Nelson Mandela and the Collapse of South Africa [12:46-17:46]

displayed the reality of the news blackout and cover-up. Police data indicates that farm murders are fewer than 1% of South Africa's overall homicides, but out of a population of more than 60 million, with only 40,000 white farmers reduced to less than 30,000 by 2026, that is still a high percentage if that figure can be believed. Although the government claims it does not support taking of land and farms, the reality is quite different. Property may not be nationalized per se, or seized by the government, but land is still threatened by those supported by the government. This creates economic uncertainty which most business models avoid. South African courts and crime experts have repeatedly rejected narratives describing a situation as genocide or a systemic racial persecution. There have been almost no convictions of those who murdered whites. The news does not even acknowledge these crimes. In a 60-minute program on CBS, Anderson Cooper reported from South Africa on farm attacks and interviewed local farmers where he personally denied claims that a genocide is occurring. South Africa's unemployment rate has remained extremely high for years above 30%, reaching 40% in late 2025. Most were government jobs that were created and accounted for in the overall employment figures. The method also used by the Obama and Biden administrations to increase jobs and reduce public perception of unemployment. Manufacturing employment has declined sharply, falling from about 2.1 million workers in 2008, to around 1.6 million workers today with recent quarters continuing to show thousands of job losses. Manufacturing once provided stable, higher wage employment for skilled and semi-skilled labor, mining of coal, gold, diamonds, platinum, and the defense industry, and agriculture once formed the backbone of South Africa's economy, and this declined as skilled workers left the country due to unsafe working conditions and corruption. The economy is strained as a large socialist-styled welfare system supports a growing non-working population. Although sanctions globally were lifted against South Africa, the recovery has not met earlier projections. United States has been a major investor since the Clinton administration through the Obama era in finance, banking technology, automotive manufacturing, and energy. American companies operating in South Africa include Ford Motor Company, Microsoft, Google, Citigroup, and Coca-Cola, although concerns about long-term economic stability remain, and a competent workforce is problematic. Chinese investment in South Africa has grown steadily since the early 2000s, particularly in mining and minerals, manufacturing, infrastructure, telecommunications, and renewable energy. While Chinese investment is a long-term and strategic, European countries still remain the largest cumulative investors in the South African economy. The future of South Africa, which is climbing out of a dark hole under various successors and leadership, remains uncertain, hinges upon what happens next. When President Trump presented Ramaphosa with hard evidence, footage of South African politicians inciting violence, crowds chanting, kill the boar, and a video of White Cross's placed in remembrance of murdered farmers, Ramaphosa sat in crushing silence. The reality is detrimental to South Africa's financial recovery and image. The world in general ignores farmers being targeted and killed. Some attacks have killed entire families. Ramaphosa lied when he claimed to have condemned Julius Malema, who calls for a white genocide and, in March 2025, Ramaphosa's spokesperson, Vincent Megwinia, stated that the President would not condemn the kill the boar chant, and why would he? Malema has been singing it since 2010 when he was the ANC youth league president. He and others were chosen by Mandela. In 2018, Ramaphosa said, we would love to have Julius Malema back in the ANC. He is still ANC down deep in his heart. We would like to have members of the EFF or the communist economic freedom fighters back because the ANC is their home. Why are there new prosecutions of those black criminals killing white farmers? Because Julius Malema presides over the Judicial Service Commission, selecting judges, handling complaints and criminal proceedings, and advising the government on judicial matters, he makes the call. The government claims these are just random acts of violence, which they do not report. The expropriation act, which allows the state to confiscate private property without compensation, has now been signed into law. The state has pursued policies explicitly designed to dispossess whites of their property and livelihoods. Included in the video shown by President Chum, was footage of former president Jacob Zuma also singing Dubu Ibonum.
