Are white Afrikaner minorities really being targeted in South Africa?

Available for over a year

This week the first group of Afrikaners arrived in the United States, as part of President Donald Trump’s initiative to resettle them in his country. President Trump alleges that this ethnic group is being targeted. “It’s a genocide that’s taking place that you people don’t want to write about. But it’s a terrible thing that’s taking place, and white farmers are being brutally killed and their land is being confiscated in South Africa. And the newspapers and the media, television media doesn’t even talk about it”, he recently told reporters. But his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa hit back. “We are the only country on the continent where the colonizers came to stay and we have never driven them out of our country”. The latest developments come as the two heads of state are preparing to meet in the coming days, to discuss their political fallout. In this episode, Africa Daily’s Alan Kasujja attempts to find out if Afrikaners are really being persecuted in South Africa. Guests: AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel, AgriSA CEO Johann Kotze and political commentator Advocate Dwight Snyman
