AfriForum’s Kallie Kriel speaking at a briefing.
Lobby group AfriForum has denied allegations that it is spreading disinformation that government is committing genocide against Afrikaners in South Africa.
This, after President Cyril Ramaphosa condemned what he called a disinformation campaign that was impacting South Africa’s relations with the United States.
Ramaphosa said the false information that some groups and individuals were spreading had influenced the US administration’s stance on South Africa.
Critics have accused AfriForum of spreading disinformation in the US following its trip to the White House in February this year.
AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel says, “AfriForum never spread any misinformation. The real misinformation that is being spread is by those who are trying to deny the real threats that the Expropriation Act has for the economy of the country. The President signed the Expropriation Act on the 23rd of January, and [US] President [Donald] Trump responded ten days later. AfriForum played no role in that.”
