PRETORIA<\/strong> – Washington’s preferential treatment of white Afrikaners for resettlement into the United States is “apartheid 2.0”, South Africa’s foreign minister said Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “refugee programme is preferential treatment of Afrikaners in South Africa to enter the US”, Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola said at a press briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And you know, with our history… preferential treatment of a particular privileged group, the Afrikaners, who are not running away from any genocide in this country, is definitely apartheid 2.0,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A first group of around 50 Afrikaners – descendants of the first European settlers of South Africa – were flown to the United States on a chartered plane in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others have reportedly followed in smaller numbers and on regular commercial flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mainly Afrikaner-led governments imposed the race-based apartheid system that denied South Africa’s black majority political and economic rights until it was voted out in the first all-race election in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump essentially halted refugee arrivals after taking office in January, but has made an exception for the Afrikaners despite Pretoria’s insistence that they do not face persecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The United States is reportedly applying for visas for around 30 people from a Christian NGO based in Kenya to come to South Africa to fast-track the processing of Afrikaner applications for resettlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There is no obligation, no duty for the South African government to assist the US government with this refugee programme,” Lamola said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
