在纽约联合国大会期间接受FRANCE 24电视台采访时，南非外交部长罗纳德·拉莫拉表示，华盛顿计划接纳多达17,500名南非白人是‘基于种族的政策’，并称对阿非利卡人的‘所谓种族灭绝’是‘假新闻’。不过拉莫拉也表示，南非不会干涉美国的这一计划。
In an interview with FRANCE 24 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola said Washington's plan to take in up to 17,500 more White South Africans was "a race-based policy", dismissing the "so-called genocide" of Afrikaners as "fake news". However, Pretoria will "not interfere" with the US programme, Lamola said.
他还表示，尽管特朗普政府施压要求南非撤回在联合国国际法院针对以色列的加沙战争种族灭绝诉讼，但南非仍坚持这一立场。
He also said that South Africa stands by its genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice over the war in Gaza, despite pressure from the Trump administration to drop the case.
最后，拉莫拉驳斥了尼日利亚关于南非近期针对外国人的暴力事件的指控，称这些袭击‘并非国家所为’，而是‘民兵组织的活动’。”}{
Finally, Lamola rejected Nigeria's accusations over recent anti-foreigner violence in South Africa as "a very unfortunate characterisation", saying the attacks were "not state sponsored" but the "activities of vigilante groups".
