ReutersUS President Donald Trump granted refugee status to members of South Africa’s Afrikaner community, claiming a genocide is occurring there. Nearly 60 Afrikaners have arrived in the US after being allowed to apply for asylum from within South Africa. Despite Trump’s assertions, no South African political parties support the genocide claims, which stem from right-wing narratives about attacks on white farmers, while President Cyril Ramaphosa asserts that such claims are false and politically motivated.
