Trump said: “We have thousands of stories talking about it,” then ordered his staff: “Turn the lights down and just put this on.”

Sitting next to Trump before the fireplace, Ramaphosa forced a smile and turned to look at a big TV screen as Trump’s South Africa-born billionaire ally Elon Musk, JD Vance, the defence secretary Pete Hegseth and diplomats and journalists from both countries looked on.

The video included footage of former South African president Jacob Zuma and firebrand opposition politician Julius Malema singing an apartheid-era struggle song called “Kill the Boer”, which means farmer or Afrikaner, as supporters danced.

Trump forced him to listen to the Kill the Boer song

Oh shit lol, just wanted to save this before it gets deleted or libified:

The number of crosses grew to 2,506 by 2020,[8] 2,575 in 2022,[9] and to just under 3,000 in 2023. One of them commemorates the well-known white supremacist and neo-Nazi, Eugène Terre'Blanche, who was murdered on his Ventersdorp farm by two of his employees after an altercation over unpaid wages. So clearly, he had it coming. Also, this article singled out this one evil person at this mass gravesite by shear coincidence. Don't read into it at all.

Actually, on further consideration, part of that comment may have been written by some reactionary

I mean... yes. For at least two reasons given in this comment, let alone whatever other vile shit this fucker was surely up to.
