President of South Africa called Musk to calm Trump Land Row

South African President Cyril Ramfosa has talked to Elon Musk and transferred a line with the new US administration on a new land law.

Mr. Musk is a close advisor to US President Donald Trump, who threatened to cut all the future funding for South Africa on Sunday that it was seizing the land and “” very badly with people from some classes Was behaving with “.

Born in South Africa, Tech Billowaires joined the criticism as to why Ramfosa had openly “Racist Ownership Act”.

Ramposa’s office said The President called Shri Musk “constitutionally reiterated the constitutional values ​​of honor for the rule of law, justice, fairness and equality of South Africa”.

Last month, President Cyril Ramfosa signed a bill in the law which allows land recovery without compensation in some circumstances,

The ownership of the land has long been a controversial issue in South Africa, with most private farms under the ownership of white people, 30 years after the end of the racist system of apartheid.

Continuous calls have been made to the government to address land reforms and deal with previous injustice of racial isolation.

In his initial response to Trump, the President of South Africa stated that his government has “seized any land”.

On Sunday, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social: “I will cut all the future funding for South Africa until the entire investigation of this situation is complete!”

He later said, in a briefing with journalists, that South Africa’s “leadership is doing some terrible work, terrible things”.

“So it is under investigation right now. We will take a determination, and as long as we are finding out what South Africa is doing – they are land and seizing, and in reality they are doing such things. Those who are probably far away. “

The new law of South Africa allows only for exemption without compensation only under the circumstances where it is “just and justified and public interest”.

This involves that if the property is not being used and has no intention or there is an intention to earn money from it, or when it raises risks for people.

The ownership of the land has been a burning issue in South Africa for more than a century. In 1913, British colonial authorities passed the law, which banned the country’s black majority property rights.

The Native Land Act left most of the land under the control of the white minority and set the foundation for forcibly removing the black people for the poor motherland and township in decades, which intervened by the end of apartheid.

Anger on removing these forces accelerated the fight against the white-parasitic rules.

In 1994, the African National Congress (ANC) leader Nelson Mandela became the first democratically elected President of the country, as all South African people were given the right to vote.

But until the recently passed law, the government was able to buy land from its current owners only under the principle of “interested sellers, interested buyers”, who feels something that the land improvement process is delayed.

In 2017, a government report Said that the farm which was in the hands of private individuals was 72% white owned. According to 2022 census White people create 7.3% of the population.

However, some critics have expressed apprehension that the new land law may have disastrous consequences like Zimbabwe, where the seizures ruined the economy and scare investors.
