Afriforum's Us Engagement Is 'sowing Divisions' In Sa - Ramaphosa

President Cyril Ramaphosa has criticised the Afrikaner rights group AfriForum and the trade union Solidarity for their recent visit to the US , claiming they are sowing divisions within South Africa.

The two organisations travelled to Washington following an executive order from President Donald Trump regarding refugee status for certain South Africans.

During their discussions, they raised concerns about the Expropriation Act, the BELA Act and crimes against white farmers.

AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel said that US officials took these issues seriously, although the details of whom the groups met in Washington remain unclear.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Basic Education Lekgotla in Ekurhuleni on Thursday, Ramaphosa said that South Africans should work together to address their issues rather than seeking support abroad.
