I will look at your links, since you can't be bothered to briefly set out in your post what they say.

This subject is new to me, and whether what happened was a misrepresentation or not, there is a problem in S A. My brother lived there for several years and described a stretch of road that he was scared to drive along because of black yobs. His work there was for the benefit of black people, btw.

I've read a lot of comments on YouTube by white South Africans saying that Trump was right.

Apparently the song being chanted on the video is legal in SA. As is the expropriation of land for public use. Trump's point, as I understand it, was that the US has a lot of white South African refugees due to violence against them.
Trump said there was white genocide and used lies to present that. The white South Africans are currently the only refugees that the Trump govt is welcoming. There are problems in South Africa about its crime rate. That isn't the case that Trump made.

Fair enough, I'm not denying that he said inaccurate things. I also think his stance on Israel-Palestine is wrong. That chant by Julius Malema was concerning though.

He lied in other words, creating more danger for more people,  and he's the President of the US. Malema is a minor party leader.
