  • Lobby group Afriforum responded to the United States President Donald Trump's executive order granting Afrikaners asylum access and slamming SA's policies.

The article from MSN discusses AfriForum's response to former U.S. President Donald Trump's invitation for Afrikaners to seek refuge in the United States. AfriForum, a South African civil rights organization, has expressed gratitude for Trump's offer but emphasized that their primary goal is to address issues within South Africa rather than encouraging emigration. They are focusing on legal battles to protect the rights of minorities, particularly Afrikaners, against what they perceive as discriminatory policies and farm attacks. AfriForum's spokesperson, Ernst Roets, highlighted the organization's efforts to engage with international communities to raise awareness about the situation in South Africa, while also noting that Trump's statement has brought significant attention to their cause. However, they remain committed to improving conditions in South Africa for all its citizens.
