Shadows and Spotlight: Afrikaner “Refugees,” Satire, and the Theatre of Migration

by Liam Fortuin
May 16, 2025

Afrikaner white South Africans are leaving their country because they worry about violence, money troubles, and feeling left out. Their move to the United States, under a special policy, has caused lots of talk and argument on both sides. A funny puppet named Chester Missing uses sharp jokes to poke fun at the situation, making people laugh but also think deeply about South Africa’s past and present. The government says these fears are exaggerated and that all citizens face challenges, not just Afrikaners. This drama is more than just migration—it’s a big show about identity, history, and what it means to find a new home.
