ABC's Linsey Davis spoke with Episcopal Bishop Sean Rowe about his church ending its relationship with the government after President Donald Trump's administration granted 59 white South African Afrikaners refugee status.

None of South Africa's political parties - including those that represent Afrikaners and the white community in general - have claimed that there is a genocide in South Africa.

Trump signed an executive order granting refugee status to Afrikaners, such as Mr Kleinhaus, who he said were being persecuted.
