SA slams US refugee prioritisation for whites

November 03, 2025

PRETORIA last week Friday criticised a US decision to prioritise white South Africans as refugees accepted into the country, saying it was based on "widely discredited" claims of their persecution.

- AFP

The Trump administration announced last week Thursday it would cut its annual refugee quota to a record low of 7 500, with priority for whites from South Africa's Afrikaner community and "other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands".

Pretoria and Washington have been at loggerheads for months over US allegations that the post-apartheid government persecutes the minority white population, including widely rejected claims of a "white genocide".
