Recommendable! I am not sure I would call this work heroic. The article also covers Rhodesia/Zimbabwe.
Over the years, there have been numerous reports of white South Africans being mistreated, treated violently, or even killed for being white.
Caveat: I did not read the entire, long article.
"... In response to South Africa’s continued decline, the Trump Administration has made five requests of the country’s political leadership:
(1) Address the murder of farmers, who are disproportionately white and are often targeted for racial reasons, and rural violence more generally, by declaring it a priority crime.
(2) Condemn as hate speech the “Kill the Boer [Afrikaner] kill the farmer” chants that have been defended by South Africa’s president and are popular with some on the South African Left, including members of parliament.
(3) Ban land expropriation—almost invariably from white South Africans—without appropriate compensation.
(4) Remove or alter certain racially discriminatory black economic empowerment programs that demand black equity ownership stakes in white-owned companies, especially with respect to U.S. companies operating in South Africa.
(5) Demonstrate true political non-alignment by distancing from U.S. adversaries.
Such requests are eminently reasonable—but the South African regime has been haughtily dismissive, leading to the Trump Administration’s initial travel-related and other sanctions against the regime and its leading figures, which it has promised to escalate if the country’s leaders do not change course.
