Earlier this year, South African lawmakers passed the Expropriation Without Compensation Act. This is part of their country’s effort to address the injustices of the past. During the years of white minority rule, black South Africans were dispossessed of their land, some even forcibly relocated to areas far from business districts.

The government and all political parties in South Africa are now uniting in their opposition to Donald Trump. The American President has announced a freeze on all aid to the country, accusing Pretoria of mistreating its white minority following the introduction of a recent expropriation law.
