Former Nigerian lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has urged South Africa to continue defending it’s sovereignty amid the US President, Donald Trump’s Executive Order, cutting financial assistance to the country.

His executive order accuses South Africa’s government of seizing property from White landowners and calls for their resettlement as “refugees” in the U.S.

The president ordered that all foreign assistance to South Africa be halted and said his administration would prioritize the resettling of white, “Afrikaner refugees” into the United States.
