Trump’s false evidence of South Africa ‘white genocide’ was images from the Democratic Republic of Congo!
The picture accompanying the article that he's showing 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.
Trump, holding up a print-out of an article, said, “These are all white farmers that are being buried,”
At another point in the meeting with Ramaphosa, Trump played a video that he claimed proved genocide is being committed against white people in South Africa. Within it was footage that Trump claimed showed the graves of more than a thousand white farmers, marked by white crosses.
The footage – taken at a highway connecting the small towns of Newcastle and Normandein in South Africa – in fact showed a memorial site, and not graves.
Rob Hoatson, who set up the memorial to capture public attention, told the BBC it was not a burial site, saying, "It was a memorial. It was not a permanent memorial that was erected. It was a temporary memorial".

All this is not for the care of white South Africans, but because Israel is mad with South Africa.
