Afriforum - ANC, not us, brought Trump’s wrath onto SA. For once, Cyril, accept responsibility

Kallie Kriel, CEO of Afriforum, SA’s most powerful civic society organisation, shares uncomfortable truths in this interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg. The former schoolteacher, whose 18-year-old organisation boasts a vast network and over 300 000 contributing members, says the ANC and other supporters of EWC are spinning a false tune. He says the legislation is deeply malevolent. Among the unspoken consequences is the way this law will empower radical agents right down to a municipal level to attack all property rights - not just land, but any asset - put the onus on victims to fight through an expensive, snail-paced legal system. Kriel remains hopeful that US President Donald Trump’s intervention jolts Pretoria into recanting before the full impact of US economic power is unleashed on SA.
