Here are a few of the best responses.

Lindour Sokwalisa Buckley (Stanger): The ‘white genocide’ narrative is a manipulative trope used to distort reality. Trump’s claims about South Africa likely reflect a lack of understanding about the country’s land reform efforts, which aim to address historical injustices but they’ve been hampered by complexity and inefficiency.

Shaun Erasmus (Salt Rock): I support the idea of accepting white South African farmers as refugees. While it may not fit the strict definition of genocide, race-based laws like BEE have created real challenges for many white South Africans, especially in terms of employment and the ability to support their families. These policies, though intended to address past injustices, can have unintended consequences that marginalize people based on race. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live and work in safety, and if people are being pushed out of their livelihoods because of who they are, they should have the right to seek refuge elsewhere.

Pat Gilliat (Amanzimtoti): I think that it is great because it has brought it into the world’s focus.’Kill the Boer’ is going to be hard for Ramaphosa to explain to Donald Trump.

Ray de Bruyn (Durban): For those shouting that there is no genocide. Google the meaning, you may be surprised. Allowing Julius to chant kill the Boer, etc etc is inciting violence on one particular ethnic group. So Trump may have it right actually. What we need to do is to pull together regardless of colour, we are all humans, we have the power together to make a change and stand up against this so that we don’t have to loose valuable resources.

Wayne Myers (Durban): There is no genocide here and everyone is at risk of crime. Farmers on the whole have been soft targets and most criminals think white farmers are rich so they have been targeted. Our failing police service and court systems cannot keep South Africans safe.

Harry Vlavianos (California): Let’s cut through the hypocrisy. The overwhelming majority of asylum seekers entering the US aren’t fleeing war zones or genocide – they’re from places like Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. There’s no war and no genocide in Mexico. Yet hundreds of thousands have claimed asylum due to cartel violence, corruption or economic hardship. And they’re being approved. Meanwhile, millions of Americans vacation in Mexico every year, posting Instagram photos from beaches and luxury resorts. If you judged by that, you’d think it’s paradise for the whole country. So why are so many fleeing? Because asylum is not strictly only about war or genocide – it’s about personal safety, instability, and, yes, a better life. The same applies to the South African 49. They applied legally, citing the reality of violent crime and the need to live behind security fences and burglar bars to stay safe. Whether their fear is based on direct threats or justifiable concern, it’s no less valid than someone fleeing a cartel-dominated town in Mexico. The real issue people have? They’re white. And they were let in under Trump. Suddenly, everyone’s an expert on US immigration law and refugee criteria – after years of silence about a broken asylum system. Let’s be honest: this outrage isn’t about fairness or refugee legitimacy. It’s about anti-white, antiTrump bias dressed up as moral outrage.

Zithulele Probability Innocent (Mandeni): There’s no genocide of farmers in SA. Those farmers are crazy, if they wanna see genocide they must go to Durban townships – Inanda or Umlazi for instance. Those are areas that need focus not bloody so called farmers who are lying. Crime affects everyone here, they are not special because they are white.

Jane Kuzlo: Crime is colour blind. Everyone is suffering and more black people are being murdered than white. Farmers, regardless of their skin colour are more vulnerable as they are isolated.
