23:56Now PlayingTrump’s ‘Demonic’ Gaza Plan and Racist South Africa Freeze, Explained
YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEbrahim Rasool, South Africa’s Ambassador to the US sits down with Mehdi Hasan to discuss US President Donald Trump’s executive order freezing US aid to South Africa.
Rasool also addresses Special Government Employee Elon Musk’s involvement in South Africa’s internal politics.
Last week, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order freezing US aid to South Africa, saying that their new land ownership law – meant to address the legacy of apartheid – “blatantly discriminates against ethnic minority Afrikaners.” This came just days after Elon Musk railed against the law on Twitter, calling it “openly racist.”
“They know that there is no land confiscation,” Rasool tells Mehdi. “ They know that Afrikaners and whites own 70% of the land to this day and all the farms.”
The ambassador also discussed the country’s ICJ case against Israel, which the Trump administration cited as one of the reasons for freezing aid to South Africa.
“Whatever we've experienced in South Africa is [apartheid] on steroids in Palestine,” Rasool tells Mehdi.
