Washington’s preferential treatment of white Afrikaners for resettlement into the United States is “apartheid 2.0”, South Africa’s foreign minister said. US President Donald Trump’s administration in May offered refugee status to the minority white Afrikaner community, claiming they were victims of discrimination and even “genocide”, which the Pretoria government strongly denies. The “refugee programme is preferential treatment of Afrikaners in South Africa to enter the US”, Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola said at a press briefing on Wednesday.
