"The Americans are greedy, and they are crooks. I really had hope. I thought we were going after people who are Christians, who have more values and morals. Then it didn't work out. Yes, we have people being killed on farms and plots. But ultimately this is not a genocide,” Mel Viljoen told Netwerk24.
Mel also compared life in the United States versus life in South Africa. She also weighed in on Donald Trump’s Afrikaner refugee programme, saying that it is not what he made it out to be.
"We don't have a division here like in America. We thought it would improve with Trump's invitation to Afrikaners. He's lying. If those refugees get so much as a DUI (driving under the influence), they're Ice'd. It's a risk for anyone who is an immigrant there now,” Mel said.

"I think I'll have to see someone who can help me with some PTSD. It's a very traumatic experience. I'm still sad in the mornings and a little bit in the evenings because Peet isn't out yet, but we talk on the phone pretty much all day," said Mrs Viljoen.
Netwerk24 reported that she shed a tear when she talked about her husband.
