Mk Partys Absurd Treason Case Has No Grounds, Says Afriforum

AfriForum says the MK Party's case of treason against the organisation has no grounds.

On Monday the MK Party opened a case of treason at the Cape Town central police station against the lobby group for allegedly spreading misinformation about South Africa's land and race policies, which resulted in US President Donald Trump cutting off aid to South Africa .

AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel said the charges are absurd and would not cause sleepless nights.

It is the duty of civil society and organisations such as AfriForum to shine a light on legislation and actions that threaten the welfare of citizens and the country, Kriel said.

We cannot keep quiet about the injustice that is being committed at the expense of South Africa, its citizens and the South African economy. False allegations that AfriForum has spread misleading information about the Expropriation Act and that this is the reason for the USAs action against South Africa are blatant lies.
