How have Afrikaners responded to President Trump's offer of asylum for white South Africans?

Reactions to Trump's asylum offer among Afrikaners in South Africa are mixed. While most Afrikaners have dismissed the proposal outright, others, particularly those attending a rally in Pretoria, expressed gratitude that someone has finally acknowledged their situation. The clip captures one supporter directly thanking Trump for the offer. These varying responses exist against the backdrop of significant economic inequality in South Africa, where the average black household possesses only 5% of the wealth of the average white family. This stark wealth disparity adds complexity to the asylum offer, as it highlights the ongoing racial and economic tensions that continue to shape life in post-apartheid South Africa.
