Since President Donald Trump opened the borders for Afrikaner farmers wishing to relocate to America, the internet has been filled with content showing others already living abroad enjoying the country.

One man who moved to the US shared a video of himself arriving home from another town on his TikTok handle @jacquesfaithvanto, exciting many people wishing to relocate.

The man returns home

In the clip, the man starts by showing a very quiet neighbourhood, arriving in the evening in South Dakota. He opens the door and goes into a massive building with many doors. After opening one of the doors, he enters his place and sighs, sharing how blessed he is.

He shows the kitchen as he moves along, the lounge, and opens another door to find his gorgeous wife applying mascara while busy with her makeup. The man lovingly greets her and she greets him back.

Watch the TikTok video below:

The guy is a farmer working in the US on an H-2A visa. His TikTok page features many videos explaining the seasonal program and showing how others can secure similar jobs.

Briefly News interviewed financial expert Fulufhelani Mashapha on the financial strategies available to farmers during relocation. She said:

"Farmers relocating from rural to urban areas face substantial financial and lifestyle adjustments. To support this transition, they may need to unlock capital by selling agricultural assets such as land or equipment."

What's the H-2A visa program?

The H-2A program allows US farm employers to bring in foreign workers for seasonal agricultural jobs when there aren’t enough local workers. To qualify, employers must demonstrate their need, advertise openings to US workers first, and agree to pay the prevailing wage. They also provide safe housing and cover travel expenses.

Workers under H-2A receive guaranteed hours and pay protections, and they may stay in the US for up to a year, with possible extensions. Employers must adhere to strict recruitment, housing and record-keeping rules to ensure worker safety and fair treatment.

Mzansi netizens love the cute couple

Social media users took to the comments section to share how much they enjoyed watching the man's clip. Many were happy that his wife joined him in the States, asking visa-related questions. Others jokingly cautioned the couple not to make the man's dad a grandfather again, while some complimented the man's gorgeous wife.
