‘I didn’t come here for fun’ – Afrikaner defends refugee status in US

Last week, 46-year-old Charl Kleinhaus was living on his family farm in Mpumalanga province, South Africa. With its scenic beauty, wildlife and deep canyons, it’s known as “the place where the sun rises”.

His new home – for now – is a budget hotel near an American highway.

He and dozens of other white South Africans were moved to the US under President Donald Trump’s controversial policy to protect them from the discrimination he alleges they are facing – an accusation that South Africa rejects.


A harmless ditty, a sort of Negro Spiritual we’re told.
