Current estimates of white poverty in South Africa run as high as 12%, though fact-checking website Africa Check described these figures as "grossly inflated", and suggested that a more accurate estimate was that "only a tiny fraction of the white population – as little as 7,754 households – are affected".
目前，估計高達12％的南非白人處於貧困，儘管事實核查網站非洲核查將這些數字形容為“嚴重膨脹”，並表示更準確的估計是“只佔白人人口的一小部分－只有7,754個家庭受到影響”。
