In a February executive order, President Donald Trump said Afrikaners - descendants of mainly Dutch settlers who arrived in the 17th Century - could be admitted as refugees as they were "victims of unjust racial discrimination".
Relations between the US and South Africa have become increasingly strained since Trump became president in January.
Saccusa said that in a "pivotal step", it has handed the list of interested individuals to the US embassy in Pretoria.
An embassy official confirmed to the BBC that it had received the list.
Out of the 67,042 people who registered on Saccusa's site, most had Afrikaner or English names, the organisation's president, Neil Diamond, said.

the don's new-found championing of minorities is quite moving
Great news, white people are immune from persecution, fook knows why half the world has taken in people from The Ukraine.
They certainly have refugee Status how many of the Farmers families have been Brutally Murdered
The ANC party of Peace a complete disaster ,white and Black folks living in fear of them
But the don banned refugees. But now seems to have made exceptions as long as you're white
White and being Murdered , lets not forget that bit AT ,Not sure it was what Nelson wanted Back in the Day , Infact I am sure it wasnt
Seems like the don might be relaxing his ban on refugees. Do you think he will extend it or just stick to white people?
