#Afriforum
Afriforum, an Afrikaner activist group, traveled to the US in 2018 to persuade officials that White South African (SA) farmers were being murdered due to their race.

Afriforum has since cavorted w/ MAGA influencers & NatCon.

But even Afriforum has admitted “THERE IS NO WHITE GENOCIDE” in SA. 1/

In 2024, Ernst Van Zyl of Afriforum—a White Afrikaner group that has been accused of treason re: Trump’s actions against South Africa—acknowledged that “there is no white genocide” in South Africa.

But Trump just used the white genocide myth to justify giving White Afrikaners refugee status. 1/

This “Trump saves the Afrikaners” saga is wild. So Trump made that EO in which he commits to “the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination,” and Afriforum — an Afrikaner rights group — is like no thanks, we aren’t refugees and we aren’t leaving lmfao

Even Afrikaaner groups like AfriForum don't use the term "white genocide" because there's no evidence for it and there's little appetite for that rhetoric in South Africa. As @carolyneholmes.bsky.social told me in a recent interview, that term is far more popular among white supremacists outside SA.
