Madjozi’s comments followed Afriforum’s response to US President Donald Trump 's claims about land confiscations in SA.In a slew of tweets, South African pop artist Maya ‘Sho Madjozi’ Wegerif has accused right-wing lobby group AfriForum of being manipulated by Elon Musk in his bid to launch his Starlink company in Mzansi.
On Sunday, Trump accused the South African government of “confiscating land” and treating “certain classes of people” badly, and because of this, Trump said he would be cutting funding the US provides South Africa.“South Africa is a constitutional democracy that is deeply rooted in the rule of law, justice and equality.
