South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has called a group of 59 white citizens who have moved to the US to resettle "cowards", saying they will be back soon.
The group of Afrikaners arrived in the US on Monday after President Donald Trump granted them refugees status, saying they faced racial discrimination.
But Mr. Ramaphosa said those who wanted to leave were not happy with efforts to address the inequities in the apartheid past, terming their relocation a sad moment for them.
Mr. Trump and his close ally, South African-born Elon Musk, have said there was a genocide of white farmers in South Africa - a claim that has been widely discredited.
