Following US President Donald Trump's latest order against South Africa, Afrikaner civic group AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel on Saturday said that his organisation remained committed to South Africa and its future.
On Friday, Trump signed an executive order cutting off aid to South Africa and claiming that the country had taken aggressive positions towards the US and its allies, including the ICJ case of genocide against Israel. He also accused South Africa of "reinvigorating its relations with Iran to develop commercial, military and nuclear arrangements".
The order also claims, falsely, that the SA government had enacted the Expropriation Act to "seize ethnic minority Afrikaners' agricultural property without compensation". It also cites "countless government policies" that fuelled "disproportionate violence against racially disfavored landowners".
The order further instructs that steps be taken to provide "humanitarian relief", including admission and resettlement for "Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination".
Kriel said that, together with trade union Solidarity, they "appreciated the recognition", but believed that the future of Afrikaners was on the southern tip of Africa.
"We have an appreciation for the fact that the USA recognises the discrimination that Afrikaners experience at the moment," he told News24.
"We do see the future of Afrikaners in Africa as a people. We were formed in Africa, and the price to leave the country would be too high.
"We remain committed to the country and its future."
AfriForum is scheduled to hold a press briefing on Saturday afternoon, during which they would provide a more comprehensive response, Kriel said.
On Friday, an order titled "Addressing Egregious Actions of the Republic of South Africa" was signed and then published by the White House early on Saturday.
This order closely reflects concerns related to expropriation without compensation and racial discrimination, issues that the Afrikaner lobby group AfriForum has been advocating in both the United States and South Africa for years.
Trump criticised South Africa, alleging that it is undermining US foreign policy by "accusing Israel, not Hamas, of genocide in the International Court of Justice and reinvigorating its relations with Iran to develop commercial, military, and nuclear arrangements".
News24 reported that the order comes days after Trump threatened action against SA, and shortly after a visit from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House – the first foreign leader to visit the US president since the start of his second term.
Trump and resettlement is like 5&6 the same way AntiIslam the dude on nairaland can't be separated from failure.

AntiIslam big fo'ol idi' ot on nairaland will soon kpai.
I’ll paint the picture. I was married to an amazing woman. She was pretty, clever, loyal, fun to be around. We had a child and brought her up well together.
I got a job working away from home, coming home at weekends. I was an idiot and fell for someone else. I still to this day have no idea why. I left my wife for this other woman. My wife divorced me and rightfully so.
I set up home with the second woman, got married and had a child.
Two years after getting married to the second woman we split up. She was nasty in just about everything she did. Apart from the birth of the child and having her around, it was the worst two years of my life. I wanted to end my life so much during that time. It was the guilt of how I treated my first wife together with being the way my second wife was behaving.
We had an almighty row and she demanded a divorce. I was happy with that because I wanted out of this relationship. I would rather be alone with the feelings of guilt for the first wife than be with this witch any longer.
Through my eldest daughter I managed to speak to my first wife again. Within a few weeks of splitting with the second wife I had met my first one. All those feelings I had had years before came rushing back. She told me that her feelings for me had never changed, even though I had really badly hurt and betrayed her. We decided that we would give it another go. We remarried and have been very happily married for ten years now.
Does my wife regret divorcing me? No. It needed to be done because I left her.
Do I regret getting divorced? No.

You get luck ,thank your God that your second wife did not stabbed you to death ☠️💀 before you came back to your senses.
