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.
