More Foreign Pressure On Anc Essential: Solidarity Movement

Solidarity Movement chairperson, Flip Buys says they do not like the African National Congress ANC, but love the country.

The Solidarity Movement, AfriForum, and Solidarity held a media conference over US president, Donald Trumps executive order on the possible resettling of Afrikaners in the US, as well as halting funding to the country.

Trump signed an executive order to cut financial assistance to South Africa, citing disapproval of the African nation's land policy and of its genocide case at the International Court of Justice against Washington's ally Israel.

Buys says more foreign pressure on the ANC is essential as the constitutional settlement is being violated by the party.

"We want to state that the order of Mr. Trump is the result of reckless policies of the ANC leadership that alienate the superpower and not a so-called disinformation campaign from our side. It is furthermore the product of years of diplomatic neglect by such African diplomats. We want to state clearly that we were not aware that Mister Trump would issue this order. In the light of the latest developments, we will urgently request a meeting with President Ramaphosa to address the possible differences between us and to find solutions to that."
