Where to start with these two: Obviously racism and criminal conduct are nothing new to the “Real Housewives” reality show franchise’s legion of current and former sociopaths. Also worth mentioning first is that Afrikaner trash Melany Viljoen, 39, and her husband, Petrus “Peet” Jacobus Viljoen, 57, are not “refugees” under the formal, legal definition of the status given to an estimated 2,000 to 3,500 of the Caucasian Boer-billies since early last year thanks to the “white genocide in South Africa” horseshit that MAGAmericans continue to claim is happening, every single day.
Tangential, but still funny is this:
At least Trump doesnt have 600 kids with 600 women.

That was in reply to the infamous and now-deleted “Trump is in the Epstein files” tweet by the world’s most famous Afrikaner, who Mel apparently was not a fan of on that particular day.
Mel and Peet, who entered the US on a B-2 visa that expired in November, do certainly talk the talk when it comes to the performative bullshit about being “refugees” from the fake “white genocide” in the former Apartheid state, with Peet telling an Afrikaans site last year that there’s “no doubt in my mind that I am a racist and hate South African black people.” No doubt from anyone else either, bro.
“Genocide is a reality in South Africa and all of you white people are going to be massacred,” he added. Conveniently before they fled to Florida the two were under investigation for a litany of white collar crimes linked to the collapse of their nail salon chain and God knows what other kind of shit.
Fast forward to this month when CBS 12 reports that, following months of investigation, cops in Boca Raton pulled over the Viljoens in their Range Rover and cuffed them for fucking around with the self-checkout lanes to the tune of at least $5,300 at a nearby Publix – the Sunshine State grocery chain partially owned by a hardcore Trump donor who bankrolled the January 6, 2021 “Stop the Steal” rally at which the Orange God Emperor incited the Capitol insurrection. Melany tried to take the fall, telling cops Peet was not involved, and was stealing from the proud MAGA-owned grocery store because she was in “survival mode” and unable to work given the couple’s visa status.
About that…

The two were scooped up by ICE on Friday, the South African reports. One could argue that they already have been treated demonstrably worse by the Orange supremacist American government than they ever were under the allegedly Black supremacist South African government back home.
Also it’ll probably be a while before Mel can delete that tweet applauding what Trump did for them.
