JOHANNESBURG – In a sharp rebuke of a controversial unilateral decision from the outgoing Trump administration, South Africa’s national government and leading advocacy groups representing the country’s Afrikaner white minority have publicly rejected the claim that a humanitarian emergency endangers white South Africans. The baseless assertion formed the core legal and political rationale for the Trump White House to adjust the nation’s annual refugee quota, adding 10,000 exclusive slots for white Afrikaners while effectively closing the program to qualifying applicants from all other countries.
