“They Don’t Want Us to Leave”:
South African Raid on USA Officials
By: Brendi Wells December 17, 2025
A storm is breaking over the South African Afrikaner remnant. What is being framed publicly as a diplomatic incident is, in reality, an act of war carried out covertly and deliberately. We are bearing witness to something far more sinister than an isolated raid. This is a convergence point—political treachery, racial targeting, and spiritual warfare colliding in the open.
On Tuesday, December 16, 2025, a U.S.-affiliated refugee processing center in Johannesburg was raided by South African officials wearing khaki uniforms. The facility had been operating quietly, processing asylum applications from white South Africans — many of them Afrikaner farmers — under provisions authorized by executive order. The raid was calculated, hostile, and executed while U.S. immigration agents were on site. It was not just interference. It was a direct act of aggression.
Context: Trump’s Executive Order and the Afrikaner Exodus
Earlier this year, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order directing the United States to open accelerated asylum pathways for white South African farmers and the Afrikaner community, citing their persecution under discriminatory policies by the South African government.
In a highly publicized Oval Office meeting on May 21, 2025, President Donald J. Trump confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa with video evidence and reports of violent attacks on white farmers—evidence Trump says illustrated systemic racial targeting and justified expanded asylum pathways for Afrikaners. Despite being shown this material, Ramaphosa publicly denied that the South African government was engaged in any policy of racial persecution or land seizure without compensation, asserting that the narratives Trump presented were false and politically motivated.
At the time, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa had already signed the controversial Expropriation Act into law on 23 January, granting the government broader authority to seize land, including provisions to permit expropriations without compensation. Yet he stood face to face with President Donald J. Trump and denied it outright. This was a direct act of duplicitous behavior — a deliberate lie delivered at the highest diplomatic level.
Firsthand Testimony: The Raid at the Refugee Center
As read on-air by Col. Chris Wyatt, here is the full transcript from one of the refugee applicants present at the raid:
I was one of the refugee applicants at Johannesburg venue today. We were a family of who were undergoing our pre-screening interviews, fingerprinting and document scanning. In fact, I was 5 minutes into my interview when colleagues of the official conducting our online interview came in and shut the laptop citing urgent issues which required them to leave immediately. We were told someone would contact us with details to reschedule.
We were ushered back to the waiting area via the reception where individuals clothed in government uniform were filming everyone coming in and out of the waiting room with a cell phone. Multiple others arrived on the scene in multiple vehicles driving through the security check at the gate. A short while later, uniformed individuals walked into the waiting room, not paying us much attention, but obviously seeking the American immigration agents who had fled the building in a hurry.
They noted the signs up on the doors and walls with directions for refugee applicants. They were greeted by a lady and a young man who were what seemed to be refugee applicants who seemed to be familiar with them and told them that the Americans had just left. This lady and four officials were in the allocated fingerprinting room for some time where she seemed to be friendly and providing them with details.
We were then ushered in to hand in our folders and lanyards all the while being filmed without permission by a person in an unmarked vehicle. The officials mocked and intimidated the refugee applicants, saying things like, “Ah, shame. So many whiteies who were trying to run away to America.” The atmosphere was tense and very intimidating.
Of course, having handed in all electronic devices when we reached the venue. None of us could record the incident, seek assistance or clarity until after we had left the premises. We were filmed all the way to our car and our vehicle details were also recorded. We returned home not knowing what happened and how this will affect us.
On our way out to our car, we noted the refugees with their pack bags who were obviously scheduled to fly out this evening. We have no way of knowing if the register of applicants was taken from the security of the gate. We have no way of knowing if our family safety has been further compromised and fear retaliation.
A Pattern of Entrapment: Keeping the Producers Inside the Cage
This is not the first time white South Africans have faced quiet sabotage in their attempts to leave.
Even my in personal experience, my own son was denied a visitor’s visa to attend my wedding in the United States in 2017.
This is common. Why? Because white South Africans now make up only about 5-7 % of the South African population, yet the country’s tax burden is carried by a very small slice of income earners. According to the 2025 tax data, roughly 1.5 % of the population pays more than 60 % of personal income tax, and a narrow group of individuals shoulders most of the tax load — a structure that makes any disruptions among these contributors deeply consequential.
They are hated, vilified, and marginalized, yet they are too economically valuable to release.
The trap is closing. They are being disarmed, robbed of their ancestral land, blocked from escape, and filmed like criminals for attempting to flee persecution.
Biblical Framework: The Time of Jacob’s Trouble
We are witnessing the prophetic unfolding of Jeremiah 30:7 — “Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble.”
The persecution of covenant people, wherever they are scattered, is not random. It is a global agenda tied to the Beast system that seeks total compliance—or elimination.
From vaccine mandates to biometric ID control to the forced migration chaos sweeping continents, a common thread emerges:
the righteous are being surrounded, and the old strongholds of liberty are being dismantled.
The raid on this refugee center is not just a political embarrassment. It is a warning to the remnant.
This system will not permit escape. It will mock your suffering. And it will use infiltrators to betray you.
Conclusion: Sound the Alarm, While There is Still Light
What happened in Johannesburg sent a clear message. You are not allowed to leave. We will strip you of dignity, mock your suffering, record your faces, and laugh as we shut the gates — but you are not free to go. It echoes Pharaoh in the days of Moses: hardened in pride, refusing to let the people of covenant walk away.
But the remnant must not be silent. As it is written in Revelation 12:11, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
Sound the alarm. The gates are closing.
This is truly evil. I pray our Heavenly Father will intervene so these innocent people are freed from their bondage
