Trevor Noah under fire for silence on SA genocide claims amid US political storm

Trevor Noah is facing growing criticism online as fans question his silence on the heated discussions between the United States and South Africa over claims of an alleged genocide.

As the conversation gains momentum globally, some social media users are calling on the US-based comedian to break his silence and use his platform to correct what many believe is dangerous misinformation.

The debate was sparked by the recent visit of President Cyril Ramaphosa and his delegation to the U.S., during which they reportedly addressed concerns following a wave of reports and political rhetoric surrounding white South African “refugees” seeking asylum in the U.S.

These developments, coupled with online narratives about so-called genocide, have left many demanding clarification from influential South African voices like Noah.

One user on X, formerly Twitter, voiced their frustration: “Hasn’t said a single word about all the misinformation being spread. They have you, don’t they?”

The post quickly gained traction, echoing a growing sentiment among those who believe that Noah’s global reach could be instrumental in dismantling misleading narratives.

However, the backlash is not unanimous. While some fans urge him to speak out, others argue that entertainers shouldn’t be expected to comment on every political controversy.
