'Ridiculous and lame': South Africans mock Donald Trump proposals
US President Donald Trump's offer to accept white Afrikaners as
refugees has been termed 'ridiculous' and 'lame' by South Africans.
On Friday, Trump cut off aid to South Africa and claimed, without
evidence, that the Pretoria government is seizing white-owned land and persecuting Afrikaners, descendants of European settlers.
South Africa-born billionaire Elon Musk, the world's richest person
and Trump's right-hand man, has in the past echoed far-right
conspiracy theories about a "white genocide" in the country.
"Trump doesn't know anything about this. I feel like Elon Musk is
pushing him behind and saying: 'There's something there. Go look at
it,'" said Lulusuku Mahlangu.
"Its greed," the electrical engineering student said.
"When you have too much power, you think you can control everyone."
