Reports say the first set of white South Africans could arrive in the US next week.

South Africa has criticised the US as reports emerge suggesting Washington could receive white Afrikaners as refugees as early as next week.

A document seen by the BBC’s US partner CBS describes the potential resettlement as a “priority” for President Donald Trump’s government, however the timing has not been publicly confirmed by the White House.

In a statement published on Friday, South Africa’s foreign ministry described the purported move as “politically motivated” and designed to undermine South Africa’s “constitutional democracy”.

    I assume they aren’t going to be handed a huge plot of land to farm with.

    Bold assumption.

      Yeah…

      What I’m trying to get at is they’re fleeing from a problem they collectively hallucinated

      They’re going to arrive in America and face actual problems
