Trump has falsely accused government of land grabs and treating Afrikaners badly.

It led to Trump offering to resettle white Afrikaners as refugees in the US.

Last Sunday, a group of 49 boarded a chartered plane from Joburg to Dulles Airport near Washington, D.C.

Ministers Ronald Lamola, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, John Steenhuisen and Parks Tau are accompanying the President.
