The wife of Lindani Myeni wants to raise her children in South Africa because she does not believe it is safe for black children in the United States.

I don't want to raise kids that are considered black in America, where clearly it's not safe," Lindsay Myeni said on Thursday.

She was speaking at the memorial service for her husband in Empangeni, KwaZulu-Natal.
