Afrikaner Man in US Criticizes Johann Rupert After Trump-Ramaphosa Meeting
Afrikaner Man in U.S. Calls Johan Rupert a “Traitor” After Trump-Ramaphosa Meeting
A viral video shared by content creator @oj_isaacs shows an angry Afrikaner man living in America lashing out at South African billionaire Johan Rupert, calling him a “traitor” for allegedly failing to defend white South Africans. The outburst came after Rupert attended the controversial May 21 meeting between Donald Trump and Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House.
The Accusation
In the clip, the man angrily claims Rupert has “stabbed Afrikaans people in the back for years,” contrasting his own life in America—where he says he sleeps with “unlocked doors” without security—with Rupert’s reliance on wealth and protection.
“Hey Johann, I sleep with doors unlocked in America. The difference? I have a backbone—I’m not a traitor.”
What Sparked the Backlash?
The tension stems from Trump’s confrontational approach during the meeting, where he falsely claimed “white genocide” in South Africa, showing misleading footage of roadside crosses (from a 2020 protest, not actual graves).
Rupert, part of the SA delegation, shifted focus to broader crime issues, urging U.S. tech support (like Starlink and drones) to combat poverty and illegal immigration—a stance critics see as ignoring racial tensions.

Why Some Call Rupert a “Sellout”
- Perceived ANC ties: Critics accuse Rupert of prioritizing business over his community due to his ANC-linked investments.
- Farm attacks debate: Some white South Africans believe he downplays targeted violence against farmers.
Broader Divide
The video reflects deepening frustrations among some expat Afrikaners who feel abandoned by SA’s elite. Meanwhile, Rupert’s supporters argue his economic-focused approach is pragmatic.
