Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 75820, member: 636"] Ernst Roets from Lex Libertas got dragged hard after claiming the Trump administration's refugee exemption for Afrikaners proves South Africa is falling apart. The exemption came after the US slashed refugee admissions to 7,500 spots and carved out priority access for Afrikaners facing alleged persecution, but critics say Roets and groups like AfriForum have been pushing a bogus white genocide narrative for years that finally reached Trump's team. AfriForum insists they never used the genocide label outright, yet they've been presenting reports on minority rights violations and lobbying internationally since 2018. Government analysts and even some Afrikaners have called out the persecution claims as overblown since farm murder stats don't support ethnic cleansing theories, and the whole thing risks tanking relations between Pretoria and Washington.
