South Africa’s President Syrill Lamafosa has moved to relieve the new US administration over the new land law by talking to the Elon Musk.

Land ownership has been a problem in South Africa for a long time, 30 years after the end of the apartheid racist system, in most private farmland owned by whites.
There was a continuous demand for the government to deal with land reform and deal with past fraud in racism.
In the first response to Trump, South Africa said, “the government has not confiscated land.”
On Sunday, Trump wrote: TRUTH SOCIAL, a social media platform,:
He later said in a briefing with journalists, “Leadership is doing some terrible and terrible things in South Africa.”
“So we are investigating now. We make a decision. Until we know what South Africa is doing, they are robbing land and confiscating land. It is worse.”
South Africa’s new law allows deployments without compensation only in situations where they are “fair, fair and public interests.”

According to a government report in 2017, 72 % of the farmland in the personal hands were owned by white people. According to the 2022 census, whites account for 7.3 % of the population.
However, some critics have expressed the fear that new land laws could cause miserable results, like Zimbabwe, which caused the economy to destroy the economy and scared of investors.
