AfriForum Challenges Ramaphosa on Land and Hate SpeechKallie Kriel accuses Ramaphosa of denialism amid job losses linked to expropriation laws and calls to condemn violent chants.
- AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel accuses President Ramaphosa of dismissing land rights concerns and highlights negative effects of expropriation legislation.
- Ramaphosa labeled genocide and land confiscation claims as misinformation damaging South Africa's global partnerships.
- Kriel condemns Ramaphosa’s refusal to denounce the 'kill the boer' chant and his disregard for AfriForum’s proposed solutions.
- The Constitutional Court rejected AfriForum’s bid to ban the chant, ruling it is protected under free speech.
It is a fact that Ramaphosa signed an Act allowing for expropriation without compensation, as well as expropriation before a court has ruled on the matter.— Kallie Kriel criticized Ramaphosa for his refusal to condemn the 'kill the boer' chant, describing it as a call for violence against Afrikaners.
