Grant refugee status and accept asylum applications from South Africans.

What the petition asks

In February a motion was passed by the government of South Africa approving the confiscation of white-owned land without compensation. This will lead to government sanctioned violence against people simply living their lives, we must allow anyone fleeing this nightmare safety within our country.

The politician responsible for this motion, Julius Malema, ominously commented "the time for reconciliation is over. Now is the time for justice. We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land". He also previously stated that he is "not calling for the slaughter of white people - at least for now", words with a clear racial threat against white people residing in South Africa.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

People can already claim asylum if they have left their country and are unable to go back because they fear persecution.
