Home affairs minister Peter Dutton has received criticism from his South African counterparts after revealing his department was exploring ways to fast-track humanitarian visas for “persecuted” white farmers.
Mr Dutton said white farmers need help “from a civilized country like ours,” following increasing reports of farm murders and possible land displacements in South Africa.
South African government spokesman Ndivhuwo Mabaya said their “friends across the world [have] no need to panic” and that the “land redistribution programme will be done according to the law.”
