South African ambassador to US says white genocide does not exist

South African Ambassador to the United States Roelf Meyer told the BBC that the notion of a “white genocide” in South Africa does not exist. In the interview, Meyer emphasized that his own background as a white Afrikaner gives him the credibility to confront the claim.

Meyer said his Afrikaner identity enables him to challenge former President Donald Trump’s assertion that a genocide is occurring against white South Africans. The ambassador’s remarks were made during a BBC interview.
