President Cyril Ramaphosa makes it clear that unlawful actions, violence, intimidation, xenophobia and the spread of misinformation have no place in South Africa.

Only authorised law enforcement agencies may act against violations of the law, and all people must be treated with dignity and respect.

The U.S. plans to process up to 4,500 refugee applications per month from white South Africans.

A State Department document reveals expanded operations, including the installation of trailers at the U.S. embassy in Pretoria for refugee processing.

The policy accelerates admissions for white South Africans while restricting refugee intakes from other regions.

This initiative follows Trump's 2025 immigration policies, specifically granting exceptions for Afrikaners.
