Witkruis Monument Is Propaganda That Portrays Non-Existent Genocide

Joint Media Statement

By Mayibuye Melisizwe Mandela and The Progressive Forces of South Africa

We are in Mokopane, Limpopo, at the so-called “Donald Trump Genocide Site”, officially called the Witkruis Monument (Plaasmoorde Monument).

This private hillside memorial claims to honor white farmers and their families allegedly killed in farm attacks since 1994.

According to those behind it, each cross represents a murdered farmer.

After spending over an hour on this farm, it is clear that this is a fabrication.

There are no graves, only crosses planted to create a false narrative.

This monument is not a memorial of truth.

It is a propaganda stunt designed to exaggerate and manipulate.

It portrays a genocide that does not exist while completely ignoring the broader reality.

Black farmers and workers also suffer violence, often for robbery or other motives, yet their experiences are erased in this narrative.

By focusing solely on white victims, this site spreads lies, fuels division, and distracts from the real social and economic crises facing rural South Africa.

We reject this distortion of history.

We expose the lies.

We call on all South Africans to confront false narratives and demand honesty, justice, and a full recognition of all victims, regardless of race.

Truth matters.

Propaganda will not stand.

We will forever live to tell truth about South African stories in a South African manner.
