A group of more than 40 prominent white South Africans have hit back at Donald Trump’s claims they are being “slaughtered,” telling the president that they are “not pawns in America’s culture wars.”
In an open letter, the group – which included political analysts, economists, lawyers, journalists, religious figures and historians – rejected the narrative that they were the victims of racial persecution and even genocide, saying that it was “not only misleading, but dangerous.”
