The Trump Administration’s Heroic Work in South Africa
11th November 2026
The administration’s actions in South Africa are hugely significant because defending the rights of white South Africans is the linchpin of pushing back against anti-white policies worldwide. No group of whites in the world has received less sympathy—and arguably, since they voluntarily relinquished political power to the black majority in 1994, no group of whites has suffered as severely.
After 32 years of ANC governance, South Africa today features rolling blackouts in some of its largest cities. The ANC inherited Eskom, which was one of the world’s best power companies, and proceeded to loot it. When I visited the country’s largest bookstore in Johannesburg, only a humming generator kept the flickering lights on. South Africa’s water supply has also become inconsistent. Cape Town, South Africa’s tourist capital, almost became the first major world city to run out of water a few years back. Johannesburg, once the most advanced city on the African continent, saw its water delivery almost completely collapse just days before the elections.
South Africa also suffers from sky-high crime. Several South African cities are regularly ranked among the world’s most dangerous, and anyone with anything worth protecting relies on a substantial private security force that dwarfs the combined numbers of army and police personnel. Corruption is rampant, as is the looting of companies by the politically connected. So-called Black Economic Empowerment (BEE), which is designed in theory to spread more of South Africa’s wealth broadly, has unsurprisingly benefited only those who are allied with the regime. And the country’s borders are wide open to illegal immigration, which has become an increasingly potent issue in South African domestic politics.
