How did Afrikaners respond to President Trump's offer of asylum?
Afrikaners in South Africa showed mixed reactions to President Trump's asylum offer. While most Afrikaners appear to have dismissed the proposal, others demonstrated gratitude, particularly those at a rally in Pretoria who seemed thankful that someone had finally acknowledged their perceived plight, with one activist directly thanking Trump. This response exists against a backdrop of significant economic inequality in South Africa, where black households reportedly possess only 5% of the average wealth of white families. This stark wealth disparity provides important context for understanding the varying responses among white South Africans to international attention on their situation.
