# The FW de Klerk Foundation has dismissed claims by US president Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio that Afrikaners are being persecuted in South Africa. The foundation says these allegations of killings and illegal land seizures are false. They warn that spreading such misinformation risks damaging South Africa’s reputation and international relations. The foundation’s Christo van der Rheede calls for unity ahead of the G20 summit in Johannesburg.
