Ngcetani-Vika’s remarks come a day after the first batch of 49 people who left SA arrived in the US.

This followed an Executive Order issued by US President, Donald Trump allowing white Afrikaners, who claim discrimination in SA, to acquire an expedited path to citizenship in the US. Trump has erroneously claimed that genocide was happening in SA. Dr. Ngcethani-Vika says the matter could be problematic for the SA government

“It undermines the moral authority of the SA government taking the government of Israel to the International Court of Justice, and I mean if you have got a genocide in your backyard, what gives any moral standing in a global order to challenges other societies or other nations to do so. That shows cracks and at a broader level, it talks to a really, really fractured relationships between the bilateral relationship between SA and the US,” Dr. Ngcethani-Vika said.
