The South African Council of Churches and its counterparts the Reformed Church in America (RCA), Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP),  the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) says they reject the false narrative of a so-called "White genocide" in South Africa.

To discuss this further we are joined on the line by General Secretary of the Reformed Church in America, Rev. Eddy Alemán
