikaners, the descendants of mostly Dutch settlers, saying they faced discrimination.
Asked on Monday why white South Africans were being prioritized above the victims of famine and war elsewhere in Africa, Trump claimed, without providing evidence, that Afrikaners were being killed. “It’s a genocide that’s taking place,” Trump told reporters at the White House, going further than he has previously in echoing rightwing tropes about their alleged persecution.
He was not favoring Afrikaners because they are white, Trump said, adding that their race “makes no difference to me”.
South Africa maintains there is no evidence of persecution and that claims of a “white genocide” in the country have not been backed up by evidence. Treating white South Africans as refugees fleeing oppression has drawn alarm and ridicule from South African authorities, who say the Trump administration has waded into a domestic issue it does not understand.
A state department official said the charter plane carrying the first 59 Afrikaners brought under Trump’s offer had landed at Washington Dulles airport. Some were heading to Democratic-leaning Minnesota, which has a reputation for welcoming refugees, while others planned to go to Republican-led states such as Idaho and Alabama, sources told Reuters.
Democratic senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, the most senior Democrat on the Senate foreign relations committee, called the move “baffling”. In a statement on Monday she said:
