Trump wants to resettle white South Africans facing 'race-based discrimination'
Source: USA Today
President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order vowing to stop “aid and assistance” to South Africa over “human rights violations” including a land reform act which it said discriminated against white South Africans.
The order also says the U.S. will establish a plan to resettle "Afrikaners," white South Africans, generally of Dutch and Huguenot descent, and their families as refugees escaping "government-sponsored race-based discrimination." It comes after Trump signed an executive order suspending the United States Refugee Admission Program for 90 days on his first day in office.
In January, South Africa adopted the Expropriation Act to address the nation’s apartheid-era legacy of disparities in land ownership by allowing the government to seize property "in the public interest.” In some cases, it allows the state to take land without compensating the owner, such as when the property is abandoned or in derelict condition. Apartheid was a system of racial segregation under an all-white government that ruled South Africa from 1948 to 1994.
White landowners, who make up about 8% of the population, own three quarters of South Africa's farmland, while Black South Africans, who make up 80% of the population, own 4%, according to the country’s 2017 land audit.
