Afriforum Reiterates Calls For Us Sanctions Against Ramaphosa

AfriForum chief executive Kallie Kriel said on Tuesday he was not concerned about high treason charges filed against the lobby group, and reiterated his call for the Trump administration to sanction President Cyril Ramaphosa and other ANC leaders.

I will not be having any sleepless nights regarding the complaints of high treason against AfriForum as these complaints are baseless, Kriel said in messages sent from the United States.

If the state however decides to act against us, it will strengthen our position because it will show that there are indeed ANC leaders that abuse their power to govern against certain sections of the population while ANC leaders that have been implicated for corruption in the Zondo commission are not being acted against.

He warned: Certainly a court case would also provide a platform for AfriForum to show that the people that are really disloyal to this country and its people are ANC leaders, through their irresponsible policies and their corruption.

The first case of high treason was opened about three weeks ago by the uMkhonto weSizwe MK party, which said on Tuesday the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation the Hawks had taken over the investigation.
