Trump suspended US refugee programme just two days before family's scheduled departure.

Family was told their flight to the US was cancelled less than 24 hours before take-off.

Just three of the 120,000 refugees who had been conditionally approved to enter the US now wait in limbo.

Trump has moved quickly to deliver on his campaign promise of an " America first " agenda.

South Africa does not release crime figures based on race, but the latest figures revealed that 6,953 people were murdered in the country between October and December 2024 .

Of these, 12 were killed in farm attacks, one was a farmer, usually white, while five were farm dwellers and four were employees, who were likely to have been black.
