A Catholic official with the Southern Africa Bishops’ Conference has responded to the recent controversy surrounding the meeting between the US and South African presidents, during which Donald Trump made claims about genocide being conducted against white people in South Africa.
Mike Pothier is the Program Manager at the Catholic Parliamentary Liaison Office of the Southern Africa Bishops’ Conference. Speaking to Crux, Pothier said the effects of apartheid for Black people are still very much present in South Africa, and that it would take a very long time to undo the injustices that apartheid created.
