According to Jaco Kleynhans, head of Public Relations for trade union Solidarity, the group which includes families, are part of 8 000 applicants who will be resettled within the next few months.

They follow the first 49 white South African Afrikaners, who arrived last month, which has sparked backlash in Mzansi and in the US.

Kleynhans said the second group departed on a commercial flight on Thursday that landed in Atlanta in the US on Friday.
