twenty four. There were just over two thousand reported incidents

racially motivated, particularly against the black community, which accounted for
nearly a quarter of reported cases in the state in

Newsweek that was posted on YouTube, the younger Mandela says

(03:05):
the africaners should be deported and arrested when they returned
to South Africa for lying about their status. He says
they should not receive asylum in America because they are
not refugees. Last month, a group of fifty nine white
