In Johannesburg, US President Donald Trump’s offer to accept white Afrikaners as refugees has been widely mocked by South Africans of all races, who have called it "ridiculous" and "lame." Trump's claims about white Afrikaners being persecuted and the South African government seizing white-owned land were met with skepticism, with many pointing out the historical context of apartheid and ongoing inequalities. Critics, including students and professionals, found the idea laughable, with some seeing it as racially charged and uninformed. The South African government dismissed Trump's proposal, highlighting the irony of a nation with its own deportation issues. While a few in South Africa are considering resettlement, many see Trump’s offer as impractical, with concerns over the high cost of life in the U.S.
