A white South African woman flown to the USA as a refugee is now selling her luxury home in Eastern Cape for ZAR 2.3 million or nearly GBP 100,000.
Earlier this month Santana de Bruyn, from Gqeberha, flew out from South Africa with 48 other 'refugees' as part of a controversial emergency asylum seekers programme.
The refugees, all white from Afrikaner heritage, claim to be victims of racial discrimination in fear of their lives.
As well as the free flight to Washington and on to Texas, the first wave of refugees are expected to receive free accommodation and generous resettlement payments.

Many were said by US president Donald Trump to be farmers in fear for their lives after their land was seized by black neighbours.
Now it has emerged that de Bruyn, who arrived with her mother Susana and three children, still owns her luxurious five bedroom home in a smart South African suburb.
De Bruyn, who worked for beer giants Heineken, has put the bungalow in the sought-after Lorraine suburb up for sale through local estate agents ReMax.
Complete with a swimming pool and a separate granny flat it is described as a "true sanctuary that merges comfort, style, and endless possibilities".
The listing says the home comes with a "vast entertainment area", complete with a "refreshing pool" and a "spacious flatlet".
De Bruyn, 33, is asking ZAR 2.3 million (GBP 95,200) for the detached house, a cool ZAR 600,000 (GBP 25,000) above the average house price in the area.
Her uncle Roelof de Bruyn told local media: "They said Trump was flying them for free from Gqeberha to Johannesburg and then to the US.

"Then he will give them houses, furniture, and vouchers to buy food."
It is unclear what persecution de Bruyn faces in her homeland but she was pictured on her arrival in the US waving a miniature stars and stripes flag.
President Trump later sought to shame South African President Cyril Ramaphosa during a White House summit with so-called evidence of 'white genocide' in his country.
Trump showed of cuttings of newspaper articles over the last few days claiming to show proof of persecution of white minorities.
As he held them up to the cameras Trump said they showed "death, death, horrible death, death, death".
