CNN correspondent Larry Madowo exposes new death threats in explosive emails
CNN international correspondent Larry Madowo has once again shared the negative feedback he has been receiving since reporting on the White House meeting between United States President Donald Trump and his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa.
This comes just a few days after the renowned journalist opened up about receiving racist reactions for his breakdown on the matter.
In this case, however, a complainant emailed Madowo, urging him to end his life and once again calling him a propagandist.
According to Madowo, all these reactions he was receiving were because he debunked most claims President Trump made about the existence of white genocide in South Africa.
“I fact-checked the ‘white genocide’ claims on CNN. Then came the racist hate mail…This person created a new email address just to be racist to me. I admire the commitment,” he wrote.
True to form, the sender of the email also used the n-word while referring to the journalist and wished cancer on his life, further threatening that it would be a long four years.
Hours after covering the story on Thursday, Madowo highlighted one such message, sharing the screenshot, which featured several insulting names of a racist nature.
“I got some racist reactions to my reporting on the Trump-Ramaphosa meeting, but this was my favourite… Lots of big words when he could have just called me the n-word and kept it moving,” he quipped.

The two presidents’ interaction that captured the world’s attention was the second of its kind, where President Trump ambushed another President, just months after meeting Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky was put in a similar position.
In his analysis of the latest interaction, Madowo revealed that intensive research by several experts had not backed most of Trump’s accusations that White people were facing persecution in South Africa.
“Violent crime is a real issue in South Africa. Between April and December 2024, there were almost 20,000 murders in South Africa. What percentage of those murders were actual farm murders was 0.2 percent, so across the board, there were only 36 farm murders in South Africa,” Larry reported on Thursday morning.
“Everyone is a tragedy, but out of those 36, only seven were farmers. Farmers tend to be white in South Africa, and black people tend to be black on these farms.”
