⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Several residents living in a white neighborhood in South Africa have denied U.S. President Donald Trump's conspiracy theory on "white genocide" in the African country in interviews with China Central Television (CCTV). During a meeting with visiting South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump accused South Africa of "white genocide" and unfair land seizures, and then unexpectedly presented a video and a stack of printed news articles which he said proved his allegations. Ramaphosa firmly denied the claim and refuted the notion that white South Africans are fleeing the country due to racist policies. Residents in Noordhoek, a small town in southern Cape Peninsula, of which almost 90 percent of the population are white, told the CCTV that their community is very safe. "The life here is great. But I wouldn't say super safe. In Noordhoek, it's very safe," said a resident. Admitting some areas in South Africa are not as safe as Noordhoek, the interviewees said the country is generally safe and denied any racial disparities in crime rates. "I think there are definitely certain areas within South Africa that they are more a target, but overall in South Africa, I really don't think we are the target at all," said another resident. "I think there's crime amongst all the people. So, of course, [if] they got more underprivileged people, and in those areas where there was not so much money, there's more crime. But amongst the black people, there's still crime, also with the whites," said another resident. Some of the interviewees called Trump's claims about "white genocide" and the killing of white farmers in South Africa "ridiculous." "Trump is crazy. He is saying all the stuff about white South African farmers getting killed. Do you know what he did? He showed pictures of random white people that are also not from South Africa," said still another resident. SHOTLIST: Western Cape, South Africa - May 22, 2025 1.
