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 just don’t know what they expect will happen when they get to the USA.
I assume they aren’t going to be handed a huge plot of land to farm with.
Aren’t they privatizing public land?

Bold assumption.
S. Dak seems intentionally ripened for the picking in this realm. SA custom harvesters already crawl the countryside. SD is one of the only places in the world where trusts can exist in perpetuity. Add to that recent and highly suspect legislative changes in state law and, well…
More eyes should be on SD.
I was thinking about the rural pnw and nw in general.
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
i remember learning about discrimination types, when i got to overt i was like that never happens anymore, it’s always concealed, but republicans don’t care don’t they?
Just the fact that you were learning about it means you were probably not in an area where people are overtly racist. It absolutely still happens.
it was at institutional level, working for a bank, we don’t do whites only loans anymore, but at personal level of course overt discrimination happens often
