South African genocide conspiracy

{{Conspiracy}}{{Race}}
The '''South African [[genocide conspiracy]]''' is a complex [[conspiracy theory]] claiming that the [[white people]] in [[South Africa]] will be the target of a [[genocide]] campaign.

==Background==
Since European colonization, centuries before the 20th-century [[apartheid]] era in South Africa, white people have owned most of the land and wealth in South Africa. In the very diverse anti-apartheid movement, there were indeed some [[racist]] expressions directed against white people.

Post-apartheid South Africa has its challenges. A generally high crime rate and [[South African farm attacks | farm attacks]], as well as corruption within the [[African National Congress]], have brought attention. [[White supremacist]]s and the white minority have jumped to the conclusion that there is an ongoing campaign to persecute white people from South Africa.

South African politician {{wpl|Julius Malema}} didn't help matters by clarifying that he is not calling for white people to be killed "for now".<ref>[https://businesstech.co.za/news/government/142570/malema-doesnt-want-to-slaughter-white-people-in-south-africa-for-now/ Malema doesn’t want to slaughter white people in South Africa – “for now”]</ref>

==Articles on the alleged conspiracy==
In 2004, [[World Net Daily]] ran an article by [[Joseph Farah]] entitled "White Slaughter in South Africa?". Citing unspecified "G2B sources", the article claimed that the South African Communist Party was planning to murder all whites in the country upon the death of [[Nelson Mandela]]; Farah went on to claim that these plans were known variously as "Operation Vula", "Night of the Long Knives", "Operation White Clean-up", "Operation Iron Eagle", "Red October campaign", and "Operation Uhuru" (''uhuru'' being the Swahili{{efn|A language not even spoken in South Africa.}} word for "freedom") and would involve such events as 70,000 armed black men being transported to the centre of Johannesburg in taxi cabs, ready to kill white people.<ref>http://www.wnd.com/2004/02/23169/</ref>

Farah's article touched a nerve amongst white nationalists. [[Sarah Maid of Albion|Sarah "Maid of Albion" Davies]], a pro-[[British National Party]] blogger, wrote a post entitled "The Deadly Dream of Uhuru" that expands upon Farah's piece, using much the same information from the "G2B sources". Davies began her argument by citing the atrocities of the Mau Mau rebels, using this as evidence that black South Africans would commit similar murders after the death of Mandela (or "when that most beatified of retired terrorists has his final meeting with Beelzebub", as she put it).

Because the [[WND]] article at one point uses the word ''uhuru'' in connection with the plans, Davies appears to have taken any instance of the term as a codeword for [[white genocide]] — even implicating singer {{wpl|Miriam Makeba}} ("the liberal's favourite ethnic songbird", apparently) for releasing a song entitled "Not Yet Uhuru". Bizarrely, she ended by suggesting that black Americans might also go on a murderous anti-white rampage should [[Barack Obama]] ever be impeached.<ref>http://sarahmaidofalbion.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/deadly-dream-of-uhuru.html</ref><ref>http://fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=95354</ref>

Mandela died in 2013, but genocide has yet to occur.{{nofact}}

==Judicial ruling==
In a 2025 South African court hearing over disposition of the inheritance of an estate by the racist [[militia]] Boerelegioen, judge Rosheni Allie ruled that white genocide was "clearly imagined and not real" and that the deceased intent that the funds be used for the extermination of black South Africans was illegal and therefore invalid.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyj1198wy3o Claims of white genocide 'not real', South African court rules] by Khanyisile Ngcobo (February 25, 2025) ''BBC''.</ref>

==Endorsement by the second Trump administration==
However, in spite of all of the evidence that this was indeed nothing but a racist conspiracy theory, in 2025, [[Donald Trump]]’s second administration decided to extend refugee status to white South Africans,<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crljn5046epo Dozens of white South Africans arrive in US under Trump refugee plan] by Nomia Iqbal, Cecilia Macaulay & Brandon Drenon (May 12, 2025) ''BBC''</ref> and to <u>white</u> South Africans only(!), thus making them the exception to the key Trump policy that had otherwise brought a complete halt to refugees and other asylum seekers being allowed into the US.
