Errol Musk Discusses Russian Refugee Plan for 50 South African Farm Families
Russian officials say the initiative could resettle about 50 Afrikaner families as South Africa rejects claims of persecution.
- On Tuesday, Errol Musk told AFP he is pursuing a project to provide refugee status in Russia for 50 South African farm families, claiming white Afrikaner farmers face targeted murder.
- Nearly 5,000 white Afrikaners have entered the United States as refugees since President Donald Trump took office, though South Africa denies the persecution claims underlying both programs.
- Last week, Aleksandr Avdeyev, governor of the Vladimir region, confirmed discussing the project with Musk on Telegram: "We discussed the development of agriculture and the prospects for settling 50 Dutch-origin families from South Africa."
- Friedrich von Treskow, a researcher at the South African Institute of International Affairs, called the plan "puzzling," warning it could create tensions with Pretoria, which has been reluctant to criticize Russia.
- Pretoria and Moscow have maintained close ties since the Soviet Union supported the African National Congress during anti-apartheid struggles, though Forbidden Stories reported the ANC received "assistance" from Russian influence agents before the 2024 election.
