- South Africa's Police Minister Senzo Mchunu rejected Trump's allegations, stating the video Trump played of white crosses was a temporary memorial from 2020 and did not mark graves.
- Statistics show six farm homicides in early 2025, with only one white victim, amid over 5,700 homicides nationwide, contradicting Trump's claim of 'thousands' of murdered white farmers.
- John Bolton and South African authorities agree that no evidence supports claims of a government-backed campaign targeting white farmers, highlighting South Africa's broader high crime rates across racial and geographic lines.
