During an extraordinary meeting at the White House on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump presented South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with a collection of press clippings, video footage and commentary alleging that South Africa’s white farmers were being systematically targeted for murder and land confiscation. Central to Trump’s presentation were clippings from various obscure websites, a debunked video montage of opposition politician Julius Malema, and an aerial video he described as evidence of mass graves of white farmers.
