AfriForum’s latest documentary, Is Trump right about South Africa?, has been viewed more than 30 million times since yesterday after South African-born billionaire Elon Musk spoke out about racial discrimination in South Africa in a post on the social media platform X in which he also shared the documentary.

This gives the civil rights organisation renewed courage and confidence, knowing that the truth about the South African government will be heard. The documentary exposes the South African government’s destructive and discriminatory policies.

In his X post, Musk describes South Africa’s 142 laws forcing racial discrimination “against anyone who is not black” as a “shameful disgrace”. 

In AfriForum’s documentary, the organisation’s Head of Public Relations, Ernst van Zyl, talks to Martin van Staden of the Free Market Foundation and Theo de Jager of SAAI about, among other things, the extensive number of racial laws in South Africa and their applications, the new Expropriation Act, the “Kill the Boer” chant and farm murders. 

“The truth about the South African government is coming out, whether the ANC likes it or not. The spotlight that is now being placed internationally on it is largely due to figures such as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk taking a stand on this,” says Van Zyl.
