Mineral and Petroleum Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe has urged Africa to take control of its vast mineral resources and push back against developed nations, particularly the US, which he accused of dictating the terms of global mining and industrialisation. Speaking at the 31st Investing in African Mining conference (mining indaba) in Cape Town on Monday, Mantashe criticised Western countries for defining “critical minerals” to serve their own interests, sidelining Africa’s broader economic needs. He said South Africa and other African nations should not cower in fear of US threats. “Let us withhold minerals to the US,” he said. “If they don’t give us money, let’s not give them minerals … we are not just beggars. Let us use that endowment for our benefit. If, as a continent, we are [paralysed] with fear, we are going to collapse, but with minerals at our doorstep. |
So Musky's white friends? |
Apartheid Ken (South African-American) wants to Make Apartheid Great Again! |
Perhaps you are talking about Israel |
The irony when the white South Africans responded:’ We have to state categorically: We don't want to move elsewhere," Kriel said.’ How embarrassing https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/09/white-south-africans-us-00203271

Have you ever heard of Apartheid? And the brutal, violent oppression of black people by white colonizers in South Africa? You need to go ready some history books. |
Why would anyone want to move to the United States now, especially if they aren't poor and desperate? |
This is the Musk administration. Trump is just a flashing neon distraction. |
I can't believe our president is pretending that these people are victims after their families were responsible for apartheid. Like these families don't have other options if they don't want to live there anymore. These families have no ties to America and are far from the list of people I'd consider needing assistance as a refugee. |
President Musk is only after the mineral resources. |
The “issue” in South Africa is just more fiction from the far right.
“A South African court has dismissed claims of a “white genocide” in the country as “clearly imagined and not real,” as part of a ruling that blocked a bequest to an organization described in court documents as a white-supremacist group.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/02/27/south-africa-white-genocide-claim/ |
Not surprising that things were not as presented by Trump. It's not like Trump ever stops to check out the details and accuracy of what he's told. Musk told him white people were being persecuted in South Africa and Trump accepted it and then took the additional step of signaling openness to having white South Africans migrate to the US. |
A bunch of anchor babies from Europe who invaded Africa. |
this video clip is hilarious - a true "leopard eating face" moment for the un-self aware magas! trump loves white immigrants: ivanka (before he r-ped her), melania, elon musk, etc. |
It has been suggested elsewhere that Black South Africans come to the USA to be resettled under this. Simply SAY that you are white. Your case will have to go to the courts. The judges would cringe at taking it on. It could force a clarification in the rules that could get ugly. |
