南非驻美新大使罗伊夫·迈耶在接受BBC采访时明确否认了特朗普政府关于南非存在白人种族灭绝的指控1。迈耶作为生于南非的阿非利卡人,强调自己有权对此议题发言,并指出南非所有政党(包括代表阿非利卡人的政党)都已否认针对白人南非人的种族灭绝说法1。
特朗普政府曾在与南非总统拉马福萨的会面中提出这一指控,随后启动了针对白人阿非利卡人的难民途径1。根据官方数据,该计划去年已接纳近13000名难民(其中仅3名来自南非以外),计划在未来12个月再接纳17500人1。白宫发言人为该政策辩护,声称特朗普政府提供了人道主义救助1。
迈耶对此提出异议,呼吁撤销特朗普的相关行政令1。他指出,南非的犯罪问题是全国性的,并非针对特定族群1。警方数据进一步支持这一观点,显示南非犯罪的大多数受害者是黑人,农场暴力通常由抢劫动机驱动1。迈耶于4月被任命为南非驻美大使,曾是种族隔离制度终结的主要调解人之一1。
South Africa's newly appointed ambassador to the United States, Roelof Meyer, has firmly rejected assertions of white genocide in his country during an interview with the BBC 1. Meyer, who was appointed to the post in April and served as a key mediator during the transition from apartheid, stated the claim does not exist and emphasized his standing as a South African-born Afrikaner to speak on the matter 1.
The ambassador's comments directly counter allegations made by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who raised the issue during a White House meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa last year 1. In response to these claims, the Trump administration established a refugee pathway for Afrikaners, admitting nearly 13,000 refugees last year, with only 3 coming from outside South Africa, and has announced plans to accept an additional 17,500 white Afrikaner refugees over the next 12 months 1. Meyer has called for the withdrawal of Trump's executive order on the matter 1.
Meyer's position aligns with those of all South African political parties, including those representing Afrikaner interests, which have denied allegations of genocide targeting white South Africans 1. According to police data cited in the source, the majority of crime victims in South Africa are Black, and farm violence is typically driven by robbery rather than targeting based on race 1. The White House has defended its refugee initiative, with a spokesperson claiming it provides a humanitarian lifeline for Afrikaners who have been victims of rape, assault, and murder 1.
