Summary
Trump proposed offering refugee status and U.S. resettlement for white South Africans amid alleged oppression and rights abuses, claiming protection for Afrikaners.
Leading Afrikaner organizations, including Solidarity and AfriForum, rejected Trump’s offer, stating their commitment to remain in South Africa and build a future locally.
The U.S. executive order cut aid to South Africa and accused its government of enabling attacks and enforcing a law seizing white-owned farmland.
South Africa’s officials dismissed Trump’s claims as misinformation, noting that Afrikaners remain economically privileged and integral to the nation’s recovery from apartheid.
I just don’t understand why they don’t want to go. Don’t they want to pay for health insurance?!
Hate to tell you this, but state health services in SA can be pretty shocking. You’re better off with the hideously expensive private health insurance companies over there…
Nothing like the cost of healthcare in America, but not exactly socialized medicine like in Europe either :(
Of that I have no doubt. Still better than what they would have to deal with in the U.S.
Agreed.
