No persecution of Afrikaners in South Africa: Lamola



International Relations and Co-operation Minister, Ronald Lamola, says there is no persecution of Afrikaners in South Africa.

Addressing the media in Pretoria, Lamola confirmed that President Cyril Ramaphosa will travel to the United States of America where he is expected to meet President Donald Trump.

The Presidency will be communicating the details soon.

  1. Stop talking crap.we white people get billed heavy for municipality acc etc.where most of the blacks get better tarrifs and gets it free.and they work according to surnames that is obvious on the accounts.i know cause i got a black neighbor.

  2. So ramaposa and the anc did not say that whites should be slowly boiled in water, but done so slowly that they do not realize it is happening? What a useless and braised news channel you are.

  3. Really, then what is all the racial discrimination in order for whites to work and/be sportsman/women with SA’s quota laws. Instead of SA rather working together towards a better SA.

  4. The only way to the US is to make that claim no matter what.
    You have a big job ahead of you to carefully gather undisputed evidence on every single Afrikaner to prove them wrong. Evidence perhaps dating back to president Madiba's first term.

  5. Let me share just a small part of our experience living in South Africa. I’ve survived two hijackings and a violent home invasion, where the attackers shouted, “We are going to kill you white evils . In that moment, the racial motivation behind the attack was undeniable.

    When public figures chant slogans like “Kill the Boer, kill the farmer,” it feels deeply personal—like a target has been drawn on people like us, whether others choose to acknowledge it or not.

    And when political leaders like Julius Malema say things like, “We’re not calling for the killing of white people — for now,” how are we expected to feel safe or welcome? Isn’t this, if nothing else, evidence of persecution?

    People can argue that crime affects everyone, but what we’ve experienced goes beyond that.

  6. South Africa should make a law that requires those who want to leave Africa to pay some amount of their money to South Africa! They are the rich of South Africa, all the money is from South Africa Resources! Trump is taking Africa's money through these white people
