From The South African

An online petition on the website change.org is calling for the European Union to give white South Africans, Namibians and Zimbabweans automatic European citizenship.

“The white South African population currently faces ethnic cleansing and persecutions at the hands of the ANC government, the EFF, and various individual anti-white aggressors. Over 4000 white farmers have been brutally murdered, often including torture, rape and mutilation,” the petition reads.

“Many white South Africans today live in poverty and squalor as a consequence of the ANC government’s Black Economic Empowerment policy which shuts whites out of the labour pool.”

The petition has accumulated over 24,000 signatures.

Brazilian Rodrigo Herhaus de Campos, who is behind the campaign, says in the petition that he has been liaising with right wing group Front Nasionaal (National Front) in South Africa.

“Many of these white South Africans seeking citizenship are direct descendants of the very same European nations that reject them,” the petition reads.

The petition questions whether white South Africans should have “the right to return to any European nation of their choosing, or if they would specifically have the right to return to whatever nation the majority of their ancestry is from”. In most cases this would be either the UK or the Netherlands.
