Afrikaners today: what is their real status?
- Wits University
The first wave of an estimated 500 white South Africans touched down in Dulles Airport this month on a US-government chartered airplane.
The Trump administration says it has fast-tracked the group for resettlement because the Afrikaners face racial persecution.
Professor Nicky Falkof, Director of the Wits Centre for Diversity Studies and the SARCHi Chair in Critical Diversity Studies at Wits University spoke host Marco Werman about the status of Afrikaners in South Africa today, on the Canadian public radio programme The World produced by GBH Educational Foundation and PRX.
