‘I didn’t come here for fun’ – Afrikaner defends refugee status in US

Last week, 46-year-old Charl Kleinhaus was living on his family farm in Mpumalanga province, South Africa. With its scenic beauty, wildlife and deep canyons, it’s known as “the place where the sun rises”.

His new home – for now – is a budget hotel near an American highway.

He and dozens of other white South Africans were moved to the US under President Donald Trump’s controversial policy to protect them from the discrimination he alleges they are facing – an accusation that South Africa rejects.

A harmless ditty, a sort of Negro Spiritual we’re told.

The Plight of the Afrikaners Is a Clarifying Moment for Western Civilization

The Left is crying with rage.

This week, President Donald Trump generated a significant amount of attention by focusing on something the world has abjectly refused to focus on for the past 30 years or so.

Namely, that South Africa has devolved into a hellish failed state run by gangsters, and the primary victims of this devolution are the descendants of the people who established civilization there.

White South Africans going to US are cowards, Ramaphosa says

President Cyril Ramaphosa has called a group of 59 white South Africans who have moved to the US to resettle “cowards”, saying “they’ll be back soon”.

The group of Afrikaners arrived in the US on Monday after President Donald Trump granted them refugee status, saying they faced racial discrimination.

But Ramaphosa said those who wanted to leave were not happy with efforts to address the inequities of the apartheid past, terming their relocation a “sad moment for them”.

Democrats: Millions of illegal aliens are good, handful of South African refugees are bad

Several dozen white South African refugees were recently welcomed to Washington, D.C., most proudly waving American flags.

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and Department of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar welcomed the refugees, who are fleeing racial discrimination, persecution, violence, and murder in their home country.

Trump grants ‘persecuted’ white South Africans refugee status

The first white South Africans to be granted refugee status by President Trump are set to arrive in the US next week.

More than 50 Afrikaners, descendants of mainly Dutch colonisers, are expected to arrive at Washington’s Dulles airport as early as Monday. The group have been granted P1 refugee status, which, according to the US State Department, is given to individual cases “by virtue of their circumstances and apparent need for resettlement”, sources said.

The white Afrikaners lining up to accept Trump’s offer of asylum

Witkruis or Plaasmoorde Monument South Africa

Kyle believed God was looking out for him when he survived a violent farm robbery in South Africa eight years ago with only a black eye and broken ribs. The robbers failed to get the kettle and iron working, so were unable to burn anyone. Then the gun trigger jammed when they tried to shoot Kyle in the spine.

“They specifically said they were coming back for this farm … [that] it was their land,” said the 43-year-old, who did not want to use his full name. “Only afterwards, we found out that the guy that stays on the plot was actually killed … the farmhand … I don’t know what his name was.”

Kyle, a divorced father of three, is one of thousands of white South Africans hoping to take up Donald Trump’s offer of refugee status, to escape crime and what they allege is discrimination against white people.

Racially charged row between Musk and South Africa over Starlink

The tussle between Starlink boss Elon Musk and South Africa over the company’s failure to launch in the country stems from the nation’s black empowerment laws, and could be one factor behind the diplomatic row between the US and Africa’s most industrialised nation.

To his more than 219 million followers on his social media platform X, Mr Musk made the racially charged claim that his satellite internet service provider was “not allowed to operate in South Africa simply because I’m not black“.

But the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) – a regulatory body in the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors – told the BBC that Starlink had never submitted an application for a licence.

Almost 70,000 South Africans interested in US asylum

Close to 70,000 South Africans have expressed interest in moving to the US following Washington’s offer to resettle people from the country’s Afrikaner community, a business group has said.

The South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA (Saccusa) said its website received tens of thousands of registrations from those seeking more information.

In a February executive order, President Donald Trump said Afrikaners – descendants of mainly Dutch settlers who arrived in the 17th Century – could be admitted as refugees as they were “victims of unjust racial discrimination”.

US expels South Africa’s ambassador, saying he hates Trump

South Africa

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said South Africa’s ambassador to Washington is “no longer welcome” in the United States.

Rubio, in a post to X, also accused diplomat Ebrahim Rasool of being a “race-baiting politician” who hated US President Donald Trump.

In his post, Rubio linked to an article from the conservative US media outlet Breitbart, which commented on remarks Rasool made Friday during a South African think tank’s webinar.

According to Breitbart, Rasool said that white supremacism was motivating Trump’s “disrespect” for the “current hegemonic order” of the world.

South Africa and Its Disastrous Battle for the Congo

“Nearly 3,000 people have been killed in Goma in recent days” reported Vivian van de Perre, Deputy Head of the UN mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in central Africa. Goma is the capital and largest city of the DRC’s North Kivu Province.

In the final week of January, 17 South African National Defence Force (SANDF) soldiers in the Congo were killed, and many more wounded, in battle with the rebel group M23 (which is backed by Rwanda), when the M23 captured Goma from DRC government’s forces. It is believed that “M23 seeks to set up an administration to govern Goma as it has in other areas under its control in the eastern DRC.”

From Murdered White Farmers to ‘Racially Disfavored Landowners’: Why Trump and Musk Are Targeting South Africa

In October 2016, heavily pregnant Mariandra Heunis was putting her youngest to bed in their remote South African farmhouse when she heard the chilling sound of a gun cocking. Turning around, she saw two intruders standing before her.

“They started shouting aggressively; my husband woke up. They demanded money, to which we, in turn, responded that we don’t have money and do not have money in the house, but they could take whatever they want if they just leave us unharmed,” Ms. Heunis, who, like the rest of her family, is white, told me when I interviewed her in 2018. “But he just started shooting. I was terrified. I couldn’t stop the bullets.”

Anti-white propagandists spread disinformation to spur race wars in South Africa

Rhodesia was known as being “more British than Britain” and was a thriving state amidst a continent of failed nations; it had a highly developed economy, and citizens enjoyed a very high standard of living. But, that all changed when the black majority wrested political control from the white minority, seized white-owned property (specifically the farms), and Rhodesia became Zimbabwe—it’s been a third world hell-hole with “severe food insecurity” and high levels of violence ever since.

Trump orders South Africa aid freeze, will announce refugee resettlement program for white South African farmers

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday formalizing his announcement earlier this week that he’ll freeze assistance to South Africa for a law aiming to address some of the wrongs of South Africa’s racist apartheid era — a law the White House says amounts to discrimination against the country’s white minority.

“As long as South Africa continues to support bad actors on the world stage and allows violent attacks on innocent disfavored minority farmers, the United States will stop aid and assistance to the country,” the White House said in a summary of the order.

Why are Canadian tax dollars given to a racist “middle income” country?

South Africa is an upper middle income country. In 2022-2023, Canada provided $88.6 million in international assistance to South Africa, with approximately $5.0 million of this amount channelled to Canada’s dedicated bilateral assistance program focused on two Feminist International Assistance Policy action areas: inclusive governance and empowerment of women and girls.
