Government of South Africa notes the USA Executive Order

The government of South Africa has taken note of the latest executive order issued by President Trump. It is of great concern that the foundational premise of this order lacks factual accuracy and fails to recognize South Africa's profound and painful history of colonialism and apartheid.

We are concerned by what seems to be a campaign of misinformation and propaganda aimed at misrepresenting our great nation. It is disappointing to observe that such narratives seem to have found favour among decision-makers in the United States of America.

It is ironic that the executive order makes provision for refugee status in the US for a group in South Africa that remains amongst the most economically privileged, while vulnerable people in the US from other parts of the world are being deported and denied asylum despite real hardship.

We reiterate that South Africa remains committed to finding diplomatic solutions to any misunderstandings or disputes.

@daddyhope This is so sad and shocking. I was lucky enough to work at BBC Africa with Lewis. He always made us laugh and was such a kind man. Rest in peace, Machips

3 sets of family court proceedings preceded the murder of Sara Sharif by her father + stepmother: as soon as we had an inkling, @hansummers and I with incredible pro bono support from @ChrismdBarnes applied for the court documents. Our story for @tortoise https://t.co/ice84TolaB

Over my many years as a journalist my stories have often made an impact- discussed in other media or in parliament, influenced policy . But I think this is the first occasion when one of my reports looks likely to change the law .@MeirionTweets @louisetickle @Hoskea10
