Cyril Ramaphosa spoke with Elon Musk a day after the new U.S. President promised to cut funding for South Africa. The land law is contentious because it gives the government scope to expropriate land from private parties. Trump announced Sunday that he would stop financial assistance. Musk has long criticized the government in his homeland as anti-white. South Africa has the highest number of people living with HIV in the world at more than 8 million, with around 5.5 million on antiretroviral medication. The U.S. Funds around 17% of South Africa's HIV program through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR. South Africa hoped to have more engagements with the Trump administration at various levels. The last land audit in South Africa estimated that whites — who make up 7% of the population of 62 million — own around 70% of land. In addition to the land law, Musk has criticized its affirmative action policies and has falsely claimed that the killings of some white farmers amount to “genocide” The killings have been condemned but experts say they are part of South Africa’s appallingly high levels of violent crime.
