On 12 May, 59 Afrikaners arrived in Washington to receive 鈥渞efugee鈥� status.
At a press conference, President Trump said he had acted because Afrikaners - the white minority community that ruled South Africa during apartheid - face an existential threat.
His words echoed the views of his South African born former advisor, Elon Musk who has repeatedly used his X platform to amplify false claims of a 鈥渨hite genocide鈥�.
Many South Africans, including several Afrikaners that we鈥檝e spoken to, dismiss the idea that they are under attack as wild misinformation.
So where does the idea that white South Africans are being uniquely targeted come from? And what impact is it having on the diplomatic relationship between the White House and Pretoria?
