US President, Donald Trump, signed an executive order against South Africa last week, citing South Africa’s land policy that claimed the government was allowed to sieze White Afrikaner land without compensation. Trump also granted refugee status to Afrikaners.
In response, AfriForum rejected Trump’s proposal and said it remained committed to staying in South Africa and that Afrikaners have a future in the country.
“We were formed as a people in Africa and we can only survive as a cultural community on the southern top of Africa,” he said.
The MK Party will give more details of their action on Monday.
