"To claim they are fleeing "transformation" while citing "justice" and "accountability for historic privilege" is terrifyingly Orwellian. Everyone knows exactly what that means, which is the continued ethnic cleansing that has been endorsed by South Africa's ruling party. "I am having trouble connecting the headline of this thread with the document posted.
The headline seems to imply that the ANC is trying to engage in ethnic cleansing.
The document posted is critical of the choice of a group of South Africans to accept refugee status in the United States and leave their country forever.
Now, if the ANC wanted to engage in ethnic cleansing why would they be critical of people leaving the country? If their goal is getting rid of these folks, why are they not happy that the American policy is doing it for them?

Is South Africa safe? Like any place in the world, it depends on where you, the time of day (or night), how you're dressed, how you act, etc. There are many places in the US which are more dangerous than many places in South Africa.
I've been to virtually every province of South Africa, mostly in rural areas, but a few cities and towns as well. I have a number of friends there as well. I have never felt particularly unsafe, and they've told me they don't feel particularly unsafe. This doesn't mean that there aren't people who would target farmers in rural areas, but I don't think the facts bear out that white farmers live in fear of their lives.
Now, if I was a farmer in South Africa and the US offered permanent residency to me and my family, help with resettlement, etc., would I take it up? Probably, but for economic reasons, not for reasons of safety.
They want blood and a lot of money. In that order.
The ironic part is the black population of Southern Africa themselves immigrated from way north around from around the 9th century C.E. The Bantu people originated from the area around Nigeria etc. So they themselves are not native. That are the bushmen IIRC.
But never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Because when foreign governments admit these people into their country as refugees who are escaping genocide, it's no longer possible for the ANC to hide that it's happening.I am having trouble connecting the headline of this thread with the document posted.
