- AfriForum condemns the NPA’s refusal to prosecute ANC secretary general Mbalula for a 2016 Dubai trip costing R680,000.
- The group alleges money laundering, fraud, and corruption linked to Mbalula, highlighting risks to South Africa’s diplomatic ties with the US.
- Mbalula is further criticized for governance failures including a steep drop in rail passengers and rising crime rates during his ministerial terms.
- AfriForum seeks to enable private prosecutions and advocate for US sanctions against Mbalula based on evidence compiled in their dossier.
"We know what the implications would be of further punitive measures by the United States against this country," said Kallie Kriel, the chief executive of AfriForum. "We’ve tried to avert that by trying to find solutions to this international friction that we are seeing. But if these efforts are being sabotaged as Mr Mbalula is doing, the country will bear the brunt of his reckless behaviour."— Kallie Kriel, AfriForum CEO, on the potential consequences of US sanctions and AfriForum's efforts to resolve tensions.
