DONALD TRUMP’S SPIRITUAL ADVISER HAS JUST DEBUNKED CLAIMS OF AFRIKANER GENOCIDE

US President Donald Trump’s spiritual adviser may just have saved South Africa’s faltering relationship with the Western superpower. 

In a statement published while visiting South Africa, today, Pastor Mark Burns, the televangelist and board member of Pastors for Trump, who is widely described as President Donald Trump’s spiritual adviser, firmly debunked claims of a white genocide and suggested that Afrikaner refugees admitted into the US a few weeks ago were opportunists.

He said many of the White people he had engaged with in South Africa viewed Trump as a great President, but believed the President had been misinformed of a genocide “by people who wanted an excuse to leave”.

DA SPOKESPERSON CONFIRMS: ISRAEL TRIP VIOLATED PARTY POLICY

The DA has acknowledged that its MPs who travelled to Israel to whitewash the genocidal actions of the Israeli Defense Force should be disciplined. During a Democracy Unplugged podcast hosted by Podcast Party SA last night, Democratic Alliance National Spokesperson Karabo Khakhau made a startling, and important, claim: the DA did not approve the recent trip to Israel by its MPs, and, in her words, “you can’t go there and pretend you’re not an MP.” Khakhau went further, acknowledging that the DA should take disciplinary action against the parliamentarians who joined the controversial delegation.

COMMEMORATING NAKBA DAY: THE ESSENCE OF SOUTH AFRICA’S SHARED HISTORY WITH PALESTINE

Nakba Day, today, commemorates the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from what was previously known as British Palestine – “the catastrophe” – to create the State of Israel on 14 May 1948. A few weeks later, thousands of kilometers away, the National Party, with its policy of apartheid, was voted into power by the White South African electorate, on 4 June 1948. Both Israel and South Africa enacted policies that stripped indigenous people of their land rights and dignity, conferring second class status on those allowed to remain and herding the rest into ethnic enclaves.

CAPE FLATS RESIDENTS MEET ALL CRITERIA FOR U.S. REFUGEE STATUS BESIDES SKIN COLOUR

On the basis of their home language, historic expropriation of land without compensation, and exposure to the most extreme levels of violence in South Africa, many residents of the gang-ravaged Cape Flats should qualify for consideration by the US as potential refugees. The only reason they do not is colour.

FAKE REFUGEES: IMPOSE SPECIAL WEALTH TAX ON THE SALES OF THEIR FIXED PROPERTY

The first group of “Afrikaner refugees” are expected to land in the United States next week, the New York Times reported today. They are being granted refugee status on the basis of a web of right-wing lies that South Africa is grabbing land owned by Whites and conducting a genocide against Afrikaners. These lies have had a profoundly detrimental effect on South Africa’s relationship with the US.

BANNED FROM BEIJING: MEC MEYER MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

Honourable members, let us not lose sight of a fundamental principle: when you are an elected official, the lines between your personal and public life are inevitably blurred.  This is not just a matter of perception; it is a matter of responsibility. MEC Meyer, as the Western Cape Minister for Agriculture, Economic Development and Tourism, holds a position of public trust. His foremost duty is to protect and advance the economic interests of this province. So how can that duty be effectively carried out if he is personally banned from entering China, our largest trading partner in Asia?
