Episode 11: White Houses

This episode focuses on a single subject: the meaning behind the made-for-TV spectacle of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s visit to Washington, D.C., aimed at "resetting" the country’s relationship with the United States. Central to this effort is countering the fake news narrative that black South Africans are deliberately targeting and murdering white farmers because of their race—a claim fueled by intense lobbying from white right-wing South African groups and amplified by figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk (via X).
