Other images displayed by Trump during meeting with South African president Cyril Ramaphosa were false or misleading
The evidence of supposed mass killings of white South Africans presented by Donald Trump in a tense White House meeting on Wednesday were in some cases images from the Democratic Republic of Congo, while footage shown during the meeting was falsely portrayed as depicting “burial sites”.
“These are all white farmers that are being buried,” said Trump, holding up a print-out of an article accompanied by a picture during the contentious Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.
The picture accompanying the article was in fact a screengrab of a video published by Reuters on 3 February and subsequently verified by the news agency’s fact check team, showing humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the Congolese city of Goma. The image was pulled from Reuters footage shot after deadly battles with Rwanda-backed M23 rebels.
It has been 32 years since. Many people still live in poverty if the ANC actually cared about the people they would have sorted out education, but keep the masses uneducated and they will vote for you. A pass rate in SA is 30% to push up pass statistics. A fucking joke.
Make policies that encourage investment and job creation.
Get a police force that is actually competent.
All our SOEs are running at losses and require constant bail outs. Our rail system is fucked. Our energy supply is fucked. Our water supply is near fucked. Our roads are fucked. Way too much corruption causing this. Officials looting money that is meant for the people of the nation. I could go on.
Fix root causes.
But populism over logical policies…
