An Afrikaner “refugee” family have reportedly been left stranded in the US, and is appealing for help on Facebook.

The startling revelation was made by a South African expat on TikTok.

Two groups of white South Africans have taken up “refugee status” in the US in recent weeks, as part of a programme open to “persecuted” people.

On her TikTok account, South African expat @catmpt revealed that she had come across an Afrikaner “refugee” family in dire need of help.

The family of four was reportedly stranded at a hotel in Montana without food, money, or a cellphone. Instead, they had reached out to a Facebook group for help.

The woman said of the “refugees”: “They were understanding that they would be arriving here for complete assistance. People thought they would be arriving at a house, a job, medical insurance, and other things. It isn’t that way at all.

She added: “Because of the political situation, they are really struggling to get jobs”.

The woman revealed that she had left South Africa more than a decade ago, but had gone through a lengthy process. She also criticised Afrikaner “refugees” for having unrealistic expectations.
