The South African government has dismissed accusations by the US that it harassed and intimidated American officials during a raid on a centre processing applications by white South Africans for refugee status in the US. Tuesday's raid saw seven Kenyans expelled from South Africa for working in the country illegally. The US accused South Africa of publishing the passport details of its officials, calling this 'unacceptable.' Despite the US threatening 'severe consequences,' South Africa claims to uphold stringent legal and security protocols regarding data. Furthermore, the US is reportedly offering asylum to Afrikaners citing persecution, which South Africa has rejected, while South Africa's government expressed concern about potential foreign coordination with undocumented workers.
