Kallie Kriel: AfriForum, farm murders, US visas & the fight for community power
Loading player...
AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel joins Sunday Times deputy editor Mike Siluma for a wide-ranging conversation.
They discuss AfriForum’s dual role as watchdog and community-builder, how the organisation defines “community”, its critique of race-based BEE, opposition to expropriation without compensation, and what “self-determination” actually means. Kriel defends AfriForum’s engagement with the US president Donald Trump administration, explains the timeline around the US visa restrictions, and makes the case for treating farm murders as a priority crime. He also talks about the recent meeting with March and March, the “Kill the Boer” judgment, and relations with President Cyril Ramaphosa. An exchange on identity, history, and whether AfriForum is part of the solution or part of the problem in South Africa.
