Quick Summary

Memorial crosses were installed in Washington D.C., commemorating what some refer to as a 'white genocide' affecting white farmers in South Africa. This narrative has been endorsed by former U.S. President Donald Trump but is dismissed by the South African government, which argues that crime and violence impact all racial groups equally.

Story summary

An Afrikaner lobby group displayed thousands of white crosses on Washington DC's National Mall to represent victims of alleged genocide against white people in South Africa, but Roelf Meyer, South Africa's new ambassador to the US, dismisses this claim as non-existent. The Trump administration is considering admitting up to 17,500 additional Afrikaner refugees over 12 months. Meanwhile, South Africa’s government denies any mass attack against white people and asserts that crime impacts all racial groups equally.
