The agrarian reform in South Africa has aroused intense political debate in recent months, creating tensions with Donald Trump and his administration. A new law authorizes the expropriation of unprecedented land without compensation, which prompted certain farmers and activists to request the aid of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, saying that white South Africans were victims of “racial persecution”. But other farmers denounce disinformation. To date, no expropriation without compensation has taken place. Report by Caroline Dumay, Tom Canetti and Stefan Carstens.
