Blakjewelry: Instead of viewing them as enemy of state why not look into the concern raised. I think the SA government should genuinely look in issues raised by afriforum with a view of addressing some of the challenges and throwing out the trash, I think that will solve some of the problem.
AfriForum has been anti-transformation for decades. Apartheid sympathizers didn't just vanish into thin air when Mandela became president. The inequality in SA is obvious for the world to see - why is it just them and white supremacists like Trump/Musk who can't see it?
heniford2: lol just USA sections on u guys u guys have been crying Wolf 🤣🤣 the greedy lazy black South Africa who refuse to work but want to enjoy who refuse to establish anything but wants to only drink beer and find ways to loot yeye people

This time around we control state resources so guess how much damage we can inflict on your white idols
franchasofficia: Stop the white genocide, #DivideSouthAfricaNOW
South Africa must be divided into white and black nations for peace to reign. We want peace in South Africa
Lol, you've already revealed your true intentions. Just a reminder, you won't get visa to Afrikaner Republiek It's the blacks that made it possible for you to japa freely to SA - your white idols locked you out during apartheid.
franchasofficia: I will personally write Donald Trump and Elon Musk on x to consider creating a two state in South Africa as a way of settling this issue in South Africa.
South Africa is ripe for division into two separate countries; one for the White South Africans and the other for the Black Mzamzi SadAfricans.
South Africa Afrikaans
Let's see how the black SadAfricans will develop their own country to be like France using xenophobia and without White South Africans they are hating and denying their vital role in making South Africa a bit developed.
#DivideSouthAfricaNOW
Lol, what 2 countries? By the time US army attacks all whites would have been eliminated by the SANDF. We control SA army remember?
Go ahead with your petition - coons like you gonna wail more than us at the aftermath.
zero8zero: You're not in power alone, you formed a coalition with them, they literally still in power too.
🙄🙄🙄 Rolling my eyes, am i debating kids? A 7 month old coalition. Who's been in power for the past 30 years? And the whites need the coalition more than we do coz EFF and MKP are ready and waiting to replace them once they pull out. They're in a vulnerable position. We call the shots. Read a book once in a while.
zero8zero: Black SA are in power as defacto but the whites are the dejure power holders. It's too late now, you woke up too late, nothing you can do to wean them off the milk.
You talking bout the land they're crying is being repossessed. Yes we're taking back the land, it's true it's the law now. We have the right to, every country in the world has land laws. So what you wailing about?
We'll now charge them with high treason and see them rot in jail for decades. You'll then wail some more.
Thundafireseun: It will be so nice to watch black SA and white South Africans fighting against each other…..
Too late 😂😂😂 We fought during apartheid and won even though we only had stones and they had the might of state weapons behind them. Today we're in power. Don't you know history, Mr First to Comment? What an embarrassment!
The MK Party (MKP) has opened a case of high treason against lobby group AfriForum following a diplomatic storm that led to US President Donald Trump's decision to cut USAID funding to the country.
On Monday, the MKP lodged a criminal complaint against the group at Cape Town Central police station.
Former Western Cape judge and incumbent MKP deputy president John Hlophe told journalists that the party vehemently condemned the "treasonous actions of AfriForum, which has deliberately lobbied foreign powers to act against the sovereignty and economic interests of South Africa".
"Their betrayal is nothing less than an act of economic sabotage, a direct assault on our nation's independence, and a dangerous attempt to undermine the will of the people," he said.
Hlophe added that AfriForum's direct appeal to a foreign government, which has resulted in economic retaliation against South Africa, aligns with many legal precedents.
He said:
AfriForum has a long and disgraceful history of opposing South Africa's democratic transformation, shielding the racist economic interests of the privileged European settler elite while disregarding the suffering of the oppressed majority.
"Their latest act of treachery – lobbying the US government to impose punitive economic measures on South Africa – is a deliberate attempt to weaken our state through external pressure."
Hlophe stressed that AfriForum had declared itself an "enemy of the South African people".
"Their divisive and anti-democratic agenda can no longer be tolerated," he said.
Trump issued an executive order on Friday, cutting all funding to South Africa and announcing refugee status for Afrikaner farmers.
He said he was punishing South Africa for what he claimed was discrimination against Afrikaner farmers and for taking "aggressive positions" against the US and its allies.
He offered resettlement for Afrikaners seeking to escape persecution and expropriation without compensation.
However, no farms have been confiscated from any farmers in South Africa.
AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel said the charges were "absurd and will not cause sleepless nights".
"It is the duty of civil society and organisations such as AfriForum to shine a light on legislation and actions that threaten the welfare of citizens and the country. We cannot keep quiet about the injustice that is being committed at the expense of South Africa, its citizens, and the South African economy," he said in a statement.
"False allegations that AfriForum has spread 'misleading information' about the Expropriation Act and that this is the reason for the USA's action against South Africa are blatant lies."
Kriel insisted that AfriForum has constantly put forward the facts, as contained in the Expropriation Act signed by President Cyril Ramaphosa, and blamed "the ANC's reckless and radical domestic and foreign policies [as] the real reason for the unstable relations with the USA and the USA's recent actions against South Africa".
"Their action against the interests of the citizens of the country is evident in, among other things, state capture and other corruption, as already pointed out by the Zondo Commission and the failure of the criminal justice system to act accordingly against individuals who are responsible for state capture and other transgressions," he said.
"It is moreover hypocritical and ironic that it is Jacob Zuma, the leader of the MKP, who, in his time as president of the country, was responsible for state capture, [and] is now the leader of the party to bring in a charge of treason against AfriForum," he said.
Police spokesperson Colonel Andrè Traut said: "A case of high treason was registered at Cape Town Central police station this afternoon [Monday] after a complainant reported an incident. The circumstances are under police investigation. The identities of the parties concerned cannot be disclosed to the media," he said.
Yes, when is Trump hitting him with an executive order for governing over uncontrollable illegal migration all over Africa and the world? Japa syndrome.
helinues: You are not a spam bot, respond accordingly to my comments you are quoting.
Why are you always bringing your issue to our space if you can solve it by yourself
Why are you always first to comment to spam bots? Tinubu not creating enough jobs for una? As his official NL spokesperson i would've thought you'd have better threads to address, but here you are. No once-off bag of rice palliative for una this Valentine's Day 😂😂😂
alanto: I don't understand why you are bringing this to us. SA is now a superpower. Face trump and leave Nigerians out of it. We've done our best for you during apartheid, it's now left for you to defend yourself and your land.
When was the last time Wimp-geria had a bold opinion on anything? State one or forever hold your peace. SA aint your mate, sit your hungry behind down.
helinues: Are there no reputable media in South Africa to be expressing this sort of emotional ranting? Why are you always bringing your issue here?
Hows the Alliance of Sahel States coming along? 😂😂😂 Can't even manage you own backyard but jump head first into Nairaland SA threads. You were first to comment and now are wailing when i thrash una 😂😂😂. I'm just warming up.
So why have you guys been feeling jittery if you can solve your issue by yourself.
Sebi you guys are now the new big brother in Africa, use your new position and influence to sort things out.
The original big brother could have used his influence but as you people have been disrespecting to him, he would allow you to fix things by yourself even if it's going to hurt
What influence by Fraud-geria? I asked you to spell out Hunger-geria's foreign policy, you couldn't. Japageria stands for nothing and is quiet on almost everything. Wimps!
Very quick lessons for the South Africans. Other Africans do as if they don't read about Usa vs Trump issue.
Chai, in life, always make sure to lay a good bed as you will be the one to lie on it
Use your technical know how to sort out whatever differences you have with Trump and Musk
SA has an unshaken foreign policy based on equality, respect for human rights and rule of law. What's Hunger-geria's foreign policy? You don't know. 😂😂😂 Sit down jobless hell-ineus. Keep singing for annual Tinubu rice palliative.
safarifarms: Don't do half baked reporting choosing what you like to push forward. Be objective, put it out as it is and let others judge for themselves.
Elon was reacting to Malema's racist talks demanding whites be killed. I guess to you that is nothing compared to Elon suggesting he should be sanctioned for that. Anything Trump and his supporters do just must be evil no matter what.
Don't do white bidding. Malema said 'Kill white ideology', not white people.
White Afrikaners rejected Trump's offer to be resettled in the USA. Do Trump and Musk claims of a white genocide then make sense?
Elon Musk has white supremacists childhood issues from growing up in SA. He's upset apartheid ended.
I grew up seeing him, i knew he was in the same league as Mandela. South Africa never forgets its friends, Nujoma is all over SA news today. RIP SOLDIER!
IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND, THE ONE EYED PERSON IS KING.
ALWAYS BIGGING YOURSELF UP.
I'M THE SHIT IN AFRICA.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, NIGERIA IS THE GIANT OF AFRICA.
Hungry giant begging for South Sudan visa. Had Trump offered you refugee status instead 90% of Hunger-geria would've been swarming US embassy right now. Your cultural rice stampede would've found it's mate 😂😂😂
