Meanwhile, the White House has openly accepted Trump’s gift. During a meeting with the South African president, Trump repeatedly pushed false claims about white farmers being killed by Black South Africans — claims that have been debunked again and again.
What rarely gets mentioned is the real struggle faced by millions of South Africans: poverty, unemployment, and reliance on social grants just to survive. While powerful politicians debate false narratives and accept luxury gifts worth hundreds of millions, ordinary people in South Africa depend on government support like child grants, old-age pensions, and disability grants to put food on the table.
That contrast says everything — extreme political excess on one side, and citizens on the other simply trying to survive, often checking their SASSA Status Check to see whether their grant has been approved or paid. This is where the real story is, not in fear-mongering or misinformation.
