Trump says administration welcomed 59 white South Africans as refugees because of ‘genocide that’s taking place’

Quick Summary:

South Africa's government says the U.S.allegations that the white minority Afrikaners are being persecuted are "completely false.

South Africa has extremely high levels of violent crime, and white farmers have been killed in rural Afrikaner communities.

That characterization has been strongly disputed by South Africa's government, experts and even the Afrikaner group AfriForum, which says farm attacks are not being taken seriously by the government.
