I'm looking for confirmation of this story from another source, so I'm putting it in Tin Hats for now. 
South African government say NO to US government's offer of 100 Billion dollars to take in refugees in case Yellowstone erupts
(Translated from Afrikaans.)
The ANC government has DENIED a request from the U.S. government to be part of a U.S. disaster management plan for which South Africa would receive $ 10 billion a year for ten years. The plan would be to provide a place of refuge for millions of Americans in South Africa, should the Yellowstone super volcano errupt.
Countries that will participate with the US is Brazil , Argentina and Australia. A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs , Dr. Sipho Matwetwe , "South Africa will not be part of the plan, because there is a risk that millions of white Americans could be sent to South Africa in an emergency situation and that this would pose a risk to black national culture identity.
U.S. scientists have identified South Africa as an area where people could survive the volcanic winter Yellowstone would cause.
Although the South African ministries of foreign affairs and science and technology are the fully informed of the U.S. plan , together with the large amounts of money that the US government would would pay for temporary housing for Americans in the Karoo and the Kalahari, the Cabinet decided to request the U.S. reject .
The R100 billion would have been paid to South Africa from 2014 every year for ten years, after which the plan would be reviewed .
According to Dr . Sipho Mathetwe , the South African government " have sympathy for the American challenge of Yellowstone , but we have our own challenges in South Africa . There are 200 million white people in America , and if too many of them come to South Africa, it is a big problem, even though there is enough housing and infrastructure available . It will destabilize the country and may even bring back apartheid . South Africa is not for sale. "
The U.S. ambassador in Pretoria was not available for comment .
