US focuses on persecution claims as white South Africans seek resettlement
U.S. officials have interviewed white South Africans seeking refugee status about their troubles with land disputes, crime and perceived racism, while refugees from other countries are being deported or barred from the United States.
More than 30 white Afrikaners have already been approved by the US for refugee resettlement from South Africa.
White South Africans who have been interviewed by US officials say they seem sympathetic to their claims of persecution.
Great story by my former Reuters colleagues
