As South Africa Prepares to Seize Land from White Farmers, Zimbabwe Compensates Them.

PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: Zimbabwe’s government has distributed initial compensation payments to white farmers whose land was expropriated under the late dictator Robert Mugabe.

👥 Who’s Involved: The payments are directed to 378 farmers; the Zimbabwean government is undertaking the compensation.

📍 Where & When: The compensation process is part of a 2020 agreement; the payouts occur in Zimbabwe.

💬 Key Quote: “One of our commitments as we try to reform the Zimbabwe economy, to clear our arrears, is really to compensate the former farm owners who lost their farms during the land reform program. We have now begun to honor that agreement.” — Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube.

⚠️ Impact: The payments represent a step toward addressing past grievances but cover only a small fraction of the total compensation agreed upon.

IN FULL:

White farmers in Zimbabwe began receiving initial compensation for the land confiscated from them by the late dictator Robert Mugabe more than two decades ago. The authorities announced an initial disbursement of $2.9 million to cover the first 378 farmers approved for compensation.

This payout is part of a broader effort pledged in 2020 when Zimbabwe committed to compensating farmers with a $3.3 billion package for land taken during the seizures, in which whites were forcibly dispossessed and, in some cases, killed.

This initial allocation represents a modest fraction of the approximately $310 million total earmarked for compensation. Out of 740 eligible former farm owners, the distribution addresses the claims of a portion while others await further processing. Harry Orphanides, a representative for some of these farmers, disclosed that interest has grown among more landholders to participate in the compensation scheme.

The government directed compensation solely towards enhancements made on the expropriated properties, declining to account for the value of the land itself. The justification for this ties the land’s ownership to unjust acquisition by colonial powers.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa, succeeding Mugabe after a coup in 2017, is making this effort to mend relations with Western nations, with diplomatic ties strained by Zimbabwe’s previous land policies. The seizures also resulted in food production collapsing in the country and a significant economic crisis.

The move comes as neighboring South Africa is going in the opposite direction. The country is threatening to seize land from white South Africans without compensation, causing rocky relations between the government and the United States, where President Donald J. Trump has offered a pathway to citizenship for white farmers and their families.

Last month, the South African ambassador was dismissed by the White House after referring to President Trump as a white supremacist.

Two-Tier Police Block White Candidates In Name of Diversity.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: Police in the United Kingdom are actively discriminating against white candidates in a bid to improve diversity.

👥 Who’s Involved: West Yorkshire Police, white police candidates, ethnic minority police candidates.

📍 Where & When: West Yorkshire, England, documents alleged the practice has been ongoing since at least last year.

💬 Key Quote: “The use of hidden vacancies marked on the internal computer systems was intended to ensure nonwhite people apply. You can’t see these jobs online.” — West Yorkshire Police whistleblower.

⚠️ Impact: The case highlights yet another example of a public institution actively discriminating against white men in Britain.

IN FULL:

British police are actively preventing white men from joining in the name of diversity. West Yorkshire Police, one of the largest police forces in England, claims it felt that not enough Asians and black people were “represented” in the force.

“This feeds into a general theme where the pipeline for anyone white British is strangled, whilst anyone not white British is ushered through onto the next available stage,” a police whistleblower reported. West Yorkshire police have 19 dedicated staff dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), costing taxpayers the equivalent of over $1.29 million annually.

A police document from last year also reveals how white candidates were held back in the recruitment process until minority candidates were able to apply for the same roles. Some allege minority candidates were coached through the application process to make it more likely they would become officers.

Internally, West Yorkshire Police allegedly hide entry-level vacancies for new constables. This means that the jobs are only open to ethnic minorities initially and can only become available to white people later in the hiring process.

“The use of hidden vacancies marked on the internal computer systems was intended to ensure nonwhite people apply. You can’t see these jobs online. You can only know about them after you’ve been emailed by the Positive Action Team,” a former officer said.

White people not being wanted has become an increasingly common theme among British state institutions in recent years. The Royal Air Force (RAF) also discriminated against white men in its recruitment process, with leaked messages showing “useless white male pilots” were being denigrated.

‘Bad Place to Be’ — Trump Invites South Africa’s White Farmers to U.S., Promises ‘Rapid Pathway to Citizenship.’

President Donald J. Trump has invited white farmers and their families to leave South Africa for the United States, accusing the country’s far-left government of mistreating them terribly. “South Africa is being terrible, plus, to long time Farmers in the country. They are confiscating their LAND and FARMS, and MUCH WORSE THAN THAT,” he wrote.

The America First leader described South Africa as a “bad place to be right now,” noting that the U.S. is “stopping all Federal Funding.”

“To go a step further, any Farmer (with family!) from South Africa, seeking to flee that country for reasons of safety, will be invited into the United States of America with a rapid pathway to Citizenship,” he pledged, adding: “This process will begin immediately!”

The South African government recently passed so-called expropriation without compensation laws, allowing the state to seize land from white farmers to “promote inclusivity” in the agricultural sector, giving the former owners nothing in return. President Trump previously signed an executive order condemning the expropriation law and promising a robust response.

White-owned farmland was expropriated in neighboring Zimbabwe in the 2000s, with a number of white farmers and their families being injured or even killed during the seizures. This was soon followed by a collapse in food production and an economic depression.

New Trump Order Targets Law Firm Linked to Russia Dossier, Anti-Election Integrity Cases, and Anti-White Quotas.

President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order titled ‘Addressing Risks from Perkins Coie LLP,’ aiming to suspend security clearances for and curb federal interactions with the law firm due to anti-democratic activities and racial discrimination. It references Perkins Coie’s past work with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and its hiring of Fusion GPS, “which then manufactured a false ‘dossier’ designed to steal an election”—namely the Russia hoax Steele Dossier.

The order also accuses Perkins Coie of undermining democratic elections, for instance by “work[ing] with activist donors including George Soros to judicially overturn popular, necessary, and democratically enacted election laws, including those requiring voter identification.”

The order highlights Perkins Coie’s alleged racial discrimination, stating, “In addition to undermining democratic elections, the integrity of our courts, and honest law enforcement, Perkins Coie racially discriminates against its own attorneys and staff, and against applicants,” through “percentage quotas… for hiring and promotion on the basis of race and other categories prohibited by civil rights laws.”

“Within 30 days of the date of this order, all agencies shall submit to the Director of the Office of Management and Budget an assessment of contracts with Perkins Coie or with entities that do business with Perkins Coie,” the order directs, in addition to calling for “investigations into large law firms’ compliance with non-discrimination laws” and limits on “official access from Federal Government buildings to employees of Perkins Coie when such access would threaten the national security of or otherwise be inconsistent with the interests of the United States.”

Education Department Cuts $600M from DEI Teacher Training.

President Donald J. Trump‘s Department of Education is moving to enact significant cuts in the allocation of federal grants that are funding training programs for teachers focused on topics such as critical race theory, social justice activism, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Under the Biden government, these funds were allocated to organizations and nonprofit groups that work to educate teachers on how to push anti-racism and ‘deconstruct’ supposed white privilege and supremacy. Additionally, the grant money appears to have supported hiring practices emphasizing a candidate’s racial background.

Critics of these programs, such as Erika Sanzi from Parents Defending Education, argue that such training emphasizes race and gender as central criteria for assessing individuals, potentially leading to the integration of these ideas into classroom practices and policies.

“It’s hard to overstate how radical these teacher trainings are—we are talking about forcing teachers to talk about their race at work, asking educators to ‘take personal and institutional responsibility for systemic inequities,’ promoting abolitionist teaching practices and defining equity as equal outcomes,” Sanzi said in a statement, adding: “And not for nothing but all we see are declining outcomes for the students that these trainings purport to help most.”

The Department of Education, in announcing the cuts, noted the programs funded included materials encouraging educators to take responsibility for so-called systemic inequities such as racism, and providing professional development on cultural competence and dismantling racial biases. Additionally, the training sought to build an understanding of racial and sociopolitical histories to combat student marginalization.

These funding reductions are part of President Trump’s broader efforts to identify and cut government waste, fraud, and abuse. Additional recent cuts include $900 million from the Institute of Education Sciences and more than $350 million from Regional Educational Laboratories and Equity Assistance Centers.

Judge Blocking White House Spending Freeze Called Trump ‘Tyrant’ in 2021 Anti-White Tirade.

U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell—who issued an order blocking a move by President Donald J. Trump to freeze federal grant spending earlier this month— has been exposed as a far-left, anti-Trump radical in a recently resurfaced 2021 video. In the video, posted to YouTube, Judge McConnell can be seen going on an anti-white and anti-Trump tirade while being interviewed by Dr. Thomas López, the Head of School at the Gordon School—a politically progressive day school in Rhode Island.

Judge McConnell defends judicial lawfare aimed at hampering the efforts of the first Trump White House, comparing the America First leader’s policies to the Jim Crow laws. “So, why should you care? You should care because we’re the only things that stand in between an oppressive, arbitrary government and actions by individuals, or by the majority,” McConnell contends in the interview. He continues: “Oftentimes, I mean when we saw the Jim Crow laws and whatnot, where courts stand and enforce the rule of law against arbitrary and capricious actions by what could be a tyrant, or what we’ve seen plenty of examples of that recently. And it enforces our values.”

“Our values, in a legal sense, are the Constitution. It’s for that reason, and we saw there are plenty of examples of history, and there’s plenty of examples over the last four years where it’s the courts that kept that balloon from bursting when it was challenged,” the U.S. District Court Judge claimed.

ANTI-WHITE SENTENCING.

In another exchange with Dr. López, Judge McConnell appears to admit he engages in race-based sentencing policies that are purposefully biased against middle-class whites. “When you’re sentencing someone, you have to take a moment and realize that this middle-class, white, male, privileged person needs to understand the human being that comes before us,” McConnell says, continuing: “That may be a woman, may be black, may be transgender, may be poor, may be rich, may be whatever—may have experiences that are not yours.”

“And you have to walk in their shoes and understand that the law applies to them where they are. And then you have to apply the law accordingly,” the U.S. District Court Judge concludes.

DEI FOR JUDGES. 

Going further, Judge McConnell argues racial diversity should take precedence in judicial appointments. “President Obama had a great track record of ensuring racial diversity amongst the bench. President Trump, not so much,” he states. ” I don’t think he appointed a single person of color as a Court of Appeals judge and very few people to the district court.”

“So, I’m hoping that President Biden will prioritize racial diversity on the bench as well because if you don’t have a diversity of thought, then the courts aren’t going to work right,” Judge McConnell added, despite the fact that ethnic diversity is by no means synonymous with diversity of thought.

UK Health Secretary Admits Healthcare DEI Programs Promote ‘Anti-Whiteness.’

Britain’s far-left Labour government has admitted that DEI policies in the National Health Service (NHS) have an anti-white bias. Health Secretary Wes Streeting acknowledged that some diversity measures within the (NHS) have been counterproductive.

Streeting pointed to instances where actions taken in the name of equality, diversity, and inclusion were misdirected. He highlighted a case where an NHS staff member shared a job advertisement online, describing part of the role as involving “anti-whiteness.” Streeting questioned how such language might be perceived by the public, particularly those experiencing significant health inequalities linked to socio-economic status.

The Health Secretary indirectly referred to Dr. Florencia Gysbertha, an East London NHS psychologist, who last year circulated an advertisement for a trainee position emphasizing “anti-whiteness/anti-racist praxis.”

The NHS has faced previous criticism over issues of alleged anti-white sentiment. In 2021, the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, a leading purveyor or child gender transitions, hosted a seminar addressing “Whiteness – A problem for our time,” drawing international attention.

Further controversies arose when NHS emergency services were reported to prioritize asylum seekers and migrants over native Britons. Some migrants were able to jump healthcare lines while natives waited years for treatment.

Additionally, the NHS has been criticized for lowering entry standards for foreign nurses to address staffing shortages. Recently, it was revealed that 35 diversity roles, with salaries exceeding $99,500, have been advertised since July 2024 under the leftist Labour government.

President Trump Sanctions South Africa for Targeting White Minority, Backs Resettling Afrikaner Refugees.

President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order sanctioning the “egregious actions of the Republic of South Africa.” The South African government has passed legislation allowing it to seize white-owned farms without compensation.

“In shocking disregard of its citizens’ rights, the Republic of South Africa (South Africa) recently enacted Expropriation Act 13 of 2024 (Act), to enable the government of South Africa to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation,” the order states.

“In addition, South Africa has taken aggressive positions towards the United States and its allies, including accusing Israel, not Hamas, of genocide in the International Court of Justice, and reinvigorating its relations with Iran to develop commercial, military, and nuclear arrangements,” it continues.

President Trump’s order mandates that all aid and assistance to South Africa should be suspended, “to the maximum extent allowed by law”—although agency heads are given discretion to maintain some aid in exceptional circumstances.

Moreover, the order states that “the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation.”

“The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall take appropriate steps, consistent with law, to prioritize humanitarian relief, including admission and resettlement through the United States Refugee Admissions Program, for Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination,” it explains.

Afrikaners, sometimes referred to as Boers, are the primarily Dutch-descended people who account for the lion’s share of South Africa’s white minority. They have been present in the country since 1652 A.D.

White farmers in neighboring Zimbabwe had their lands seized, and were in some cases killed, in the 2000s. Food production promptly collapsed, leading to famine and a dramatic economic collapse.

Rubio Skipping G20 in Johannesburg: ‘South Africa Is Doing Very Bad Things.’

President Donald J. Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, says he will not attend the globalist G20 summit in November this year, which is set to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa. Rubio announced the decision late Wednesday, citing the South African government’s adoption of a bill authorizing the state to seize land belonging to white farmers without compensation.

“I will NOT attend the G20 summit in Johannesburg. South Africa is doing very bad things. Expropriating private property. Using G20 to promote ‘solidarity, equality, & sustainability.’ In other words: DEI and climate change,” Sec. Rubio wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The Trump administration’s chief diplomat continued: “My job is to advance America’s national interests, not waste taxpayer money or coddle anti-Americanism.”

In late January, South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa—of the African National Congress (ANC) party once led by Nelson Mandela—signed the land expropriation bill into law. In a statement, the South African leader defended the move, claiming the measure will be used to “expropriate land in the public interest for varied reasons,” including to “promote inclusivity and access to natural resources.”

Notably, most of South Africa’s farmers hail from the country’s white minority, with most being Dutch-descended Afrikaners. Similar expropriation measures enacted in neighboring Zimbabwe under its late dictator, Robert Mugabe, in the 2000s resulted in the murder of several of the country’s white farmers and a collapse in the country’s food production.

The National Pulse previously reported on President Donald J. Trump vowing to act if the South African government uses the law, stating he intends to cut off American aid until an investigation into the matter is completed. During his first term in office, Trump successfully intervened against an earlier attempt by South Africa to adopt a similar law.

VP Vance Clearly Explains How ‘DEI Regime’ Creates Danger in America’s Skies.

Vice President J.D. Vance has forcefully supported former President Donald J. Trump’s warning that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies contributed to a recent plane crash in Washington, D.C.

During an appearance on Fox News this weekend, Vance said that “DEI regime” policies have deterred capable white people from applying to become air traffic controllers.

“We have a massive shortage of air traffic controllers and, in fact, there have been a number of lawsuits from people who would like to become air traffic controllers against the Obama and Biden administrations, who basically said, ‘We were told not even to apply because of the color of our skin,’ because they were white people who wanted to be air traffic controllers, and under the DEI regime of the Biden administration, they weren’t welcome,” Vance explained.

Trump criticized the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) diversity-obsessed hiring practices following the crash. In particular, he highlighted the FAA going out of its way to recruit employees with “severe intellectual disability” and “psychiatric disability,” alongside people with a range of physical ailments such as epilepsy and complete or partial paralysis.

The agency has been involved in a class-action lawsuit concerning its recruitment methods.

Vance says the “scandal” of discriminating against potential recruits based on their race “thankfully… has stopped under the leadership of President Trump.”
