Prof. Barney Pityana: Trump, Afrikaners: Attempt at bolstering USA Rightwing Voter Base

The diplomatic lines between Washington and Pretoria are being redrawn behind closed doors, and this multi-part investigative series is breaking down the data, the documents, and the hidden agendas. Based on an explosive analysis published by the Thabo Mbeki Foundation, this series launches a deep-dive investigation into an unprecedented geopolitical shift: ordinary South African citizens bypassing official diplomatic channels to negotiate directly with senior White House officials. We investigate the strategic lobbying efforts of right-wing Afrikaner groups, track the money trails behind calls for a foreign-funded "Volkstaat," and cross-examine international claims of "genocide" against hard empirical data.
