The South African government has criticised the US's decision to prioritise refugee applications from white Afrikaners, saying claims of a white genocide have been widely discredited and lack reliable evidence.
It highlighted an open letter published by prominent members of the Afrikaner community earlier this week rejecting the narrative, with some signatories calling the relocation scheme racist.
The limited number of white South African Afrikaners signing up to relocate to the US was indication that they were not being persecuted, it added.
On Thursday, the administration of US President Donald Trump announced its lowest refugee annual cap on record - to just 7,500.
The exact figures of the number of white South Africans who have been admitted through the US scheme are not available.
South Africa's latest crime statistics do not indicate that more white people have fallen victim to violent crime than other racial groups.
Earlier this year President Trump offered refugee status to Afrikaners - who are mostly descendants of Dutch and French settlers - after South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed a law allowing the government to seize land without compensation in rare instances.
Most private farmland is owned by white South Africans who make up just over 7% of the population.
Several months ago, South Africa's ambassador to Washington, Ebrahim Rasool, was expelled after accusing Trump of "mobilising a supremacism" and trying to "project white victimhood as a dog whistle".
In the Oval Office in May, Trump confronted South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa and claimed white farmers in his nation were being killed and "persecuted".
President Trump held up a photo purporting to...

“Excuse me, I’m looking for a girl named Natasha.
Is this the Booty residence?”
In other words, according to the South African government, because the level of persecution hasn’t escalated to a genocide quite yet, South Africa’s whites are supposed to just sit back, ignore the writing on the wall, and wait for the ANC to go full Mugabe on them.
“saying claims of a white genocide have been widely discredited and lack reliable evidence”
We have investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing.
Mayeni Jones, Bernd Debusmann Jr, Natasha Booty didn’t get the memo. Will somebody please tell them that 60% of the world is no longer moved by their bullshit abuse of the word “racist”.
“Most private farmland is owned by white South Africans who make up just over 7% of the population.”
That is revealing. Why haven’t black Africans bought more farms?
One would think at least some of the white farmers would have sold their property to blacks rather than have it confiscated and be slaughtered.
“Most private farmland is owned by white South Africans who make up just over 7% of the population.”
This reminds me of advertisers in white majority nations except 93” of the population is black.
“Mandela’s Paradise”
The White Afrikaners who wish to immigrate to the USA should be allowed to do so.
All the White cannibals and Black cannibals in South Africa cannot come here. They can rot in their African utopia.
Wow, two utterly believable ‘nuze’ sources: The corrupt, inept, and third-world South African Gubmit, and the BBC.
Rely on them for ‘nuze’ about everything.
Of course the government of South Africa is upset. If we make it easy for the white Afrikaners to leave ... the tribal types who remain will be starving and living in hovels in no time.
Then they’ll all come to the U.S. too, as soon as the next democrat president declares a humanitarian emergency and opens the borders.
The history of Rhodesia/Zimbabwe would seem to make that a sure bet. *I* would certainly *not* bet against you!
BLACKS HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE LAND TO FARM FOR THEMSELVES BY THE POLITICIANS.

We need hard working farmers, we’ll take all who wish to come and be PRODUCTIVE!
Then they shouldn’t murder and steal the whites’ property, should they?
Why should they be driven off their land?
An unimpeachable source, no doubt.
When used as a reference to the Caucasian race, “White” is a proper noun and should be capitalized.
Unless you’re using the WOKE style guide.
Sternly worded letter, or pounding out tribal morse code on their battle drums?
