The persecuted South Africans would instead be assisted by the US Refugee Admissions Programme (USRAP), which was signed as an Executive Order by President Donald Trump.
As part of the Afrikaner Act, the group was also given Priority-2 refugee status, which provides them with start-up assistance like money, jobs, and even a house.
CAN THEY RETURN TO SA?
According to DIRCO spokesperson Chrispin Phiri, refugees simply cant return home for a braai and go back.
He added: Even the word itself refugee suggests that you are seeking refuge from a particular country.
You cant be seeking refugee status, then go back home, have a braai, then go back. It defeats the purpose of you being protected and a refugee of a particular country, he said
