Another Afrikaner “refugee” has been questioned over her motive for leaving South Africa for the US, under President Donald Trump’s Executive Order.
Like many others, Santana de Bruyn of Gqeberha is accused of being an “opportunist” who hopes to reap the benefits of the resettlement programme for “persecuted” people.
According to reports, the former Heineken employee has put her R2,3 million home on the market.
AFRIKANER ‘REFUGEE’ ENLISTS R2M HOUSE AFTER ‘FREE FLIGHT’ TO US
According to the Herald, Santana de Bruyn, her three children, and her mother, Susana, were part of the 49 Afrikaner “refugees” who arrived in the US last week.
The publication reports that the 33-year-old has listed her R2.3 million home on the market.
Her uncle, Roelof de Bruyn, said: “They said [President] Trump was flying them for free from Gqeberha to Johannesburg. And then to the US.
“Then he will give them houses, furniture, and vouchers to buy food”.
It’s unclear what persecution she faced to warrant her being granted “refugee” status.
According to the listing of her home, the five-bedroom property contains a “vast entertainment area”, complete with a “refreshing pool” and a “spacious flatlet”. It is described as a “a true sanctuary that merges comfort, style, and endless possibilities”.

According to her LinkedIn account, Santana de Bruyn has worked for Heineken Beverages for over a decade. Prior to that, she lived in Rustenburg, where she completed her studies.
Like other “refugees”, Santana has also “locked” her Facebook, possibly preventing the public from prying.

Santana de Bruyn is not the only Gqerberha resident, or Afrikaner “refugee”, whose claims of “persecution” landed her a spot on Trump’s resettlement programme.
Jacqueline Botha left her home in the affluent neighbourhood of Rowellan Park. She is accused of scoring a “free flight” to allegedly reunite with her husband, who has been living in the US for years.
Limpopo Graniting mining businessman Charl Niehaus spoke to the media about leaving behind his five-bedroom home to find a better life abroad. He hopes to reunite with his brother, who lives in the US.
Similarly, another, IT businessman, Errol Langton – who claimed he was an Afrikaner English South African who farmed “leafy green vegetables,” – sought “refugee” status after experiencing crime in South Africa.
He also joins family members who live and work in the US.
