First white South African ‘refugees’ arrive in the US • FRANCE 24 English

A plane carrying a group of 49 Afrikaners, whom the Trump administration has granted refugee status, has touched down in the US. The flight comes in the wake of an executive order issued by President Donald Trump in February, which claims that these white South Africans face discrimination.

  6. Come on, guys, the whole world knows that those white people are not refugees. I don't know what to call them. Glory to South Africa 🇿🇦 from Bloemfontein.

  17. Its fascinating how many people believe you need certain concentration of melanin in your skin to claim refugee status 🙂

  19. Oh, good, more entitled white supremacists, just what the US needs. They are the only ones left who will vote for that orange monstrosity. I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

  21. I remember these farmers from years ago. In the beginning the farms were run by locals. There was an issue that the people who ran the farms could not maintain the fields. So to maintain the farms white farmers who were experienced in farming took over, hired locals to work the crops and were paid good wages. In the end these farms inherited good crops. Years later now that the locals and government no the ins and outs, of farming the white farmers were forced off the lands.

  24. It’s beautiful to see these people finally live freely in the United States. They are hard working, industrious, and share our values. Welcome to your new home!

  29. Martin Luther King said to judge people "by the content of their character, not by the colour of their skin ……"…..

  33. I really hope it works out well for those who decide to leave South Africa and make a new start in another country. It would be very difficult for me to leave South Africa, because this is the place I call home. However, it is true, farm attraction does happen, and if it had happened to me, I most certainly would also consider leaving. I find it so sad to see our country deteriorating. We all grew up here, and most South Africans want to be proud of our country, but watching the news and listening to my friends in Mitchells Plain and Khayelitsha, how everyone is suffering under the incompetence and corrupt government (including the new government of national unity) how can we blame anybody that doesn't see any hope.

    All that is left to do is pray. We need to pray for a miracle. Pray that God will remove the corrupt officials in the government and local governments. I also pray for Charl and the other Afrikaners who left, that the Lord would bless them in their lives. I believe that we can make our plans, but the Lord God Jesus Christ will let his plan for our lives prevail. The Afrikaners that has left are not bad people, they are just Christians who lost hope in South Africa.

    Mag die Here julle seen, die pad vir julle voorspoedig maak en julle beskerm in Amerika. Gaan dan uit en verkondig die liefde en goeie nuus van Jesus Christus aan almal wat julle wie ontmoet.

  34. We C U
    PLAN: Throw The Rock… Hide The Hand.
    Atlanta 2 KZ
    Louisiana Plantation Fire
    Wyt South Africans
    GOAL: MARTIAL LAW, BLACK COMMUNITIES.
    It’s CHESS…Not MESS
    Pass it On.

  35. 140 racial laws in SA against whites. Pres. Trump is well informed what is happening in South Africa and will not fall for Ramaphosa's lies.
