Dozens of white South Africans granted refugee status under Trump's new rule
A group of 49 white South Africans have become the first benefit of a controversial US refugee program.
The Afrikaners, who included families with small children, left South Africa on Sunday on a chartered plane bound for the US, a spokesperson for the South African transport ministry confirmed.
Refugee groups have criticised the Trump administration for prioritising Afrikaners, a white ethnic minority, over people in greater need.
