BREAKING NEWS‼️‼️‼️‼️ 28 July 2025
Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, & Labor (DRL) (as published on their X-account on 28 July 2025 - link below)
In support of @POTUS Executive Orders, DRL just returned from a trip to South Africa to learn more about rural farm attacks and the breakdown of rule of law. Here’s what we found🧵[1/6]
South Africa holds enormous economic and geopolitical promise. However, current breakdowns in law and order are not conducive to growth or collaboration with the United States. The South African government must speak clearly and act decisively to address crime and condemn the violence. [2/6]
Violent crime is rampant in South Africa, but rural attacks—especially on farms—display a distinctly brutal pattern. Local sources reported 296 farm attacks and 49 murders in 2023, and that victims are disproportionately elderly, isolated, and face delayed police response. The South African Police Service reports the number increased to 55 farm murders in 2024. [3/6]
These are not ordinary crimes. In some documented cases, reports detail victims tortured or killed without anything being stolen.
Earlier this year, a man was beaten and hacked with a machete; in another incident, an elderly woman was assaulted and repeatedly stabbed. In both cases, no theft occurred. These attacks are not motivated by poverty alone. [4/6]
In a notable 2023 incident, assailants chanted “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer” as they stabbed their victim. But these aren’t fringe slogans—some South African leaders chant the same words to cheering crowds.
In one case, graffiti praising these leaders was painted on a farmhouse before its owners were brutally attacked. Despite this, as
@POTUS highlighted earlier this year, many South African leaders have failed to condemn this song. [5/6] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLDl3mblm-c)
The international community and mainstream media have decided to remain silent on this issue. Rejecting this moral failure, the United States condemns these brutal attacks and stands with all South Africans working to build a peaceful and more prosperous country. [6/6]

SHOWN IN THE OVAL OFFICE: Proof of Persecution in South Africa
Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) was pioneered by Sanlam, with the mastermind behind BEE being the company’s former executive director, Attie du Plessis.
Attie du Plessis was the brother of Barend du Plessis, a former National Party member who served as Minister of Finance from 1984 to 1992.
The first meeting was in Dakar, Senegal, in 1987. It soon became apparent that the ANC leadership wanted to talk specifically to Afrikaner business leaders.
Grietjie Verhoef wrote that Marinus Daling and Du Plessis were the two leaders from the Sanlam and Sankorp stable who assisted in the talks.
Sanlam and Sankorp created the first BEE deal.
A holding company of Metropolitan Life, Methold, was formed jointly with Sankorp and issued shares in Methold. The shares were only available to black buyers.
