A distressing situation has emerged for an Afrikaner family of four who have reportedly found themselves stranded in a hotel in Montana, USA, after arriving under a refugee programme intended for persecuted individuals.
The familys plight came to light through a TikTok post by South African expatriate catmpt, who uncovered their struggle for basic necessities such as food and communication.
This familys predicament highlights the challenges faced by some of the white South Africans who have recently sought refuge in the United States amid fears of political persecution back home.
Two distinct groups of white South Africans have recently obtained refugee status in the US, entering a programme that was bolstered by an Executive Order from President Donald Trump.
Under this framework, refugees are granted Priority-2 status, which promises certain start-up assistance, including financial support and job placement.
