The South African government has expressed concern over a new executive order issued by US President Donald Trump.

According to South Africa, the order is based on incorrect information and does not consider the country’s difficult history with colonialism and apartheid.

The government believes there is a campaign spreading false information about South Africa, which is influencing decisions in the US. It is disappointing to see these narratives shaping policies.

One of the major concerns is that the US executive order allows refugee status for a group in South Africa that is already economically well-off.

Meanwhile, people from other countries facing real struggles are being denied asylum and deported from the US.

Despite these concerns, South Africa remains committed to diplomacy and finding peaceful solutions to any misunderstandings. The government is open to discussions to clear up any issues.

This statement was issued by South Africa’s Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation.
