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”.

In February, Trump described Afrikaners as victims of “racial discrimination” in an executive order, opening up the prospect for them to resettle in the US.

there’s mention in the article that the RSA govt is objecting because it suspects some of these people are running from criminal charges, classic

    lmao this is one of these things that’s so fucked up I can’t help but laugh

    I actually think it’s a great plan, put enough Boers in the US and the racism level will go so high you’ll cause an integer overflow and it’ll wrap back around to -255, thus creating a racial justice utopia. Hell, just imagine what it would be like when a casual Amerikkkan racist meets a full-time pro major league racist from South Africa. It boggles the mind.
