Donald Trump says South Africa is "confiscating land" and "certain classes of people" are being treated "very badly" President Cyril Ramaphosa says the government had not confiscated any land.

South Africa signed a bill last month to make it easier for the state to expropriate land in the public interest.

The question of land reform is highly politically charged in South Africa due to the legacy of the colonial and apartheid eras.
